Slim Phatty User’s Manual - The User Interface

NOTE: While you are in this menu with AutoTune enabled, the output of the SP will be muted (the

Output ON/OFF button status will not change, however). The reason for muting the output is that

AutoTune uses a special Calibration Preset tone which isn’t very musical. The SP’s output will remain

muted as long as you stay in this menu, or until you disable AutoTune. If AutoTune is active when you

leave the menu, it will remain active but will automatically unmute the output and disengage when you

start playing. AutoTune has a special ‘timeout’ feature that waits 15 seconds after you stop playing

before engaging the AutoTune function in the background. If the AutoTune menu is displayed during this

time, you will see it change:

AUTO …

Until the timeout is nished, at which point, the target note will appear again:

AUTO 60.12

The SP will continue to autotune while you are playing until you disable it in the menu, or until you

switch off the power.

For more on the Calibration Preset and a list of its parameter values, see Appendix C.

TUNING SCALE:

Tuning Scale is a feature that allows you to specify one of 32 alternate

tuning scales for the SP. The default value of ‘0’ is ’Equal Temperament’,

meaning normal Western tuning. Additional scales can be added using

the Little Phatty Scale Editor software, available for the Mac and PC

platforms.

While the cursor is positioned under the selected scale, pressing the

ENTER switch presents a second page that allows you to set the root

note of the desired scale. This puts the start of the scale on whatever

note you prefer, allowing you to specify the custom tuning for any

mode or root note you wish to play in. Tuning scales are global settings

which are saved after power down.

NOTE: The Little Phatty Scale Editor can also open any 12-note tuning le created by Scala, a cross-

platform program for dening and analyzing microtonal tunings.
