On behalf of everyone at Oberheim Electronics, we’d like to offer both our
thanks and congratulations on your decision to purchase OB-Tune™. Based
on technology developed by Antares Audio Technologies for their worldrenowned Auto-Tune™ pitch correction plug-ins, OB-Tune offers you a
powerful pitch correction tool wrapped in an easy-to-use, classic Oberheim
interface.
Many artists struggle with intonation. Up until recently, many of our most
celebrated entertainers spent hours in the studio doing retake after retake,
trying to sing expressively and in tune. Afterwards, their producers spent
yet more time trying to correct intonation problems using inadequate tools.
Then, in 1997, Antares Audio Technologies changed all of that with the
introduction of Auto-Tune, a software plug-in that actually corrected the
pitch of vocals and other solo instruments, in real time, without distortion
or artifacts, while preserving all of the expressive nuance of the original
performance. Because of Auto-Tune, sessions could now focus on feeling
and expression, rather than retakes. Studio hours were reduced and production costs were lowered. Even artists in live performance situations could
concentrate on interpretation, confident that any pitch inaccuracies would
be caught and corrected before they made it out to the audience.
Now, with OB-Tune, Oberheim gives you the power of Auto-Tune’s core
pitch correction algorithms at an extremely friendly price. What’s more,
OB-Tune is incredibly easy to use (a fact attested to by the brevity of this
manual). So fire up OB-Tune, invest a half hour or so in reading the following pages, and prepare to make intonation problems a thing of the past.
Again, thanks.

Chapter 1: Getting Started
How To Use This Manual
OB-Tune has a very friendly user-interface (if Oberheim had made a pitch
correction box in 1979, this is what it would have looked like). However,
because OB-Tune does things that have never been done before, a few
aspects of the user-interface may not be immediately obvious. You should
read either Chapter 3, OB-Tune Controls, or Chapter 4, OB-Tune Tutorial,
to learn the essential information you will need to operate OB-Tune.

for all of the controls used in the OB-Tune interface. Much of the information in this chapter is also presented in Chapter 4, however some of the less
important controls are only explained in Chapter 3.

Installing OB-Tune
Basic instructions for installing OB-Tune are located in the OB-Tune Read Me
file that is included with your download. This file may also contain any lastminute OB-Tune information that didn’t make it into this manual.
OB-Tune is designed to work with most PC-based audio applications that
support the DirectX plug-in format. Each of these applications have their
own specific methods of installing and using plug-ins. Please refer to your
host application’s user manual for information on installing and using
OB-Tune.
Authorizing OB-Tune
Authorization (the process by which the OB-Tune software installed on
your computer is allowed to run) is accomplished by a technique called
“Challenge/Response.” When you purchased OB-Tune, your email address
was associated with a unique number in the registration database. The first
time that you launch OB-Tune, you will be asked for registration information. be sure to register with the same email address that your MusicYo.com
account is set up with because this is how you are listed in the registration
database.
You can choose between automated registration, or mail/fax registration.
Automated registration is instant and easy. Simply fill out the registration
form and click FINISH. OB-Tune will connect to the registration database,
unlock your new software, and notify MusicYo.com that you have completed your purchase. If you choose the mail or fax method, you will need
to email the completed registration form to obtune@musicyo.com, or fax it
to (509)355-2918. This process could take up to one week to complete since
it must be processed manually.

machine it is installed on only. If you need to move your software to
another machine, you will have to re-authorize your copy by contacting
obtune@musicyo.com.
