Autotune?

[ArtechnikA]

I've found autotune works well on fretless bass with the right settings; ie. correction speed low otherwise slides sound fretted. It really helps with intonation - of course, I know learning to play fretless properly and accurately would negate the need for it but it's a good solution for now. I'm looking for a pedal that will achieve this for playing live - if anyone knows of one, please let me know.

TC Helicon makes a couple of vocal processors that might work for you. I started watching them when I was in a band most of the members called "The DNA Band" -- Desperately Needs Autotune. Singer-songwriter BL thought he was God's gift to vocalization - he wasn't...

BTW - Welcome to TalkBass.
(You may catch some heat for reviving a Zombie thread, but it's just the natural consequence of someone using the Search, like we also recommend, so rock on...)

Thanks for the reply - I've been looking at the TC Helicon pedals myself; the only off-putting thing with them is that they don't appear to have instrument jack sockets, just XLR in and out. As for 'catching some heat for reviving a zombie thread', I can handle as much virtual heat as anyone can generate.

They have instrument in/out 1/4" that's typically used as a pitch reference for the mic inputs. You'll need a pitch reference from something... XLR from instrument-level is easy - you just need a DI. Many from which to choose.

Is there an atotune pedal?
Might well be fun!
