Global Modes
Overview
Evoke’s Global Mode setting configures how the resynthesis engine operates and how it responds to additional inputs such as MIDI and sidechain audio routed into the plugin.
While not required for standard use, these modes offer additional ways to integrate Evoke into your project, unlocking greater musical flexibility and creative sound-design possibilities.
Global Mode
Clicking on the Global Mode dropdown will reveal the following options:
Pitch Track. Detects the input’s pitch, then applies retuning and harmonization based on the scale set on the Keyboard Panel. Ideal for auto-tuning workflows because it only requires an audio input and no additional routing. This is the default mode.
MIDI Track. Functions identically to Pitch Track, but the scale is defined by external MIDI notes routed into the plugin. This lets you merge Evoke’s pitch detection with external chord progressions, mapping the original melody onto chords or other sequences. Results can be striking. Try this mode to reharmonize a repeating vocal so it follows a longer progression, or to drive harmonies from a MIDI clip or keyboard.
MIDI Instrument. Bypasses internal pitch tracking and harmonization, using incoming MIDI notes to set the resynthesis pitch. Use it to specify exact notes from a MIDI clip or keyboard or to play Evoke like a standard synthesizer or vocoder. In this mode, all scale settings are ignored. This mode supports up to eight voices of polyphony.
External. Bypasses all internal pitch tracking and sound generation and uses the external sidechain input instead. Evoke applies its vocal modeling to that signal, enabling vocoder-like processing and a wide range of sound design applications. In this mode, scale settings and MIDI have no effect.
Note that sending MIDI into Evoke (or any MIDI effect plugin) varies between DAWs, and very few send MIDI to effects automatically, so explicit routing is usually required. Please refer to your DAW’s manual for setup instructions.
