***

### Overview

Evoke’s Keyboard Panel contains controls for the global scale, pitch detection, and input processing. Start here after loading a new instance of Evoke to ensure the plugin is optimized for your incoming audio.

{% hint style="info" %}
By default, all **Keyboard Panel** settings are preserved (locked) when you change presets. This is because these settings are more relevant to the input signal than to the rest of Evoke’s processing.

If you would like to recall the **Keyboard Panel** settings that were saved with a preset, click the **Lock** button in the top-right of the panel.
{% endhint %}

### 1. Input Controls&#x20;

The **Input Controls** provide tools for gain staging and cleaning up the input signal. These adjustments occur before any other processing.

### 2. Pitch Range

The **Pitch Range** setting provides a way to limit Evoke’s pitch detection to a specific frequency range. Matching this setting to your input material can help stabilize pitch tracking.

### 3. Keyboard

Evoke’s **Keyboard** can be used to enable or disable notes in the current scale and provides visual feedback on pitch detection, such as the currently detected note.

### 4. Scale Settings

Use the **Scale Settings** to set the root note, choose the preset scale type, and adjust Evoke’s reference pitch. These settings ensure Evoke matches your project, especially when using multi-voice harmonization.
