In this Auto Tune EFX+ tutorial, J. Chris Griffin demonstrates how to use Auto-Motion and Auto-EFX to spice up a guitar track and add exciting new musical parts and effects to a song.

Hear how Chris takes a single sustained guitar note and uses Auto-Motion with automation in Pro Tools to generate new melodic patterns that change along with the chords. Then he automates Pitch, Throat, and Filter controls in the Auto-EFX​ multi-effects rack, using the XY Pad as a real-time controller to create filter swells and add motion to the final track.
