Pitch Range VoiceNet dimension guide

Rhythm & Timingcode vn_RANGslot 44
This dimension measures the vertical movement of pitch across the segment. Below: the merge-scaling dose-response for the __high and __low LoRA (laion/moss-voicenet-dimension-loras) at 25/50/75/100/125%, the measured target value at each dose, the top-3 ± correlated EmoNet emotions and VoiceNet dimensions, three audio samples per dose, and a grounded prompting tip. Costs are shifts vs. the 24-sample neutral baseline in genuineness, vocal-burst blend and speech quality.

Pitch Range controls the vertical movement of pitch across the segment. The __high LoRA shifts it +0.76 at 125% (worst cost: burst-blend -0.36); the __low LoRA shifts it -0.04 at 125% (worst cost: burst-blend -0.30). The __high direction is the stronger, more reliable knob here.

Merging Pitch Range __high ramps the dimension: at the recommended 125% dose the measured Pitch Range score moves from a 0.10 baseline to 0.86 (a +0.76 shift). The dose-response is clean and monotonic — each step pushes the dimension further. That reach is a steep cost — the biggest hit is to burst-blend (-0.36); across the board genuineness -0.08, burst-blend -0.36, speech quality -0.23. Emotionally it reads as Triumph (r 0.64), Anger (0.64) and Elation (0.62), and it moves away from Contemplation, Relief and Contentment. On other voice dimensions it co-moves most with Arousal (0.96), Dynamic Arc (0.95) and Metallic Character (0.94), while pulling down Warmth, Whisper-Talk Style and Vulnerability. Practical call: merge __high at 100–125%; expect Triumph and Arousal to rise and burst-blend to fall. If you don’t want Triumph bleeding in, offset it with a prompt cue toward Contemplation to keep the pitch range shift without the side-effect.

Merging Pitch Range __low dials back the dimension: at the recommended 125% dose the measured Pitch Range score moves from a 0.10 baseline to 0.07 (a -0.04 shift). The dose-response is clean and monotonic — each step pushes the dimension further. That reach is a steep cost — the biggest hit is to burst-blend (-0.30); across the board genuineness +0.02, burst-blend -0.30, speech quality -0.30. Emotionally it reads as Elation (r 0.39), Interest (0.36) and Malevolence/Malice (0.35), and it moves away from Fatigue/Exhaustion, Sadness and Disappointment. On other voice dimensions it co-moves most with Metallic Character (0.80), Arousal (0.78) and Tension (0.74), while pulling down Vulnerability, Oral Resonance and Disfluency. Practical call: merge __low at 100–125%; expect Elation and Metallic Character to rise and burst-blend to fall. If you don’t want Elation bleeding in, offset it with a prompt cue toward Fatigue/Exhaustion to keep the pitch range shift without the side-effect.
