Logic Flex Pitch is mostly inaccessible with VoiceOver

I submitted a shortened version of the feedback below to the Logic Pro team. Here’s my email: We need to help them make Flex Pitch accessible. It’s very unacceptable for it to remain inaccessible for so many years now. They had a character limit, so I had to omit a lot of details, but hopefully, they will follow up with me. You can also submit feedback to the Logic Pro team by going to the Logic Pro menu with VO+M and selecting ‘Provide Logic Pro Help’ under the menu. Thank you, hopefully, they will release an update to allow us to use this tool effectively.

Hello, Flex Pitch is one of the essential tools for vocals in Logic. However, it is mostly unusable with the keyboard. Therefore, it is impossible for blind musicians to use most of the features in Flex Pitch. Here is a brief list of the features we cannot use.

1: Manual pitch correction. We can navigate by transient and use the MIDI In function to correct the pitch at the playhead, but that means we can only correct pitches to A440, making them perfectly in tune, which is not always ideal. It would be fantastic if we could navigate between pitches with the left and right arrow keys and adjust them by, for example, 10 cents with the up and down arrows, or a cent with command+option+up/down arrows. It would also be great to hear the pitches as we navigate or adjust them.

2: Other adjustments such as vibrato or pitch drift are completely inaccessible. VoiceOver cannot read or interact with these elements at all, which is a huge problem. It would be great if we had these tools also accessible by the keyboard. For example, Command Option 1 could allow us to adjust pitch, and Command Option 2 could switch to vibrato adjustment view, so the arrow keys could control different parameters depending on the selected tool.

3: It is not possible for blind users to select pitches and transpose them individually. It should be possible to select pitches using Shift with the left or right arrow keys. VoiceOver should also announce which pitches are selected as we move between them. This would make many workflows possible. For example, if I want to create vocal harmonies and need to transpose all selected pitches by four semitones, it should be easy to do. Right now this is not possible, which forces blind musicians to rely on assistance from a sighted producer or use other tools such as Melodyne.

Please implement these features, as they would greatly enhance many musicians' workflows. These improvements would not only benefit blind users but also sighted musicians who prefer using keyboard shortcuts instead of dragging notes with a mouse.

I am paying the same price for this software as sighted users, so I should be able to use it just as effectively in Logic. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
