Pitch Shifters

The pitch shifter allows you to move sound from one pitch to another. It accomplishes this by recording a small part of the original sound and

then playing it back either faster (to raise the pitch) or slower (to lower the pitch). It does this over and over again to create a new pitch

When do I use pitch shifting? Guitarists are probably the most well known users of pitch shifters. They commonly pitch shift their

sound down by an octave to get a deep rumble out of their distortion, or shift it an octave up to emulate a 12 string guitar.

Both guitar and synth players have created some amazing textures by pitch shifting their sound up a fifth (7 semitones). This creates

more complex chords out of simple ones (e.g. a basic Cmaj chord sounds like a Cmaj9 chord, or Cmin7 becomes a Cmin11 chord).

Pitch Shifters Parameters:

FX: Lvl Controls the signal input level fed to the module. Ranges from Off to 100%.

Dry: Lvl Controls the level of the dry (uneffected) signal. Ranges from Off to 100%.

Balance Controls the positioning of the dry signal in the stereo soundfield. Ranges from -99 (all left) to 99 (all right)

Shft A - B SHFTA and SHFTB control the pitch intervals between the original note and voices A and B of the pitch shifter.

Pitch shifters can be used for a wide variety of effects, including doubling, octave division, and chromatic

harmonies. Each Pitch Shifter has a 4-octave range, stepped in semitones from -24 to +24.

Dtn A - B Controls the detuning amount for pitch-shifted voices A and B. As DTN moves away from zero, dissonance

becomes more pronounced. Low DTN settings can be useful for thickening or enhancing the imaging of the

source material. Ranges from -50% to 50%.

Shft C - D See Shift A - B.

Dtn C - D See Dtn A - B.

Shft E - H See Shift A - B.

Dtn E - H See Dtn A - B.

Key Sets the diatonic key for the harmonies. If the song you are playing is in the key of G Major, you would select G

for the scale.

Scale Sets the scale type for the Harmony you want to hear. Scale types include: Major, Minor, Harmonic Minor,

Melodic Minor, Dorian, Mixolydian, Lydian, Lydian Augmented, Major Pentatonic, Minor Pentatonic,

Blues, Whole Tone, Half-Whole, and Whole-Half.

Interval Sets the basic interval of the Harmony. You can choose from one of several Harmony intervals. See the

Harmony Interval Charts for reference in the appendix section.

Out A - B Adjusts the overall level of pitch-shifted voice A or B. Ranges from Off to 100%.

Pan A - B Controls the placement of pitch-shifted voice A or B in the stereo image. Ranges from -99 (all left) to 99 (all

right).

Out C - D Adjusts the overall level of pitch-shifted voice C or D. Ranges from Off to 100%.

Pan C - D Controls the placement of pitch-shifted voice C or D in the stereo image. Ranges from -99 (all left) to 99 (all

right).
