Types of Shifting
Fixed (Chromatic) Shifting
Fixed (or chromatic) shifting applies the same shift to all notes regardless of the
input note or harmony key, resulting in a shifted signal that is transposed from
the input by a fixed number of semitones.

Display Description
-12 to -1

1 to 12

Detune Shifting
Detune shifting applies a very small fixed amount of pitch shifting to a voice
in order to produce a thicker overall sound. Typically each voice is detuned in
opposite directions. This is done automatically on the HarmonyMan
TM
because
Voice 1 is always detuned up and Voice 2 is always detuned down. Four detune
shifts are provided ranging from 5 cents to 30 cents (one cent is 1/100 of a
semitone).
