Pitch Shifter
The stereo pitch shifting eect is often used in two dierent ways. One is to set the Mix knob lower and only use the Cent knob to make a small o set in pitch between
the wet and dry sounds. This results in a “voice doubling” eect that thickens the overall sound in a subtler way. The extreme use of the eect is to turn the Mix knob
fully clockwise, so the entire signal is aected. This way, the signal can be shifted into other keys up to an octave above or below the original. When used on a voice,
this results in a chipmunk sound or a low Darth Vader eect. When the Semi and Cent controls are set at 12 o’clock, the pitch is not altered. Making adjustments by
semitone will have a very pronounced eect, whereas changes to the Cent knob will be very minor. The Delay control creates a time dierence between the wet and
dry sound. The HI CUT controls allow the eected signal to be band-limited. The Dual Pitch eect allows the left and right channels to be adjusted independently and
allows panning of the two channels. The Mode button switches between Modern or Vintage options. Vintage mode adds a feedback control which allows shimmer
style pitchshifting as the signal is sent back into the eect. As you turn the control CCW more signal is sent back through.
Item Control Function
1 Semi control Adjusts the pitch shifting amount in whole tones. Range is from -12 to +12, with 0 at centre.
2 Cent control
Cent tunes the pitch shifting in 1% increments of a whole tone. Range is from -100 to +100, with 0
at top dead centre.
3 Delay control Sets the delay time before the pitch shift. Range is from 1 ms to 2 s.
4 Feedback control Sets the amount of feedback (output fed back to input) in %. Range is from 0 to 100%
5 Pan control Adjusts the position of the individual channel signal in the unit's stereo output.
6 HF Cut control Adjusts the HF attenuation of delay repeats. Range is from 2k to 20k.
7 Mode - switch Toggle between Modern or Vintage mode.
8 MIX control knob Controls the balance between dry signal and eect. Range is from 0% to 100%, with 50 at centre.
9 Input and Output meters Shows the input/output signal levels on dual 14-segment meters.
10 Bypass button Switches pitch shifter eect on/o.
11 Feedback control (Vintage mode only) Repeats the pitch shifted eect to add a shimmer type sound.
