minus 13 scale-steps below to 13 scales steps above
which equals +/- one octave plus a diatonic sixth.

correct voices it is necessary to enter which key you are
playing in. Keys are listed as: C, C#, D , D#, E, F, F#, G,
G#, A, A#, and B.

Voice 1-2
Range: -13 to Unison to 13
The intelligent pitch-shifter can add two voices within the
selected scale. The pitch-shifter automatically calculates
the correct interval according to the played note, selected
scale type and key.
Level 1-2
Range: -100 to 0dB
Sets the individual levels of the two voices.
Pan Position 1-2
Range: -/+50
Controls the panning position of each of the two voices.
0 is center position. By panning the voices you can
achieve a very wide spread sound.
Delay 1-2
Delay range: 0-50ms
To a get at natural sounding result is it obvious to
simulate that no two guitarist would play notes precisely
at the same time. To simulate this you can delay the
harmony voices slightly. Just 10-20ms of delay will give
in a smooth and natural sounding result.

signal.
