6. PITCH SHIFT Function
The PITCH SHIFT function is available if you have selected it in the MODULATION EFX Func-
tion.
Pitch Shifting is used to change the pitch of the input signal to produce a harmony note based on the
input signal. The harmony voice may be of any fixed interval—up to one octave above the input signal
to two octaves below—and is selected in 20-cent increments. Fine adjustment can be made in one cent
(1/ 100th semi tone) increments.
The PARAMETER SELECT knob will allow you to access these PITCH SHIFT parameters:
The PITCH SHIFT IN/OUT parameter determines whether the Pitch Shifter is
active or bypassed for the current preset.
The LEVEL parameter determines the volume of the pitch shifted signal. The
DIR/EFF MIX parameter in the Mixer function also affects this volume.
The PAN parameter allows you to pan the shifted signal to the left or right chan-
nel.
The PITCH parameter selects what harmony note the UTOPIA B200 will
produce based on the input note. The value displayed for this parameter
represents the number of cents that the signal will be shifted (adjustable in
20-cent increments). Each 100 cents (or five 20-cent steps) above or below "0"
represents the number of half-steps the shifted signal will be from the input
signal.
This parameter is adjustable from "-2400" to "+1200", where "-2400" = two
octaves below the input signal, "0" = unison and "+1200' = one octave above the
input signal. Refer to the table below to determine the cent value for each fixed
interval.
The FINE parameter allows for adjustment in 1-cent steps for fine adjustment of
the harmony note.
The SPEED parameter determines the amount of time delay used in the shifting
process. SLOW results in the longest delay and the highest quality shifted sig-
nal (especially at larger amounts of pitch shift), FAST results in the least delay,
but the lowest quality shifted signal. This setting should only be used for slight
amounts of pitch shift.
