PITCH SHIFT

Pitch Shifting is used to change the pitch of the input signal to produce one to four harmony notes based on a

single input signal. The Hush; Pitch Shift; Delay configuration offers 4 harmony voices while the Hush; Pitch Shift;

Delay; Reverb configuration offers 2. Each harmony voice may be of any fixed interval - from to one octave above

the input signal to two octaves below - and is selected in 20 cent increments. Increments of one cent (1/100th of a

semitone) are also available for fine adjustment via the Fine parameter.

PITCH SHIFT PARAMETERS

Pitch

The Pitch parameter determines the harmony note the Intellifex LTD will

produce based on the input note. An interval is the distance in semitones

between the pitches of two musical tones (i.e. the distance from an A note to a

C note is considered a minor third interval, this equals 3 half-steps or 300

cents). The Pitch parameter is adjustable in 20 cent increments and any

interval may be selected from one octave above to two octaves below the

input signal. This parameter is adjustable from -2400 to +1200 - where -2400

= 2 octaves below the input signal, 0 = unison and +1200 = one octave above

the input signal. Each 100 cents (or 5 - 20 cent steps) above or below 0 repre-

sents the amount of half-steps (or semitones) the harmony note will be above

or below the input signal.

Fine

The Fine parameter allows for fine adjustment of pitch change in 1 cent steps

(or 1/100th of a semitone) for finer adjustment of the harmony note.

Level

The Level parameter determines the volume of each voice relative to the other

voices of the effect. (This is not the same as the Pitch Shift Level parameter

found in the Mixer Function parameter list.)

Pan

This parameter allows you to pan the shifted note to the left or right channel of

the Intellifex LTD. It is adjustable from 0 to 100, where 0 = full left, 100 = full

right and 50 = center.

Delay

This parameter allows for the shifted signal to be delayed up to 418mS follow-

ing the input signal. It is adjustable from 0 to 418mS in 2mS increments.
