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

Parameter

Description

PITCH

The Pitch parameter determines the harmony note the Intellifex XL 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 adjust-
able 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 represents 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 XL. 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 1025mS
following the input signal. It is adjustable from 0 to 1025mS in 5mS
increments.
