6. Principle of Operation
Caution: Digital Output overload
As the input signal enters at the unit’s input (A), the unaltered direct signal is fed
to the Direct Pre/Post HUSH Selector (B). Here you may choose for the direct
signal to remain unaltered (Pre) or feed it through the digital HUSH section (E) of
the Intellipitch (Post). Before being fed to the HUSH section, the signal must first
be converted from an analog signal to digital via the converter (D). When the
direct signal is fed to the HUSH section, it will remain digital until it is summed
together with the output of the Effects Level control (G).
It is important to remember that it is possible to overload the Digital-to-Analog
Converter (H) if the effects levels and direct signal level are set too high when
using the HUSH section with the direct signal. If this occurs, reduce these levels
until the front panel CLIP L.E.D. does not light.
Also note that when passing the direct signal through the digital HUSH (Post), a
stereo signal will be converted to mono.
The first function accessible when turning the FUNCTION SELECT control in any
preset is the Mixer function. This digital mixer allows you to control the signal levels pertain-
ing to each preset’s configuration and stores these levels for each preset.
MIXER Function
The Intellipitch provides many parameters to achieve the widest variety of preset sounds possible. The param-
eters available for a given configuration are divided into sections accessible via the FUNCTION SELECT control.
This section will discuss each of the functions that are available which relate to a preset's overall sound. Utility-
based functions, such as MIDI operation, title editing, and factory preset restoration, are described in Chapters 8
and 9.
