The

Mode parameter provides many scales which the Intellipitch can use to determine harmony notes. Once

the desired key and mode have been selected, each voice can provide a harmony note based on both the input
note and the value of the

Interval parameter selected for that particular voice.

The following examples illustrate the scalular structure of each of the available modes. Each example is shown

using C as the tonic note (i.e., the

Key parameter value).

Using the Intelligent Shift Configuration

The staff above shows the scale steps for each note in an Ionian scale with a C tonic note.

With the Mode parameter set to "Ionian", setting an Interval parameter to "+THIRD" and playing a C

note results in the Intellipitch producing an E harmony note, as E is the major 3rd interval from the tonic
C. Likewise, setting the Interval parameter to "+FIFTH" results in the Intellipitch producing a G harmony
note, as G is a perfect 5th from C.

Playing any other note within the selected scale results in the Intellipitch determining the harmony

note in the same manner. For example, playing a D note when the Interval parameter is set to "+THIRD"
results in an F harmony note, as F is a 3rd interval from D when C is the tonic.

The following figures show the scalular structure of each of the remaining modes.

RANGE

The

Range parameter can be used to optimize the pitch shifter for the

best possible performance based on the current application. The follow-
ing selections are available:

GUITAR

BASS

WIDE

VOCAL

Selecting a range that is based on the current application will ensure the
smallest delay and the smoothest pitch shift possible.
