Congratulations on your purchase of the Rocktron Intellipitch ™ !
The Intellipitch is a 24-bit, MIDI-programmable digital effects processor featuring
intelligent, chromatic and reverse pitch shifting algorithms. In addition, the Intellipitch also
provides a host of other effects, including 8-voice stereo chorusing, three different digital
delay algorithms, unsurpassed digital reverb quality and highly flexible configuration
programming (allowing for simultaneous operation of up to 5 effects with complete
mixing capabilities). The unit also offers a fully digital implementation of patented
HUSH ®
noise reduction at the unit’s input, as well as ducking capabilities for the delay and
reverb effects.
The Intellipitch utilizes three individual 16-bit converters and Sigma-Delta A/D
conversion, achieving a 64x oversampling rate and better than 100dB dynamic range for
superb sonic quality.
A good understanding of how the Intellipitch operates will help make designing your
own preset sounds much easier. This manual will introduce you to the Intellipitch and its
various features and functions. Please keep it for future reference.
Intellipitch Features
• High quality pitch shifting algorithms, including:
* 2-voice intelligent pitch shifting over 2 full octaves
* 4-voice chromatic pitch shifting over 3 full octaves
* 2-voice pitch shifting offered simultaneously with HUSH
® , delay and reverb
* 2-voice reverse chromatic pitch shifting
• 8-voice chorusing with an enormous number of parameters for the richest chorus ever
• Super quiet operation through the use of high quality 16-bit converters and digital HUSH
• High purity sound due to the use of a 64X oversampling A/D converter, which samples the
signal 64 times as often as a conventional converter, and also due to the use of a separate
dual D/A converter. (Most "bargain" digital effects units use a single converter multi-
plexed 3 ways, resulting in decidedly higher distortion and lower dynamic range.)
• 24-bit processing and memory circuits to maintain maximum dynamic range
• Ability to store up to 8 unique MIDI controller patches with each preset
• Very high quality effects algorithms
• Highly stereo effects with panning available on almost all signals
• Built-in tuner
• Programming via knobs instead of push buttons
• Easy to read, wide viewing angle display
