Soundtoys MicroShift - Manual (Page 2)

DETUNE:
DETUNE increases or decreases the
amount of micro pitch-shifting that is
happening with any particular style.
Because the pitch shifting for each
style is continually time varying, this
control is in units of percent. At 50%,
the amount of detuning is halved. At 200%,
the amount of detuning is doubled.
DELAY:
DELAY increases or decreases the amount
of delay that is happening with any
particular style. Because the delay for
each style is continually time varying, this
control is in units of percent. At 50%, the
amount of delay is halved. At 200%, the
amount of delay is doubled.
STYLE I:
Modeled on preset #231 from the
H3000. We’ve pretty closely matched
the delay and pitch variation (which
isn’t exactly what the front panel
says), and even emulated the sound of
the analog saturation.
STYLE II:
Modeled on preset #519 from the
H3000, which was based on a different
pitch shifting algorithm, and has a
slightly different sound due to different
amounts of delay variation and a
different frequency response.
STYLE III:
Modeled on a favorite setting from the
AMS* DMX 15-80. This style has much
wider delay variation, different
saturation characteristics, and a
different, harder, ‘de-glitching’ circuit.
MIX:
For the clearest, widest sound, 100
percent wet is the way to go. To get a
thicker more ‘chorused’ sound, you can
use this control to blend some of the
original unprocessed signal with the
pitch shifted and delayed effect.
FOCUS:
The FOCUS knob controls the crossover
point of a 2-band crossover flter,
applying the effected signal only to the
high band. While very source dependent,
it's useful for widening mid and high
frequency content without making the low
end sound loose or “muddy”. It defaults to
20 Hz, but can go all the way up to 10 kHz.
