PITCH PARAMETERS:
Buffer Size:
This control sets the loop length and splicing characteristics of the PT. Two of the four settings, Smooth-
Long and Smooth-Short, are optimized for the smoothest sound, but need a fixed amount of transport
delay. The other two settings, Smart-Long and Smart-Short, utilize a looping technique that varies the
amount of transport delay based on the Pitch setting. Short transport delays work best on percussive
material, but may sound rough at large Pitch settings or with sustained material. Use your ears to determine
which Buffer Size setting is the best for the current application.
Delay ±1ms:
Changes the predelay time in 1-millisecond steps. The total amount of predelay is 1 second (1000 ms.)
Delay ±50ms:
Changes the predelay time in 50 millisecond steps.
Effect Enabled:
In the Gated class, this control sets the audio input level that controls the gating action of the effect. Signals
that fall within this control’s setting (for example, above –10 dB) are heard and ones that are not are muted.
Whammit! class uses the DMV-PRO’s dynamics sensing to trigger a pitch-glide effect. When a signal falls
within this control’s setting, it will glide to the programmed transposition amount (at the length of time set
with the Fade Time control). The signal remains transposed until its level is no longer within this control’s
range.
Fade Time:
With the Gated class, this control sets the fade time of the effect after it has been dynamically triggered. In
the Whammit! class, Decay sets the amount of time it takes the effect to glide to and from its target pitch
after being dynamically triggered. This control follows a linear curve and its range is from 0 (short) to 31
(long).
Pitch, Pitch 1, and Pitch 2:
Sets the amount of pitch transposition with a range between 12.7 half steps up or down (±1.27 half steps in
Micro 2 Voice class). This range has an extra setting of -24 half steps to produce two-octave bass-doubling
effects. In Micro 2 Voice class, the extra setting goes to -2.4. Pitch 2 is not available in mono routings.
Regeneration:
Sets the amount of delay feedback, from 0 to 99%.
