Intelligent Pitch Shifter
The Intelligent Pitch Shifter is a 2-voice pitch
shifter that allows you to play harmonies within
a variety of scales in any key. The range of the
voices range from minus 13 scale steps below
to 13 scale steps above, which equals ± one
octave plus a diatonic sixth.
Key
To allow the intelligent pitch shifter to generate
the correct voices, you must specify which key
you are playing in. Keys are listed as: C, C#, D
, D#, E, F, F#, G, G#, A, A#, and B.
Scale
With the scale parameter, you set the type of
scale you intend to play. The Intelligent Pitch
Shifter covers the following scale types:

Voice 1 / Voice 2
Range: -13 to Unison to 13
The Intelligent Pitch Shifter can add two voices
within the selected scale. It automatically
calculates the correct interval according to the
played note, selected scale type and key.
Level 1 / Level 2
Range: -100 to 0 dB
Defines the individual levels of the two voices.
Pan Position 1 / Pan Position 2
Range: -50 to +50
Controls the panning position of each of the two
voices. “0” represents the center position. By
panning the voices, you can achieve a very
widespread sound.
Delay 1 / Delay 2
Delay range: 0 to 50 ms
One of the interesting aspects of a Pitch Shifter
is that the pitched voices can sound as if one or
two other guitarists were playing along with
you. But obviously, even two very good
musicians would not play all notes at exactly
the same time. So to achieve a rich, natural
sound, you can slightly delay the harmony
voices. Just 10 to 20 ms of delay will produce a
smooth effect.
Mix
Range: 0 to 100 %
This parameter sets the relationship between
the level of the dry signal and the level of the
effect in this block.
OutLev – Out Level
Range: -100 to 0 dB
This parameter sets the overall output level for
this effect.
