Vibrato Controls

Knob 1: Speed

Controls the modulation rate of Vibrato.

Knob 2: Depth

Controls the maximum amount of pitch

shift. Lower settings result in a mere “war-

ble,” while higher settings produce a more

exaggerated “wow” sound.

Knob 3: Phase

This control sets left and right channel

waveforms out of phase, resulting in a left-

to-right panning motion.

This effect shifts the frequency spectrum of

the input signal. Altering the pitch of a

sound produces a wide range effects -

from subtle detunes to full interval shifts up

or down a two octave range. The MX200’s

Pitch Shift effect is a chromatic shifter,

meaning all notes of the scale are shifted

by the same interval. Pitch Shift is very

useful with guitar tracks, monophonic synth

lines, or where special vocal effects are

needed.

Pitch Shift Controls

Knob 1: Shift Amount

Determines the amount of pitch shifting.

Range is 0-24 semitones (2 octaves).

Knob 2: Down/Up Shift

Determines whether the pitch shifting is up

or down from the original signal.

Knob 3: Cutoff Frequency

This controls the cutoff frequency of the

low pass filter. Lower settings roll off high

frequency response.

Detune adds a slightly pitch-shifted version

of the original source, thickening the

sound. This creates a particularly effective

simulation of “double-tracking.” This effect

is also a great alternative to the Chorus

effect, adding the richness of a chorus

without the audible sweep caused by the

chorus rate.

Detune Controls

Knob 1: Left Shift Amount

Determines the detune amount of the Left

input, from -24 cents to +24 cents.

Knob 2: Right Shift Amount

Determines the detune amount of the

Right input, from -24 cents to +24 cents.

Knob 3: Stereo Spread

Higher values increase the perceived dis-

tance of the detuned voices in the stereo

field.
