PITCH SHIFT Function
The PITCH SHIFT function is available only in configurations displaying "PSH" in the configura-
tion title.
Pitch Shifting is used to change the pitch of the input signal to produce a harmony note based
on the input signal. The harmony voice may be of any fixed interval—up to one octave above the
input signal to two octaves below—and is selected in 20-cent increments. Fine adjustment can be
made in one cent (1/ 100th semitone) increments.
The PARAMETER SELECT knob will allow you to access these PITCH SHlFT parameters:
The PITCH SHIFT IN/OUT parameter determines whether the Pitch Shifter
is active or bypassed for the current preset.
The LEVEL parameter determines the volume of the pitch shifted signal.
The DIR/EFF MIX parameter in the Mixer function also affects this volume.
The PAN parameter allows you to pan the shifted signal to the left or right
channel.
The PITCH parameter selects what harmony note the UTOPIA G100 will
produce based on the input note. The value displayed for this parameter
represents the number of cents that the signal will be shifted (adjustable in
20-cent increments). Each 100 cents (or five 20-cent steps) above or below
"0" represents the number of half-steps the shifted signal will be from the
input signal.
This parameter is adjustable from "-2400" to "+1200", where "-2400" = two
octaves below the input signal, "0" = unison and "+1200' = one octave
above the input signal. Refer to the table below to determine the cent value
for each fixed interval.
The FINE parameter allows for adjustment in 1-cent steps for fine
adjustment of the harmony note.
The SPEED parameter determines the amount of time delay used in the
shifting process. SLOW results in the longest delay and the highest quality
shifted signal (especially at larger amounts of pitch shift), FAST results in the
least delay, but the lowest quality shifted signal. This setting should only be
used for slight amounts of pitch shift.
