PITCH SHIFT (Pitch Shifter)
This effect changes the pitch of the original sound (up or down)
within a range of two octaves.
*1 With VOICE set to 2MONO or 2ST, you can select two sounds.
HARMONIST
Harmonist is an effect where the amount of shifting is adjusted
according to an analysis of the guitar input, allowing you to create
harmonics based on diatonic scales.
* Because of the need to analyze the pitch, chords (two or more sounds
played simultaneously) cannot be played.
* You cannot use the Harmonist effect with audio input via USB IN.

Explanation
VOICE
Selects the number of voices for the pitch shift sound.
1VOICE One-voice pitch-shifted sound output in
monaural.
2MONO Two-voice pitch-shifted sound (PS1, PS2)
output in monaural.
2ST (2Stereo) Two-voice pitch-shifted sound (PS1, PS2)
output through left and right channels.
LEVEL1, LEVEL2 *1
0–100 Adjusts the volume of the pitch shift sound
DIRECT LEVEL
0–100 Adjusts the volume of the direct sound.
PITCH SHIFT1, PITCH SHIFT2
MODE1, MODE2 *1
Selection for the pitch shifter mode.
FAST, MEDIUM,
SLOW A chord can be input with a normal pitch
shifter. The response is slower in the order
of FAST, MEDIUM and SLOW, but the
modulation is lessened in the same order.
MONO MONO is used for inputting single notes.
* You may be unable to produce the intended
effect when playing chords (two or more
notes played simultaneously).
PITCH 1, PITCH2 *1
-24–+24 Adjusts the amount of pitch shift (the
amount of interval) in semitone steps.
FINE1, FINE2 *1
-50–+50 Make fine adjustments to the interval.
The amount of the change in the Fine 100 is
equivalent to that of the Pitch 1.
PRE DELAY1, PRE DELAY2 *1
0 ms –300 ms,
BPM –BPM
Adjusts the time from when the direct
sound is heard until the pitch shifted sounds
are inputted. Normally you can leave this
set at 0ms.
When set to BPM, the value of each parameter will be set according
to the value of the BPM (p. 163) specified for each patch. This makes
it easier to achieve effect sound settings that match the tempo of the
song.
* If, due to the tempo, the time is longer than the range of allowable
settings, it is then synchronized to a period either 1/2 or 1/4 of that
time.
FEEDBACK1
0–100 Adjusts the feedback amount of the pitch
shift sound.

Explanation
KEY
C (Am)–B (G#m) Specify the key of the song you are playing.
By specifying the key, you can create har-
monies that fit the key of the song.
This KEY parameter is the same as the
Key setting in the [NAME/KEY/BPM]
section (p. 163) and FX MOD1, 2
HARMONIST. Altering either one
changes the key.
The key setting corresponds to the key of the song (#, b ) as follows.

output through left and right channels.
FEEDBACK1
0–100 Adjusts the feedback amount of the har-
monist sound.
DIRECT LEVEL
