Section 6: Detailed Parameter Descriptions
PITCH | Pitch Shift
The pitch shift mode offers fixed pitch shifting by semitone
and cents. MIDI control is also supported for re-pitching
melody lines or creating a harmony part.
Coarse / Fine Shift
The Coarse Parameter shifts the pitch up or down with a
range of +/- 48 semitones. The Fine Parameter shifts the
pitch, relative to the Coarse Parameter, by +/- 99 cents.
The distance between semitones is 100 cents.
Portamento
When MIDI notes are used to control the pitch shift,
Portamento sets the time in milliseconds to reach a MIDI
note.
MIDI Latch
When enabled, the last MIDI note sent to the pitch shift is
used until a new note is received. This allows robot voices
to be created by triggering the note of the desired
monotone voice with MIDI Latch on.
MIDI Smoothing
Sets how much of the input pitch nuance is applied to the
pitch shifted voice.
PITCH | Pitch Freestyle
Pitch Freestyle is ideal for creatively shifting pitch in non-
musical applications like dialog.
Shift Delta / Sensitivity
The Shift Delta and Sensitivity Parameters work together.
Sensitivity sets the shift amount in cents for each Delta
value. If Sensitivity is set to 20 cents, then each click of the
Delta Parameter will shift the pitch up or down by 20 cents.
For subtle changes of a performance, set the sensitivity
below 25 cents. For more extreme effects try values above
50 cents.
Reset Trigger / Shift
The Reset Parameters allow pitch of the input to be reset
to a set value. The Reset Shift Parameter sets the pitch in
semitones where the input voice will be shifted when the
Reset Trigger Parameter is turned. A single click on the
Reset Trigger Parameter triggers the reset shift.
Smooth
The Smooth Parameter is useful when the sensitivity is
higher. When smooth is set to lower values, stepping can
be heard as the voice goes from one pitch to another.
When set at higher values, the shifting is smoothed out.
