PITCH SHIFT
Pitch Shifting is used to change the pitch of the input signal to produce one to four harmony notes based on a
single input signal. The Hush; Pitch Shift; Delay configuration offers 4 harmony voices while the Hush; Pitch Shift;
Delay; Reverb configuration offers 2. Each harmony voice may be of any fixed interval - from to one octave above
the input signal to two octaves below - and is selected in 20 cent increments. Increments of one cent (1/100th of a
semitone) are also available for fine adjustment via the Fine parameter.
PITCH SHIFT PARAMETERS
Pitch
The Pitch parameter determines the harmony note the Intellifex LTD will
produce based on the input note. An interval is the distance in semitones
between the pitches of two musical tones (i.e. the distance from an A note to a
C note is considered a minor third interval, this equals 3 half-steps or 300
cents). The Pitch parameter is adjustable in 20 cent increments and any
interval may be selected from one octave above to two octaves below the
input signal. This parameter is adjustable from -2400 to +1200 - where -2400
= 2 octaves below the input signal, 0 = unison and +1200 = one octave above
the input signal. Each 100 cents (or 5 - 20 cent steps) above or below 0 repre-
sents the amount of half-steps (or semitones) the harmony note will be above
or below the input signal.
Fine
The Fine parameter allows for fine adjustment of pitch change in 1 cent steps
(or 1/100th of a semitone) for finer adjustment of the harmony note.
Level
The Level parameter determines the volume of each voice relative to the other
voices of the effect. (This is not the same as the Pitch Shift Level parameter
found in the Mixer Function parameter list.)
Pan
This parameter allows you to pan the shifted note to the left or right channel of
the Intellifex LTD. It is adjustable from 0 to 100, where 0 = full left, 100 = full
right and 50 = center.
Delay
This parameter allows for the shifted signal to be delayed up to 418mS follow-
ing the input signal. It is adjustable from 0 to 418mS in 2mS increments.
