REVERSE SHIFT Function
The Hush; Reverse Shift configuration provides two voices that can be used for a special reverse pitch shifting
effect. Reverse shifting allows for the delayed pitch sample(s) to be played back in reverse after its prescribed
delay time has expired.
Reverse Shift Parameters
PITCH The Pitch parameter determines the harmony note that the Intellipitch
will produce based on the input note. An interval is the distance in
semitones between the pitches of two musical tones (e.g., the distance
from an
A note to a C note is a minor third interval, equaling 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 five 20-cent
steps) above or below 0 represents the amount of half-steps (or
semitones) the harmony note will be above or below the input signal.
LENGTH The Length parameter determines the delay length before a sample is
played back, and also determines the length of the sample. This param-
eter is adjustable up to 500 milliseconds.
DIR The Direction parameter determines whether the delayed sample will be
played back normally ( Forward) or backward (Reverse).
REGEN The Regeneration parameter determines the number of times that the
delayed signal will be repeated.
LEVEL The Level parameter determines the volume of the current voice being
edited.
PAN This parameter allows you to pan the shifted note to the left or right
channel of the Intellipitch. It is adjustable from 0 to 100 (where 0 = full-
left, 100 = full-right and 50 = center).
TRIGGER The Trigger parameter allows you to set a predetermined level, above
which the Intellipitch will begin sampling the input signal (rather than the
continuous sampling that normally occurs).
As an example, this parameter could be set such that the transient that
is produced by the picking of a note triggers the sampling function, while
the decay of the note itself is below the threshold level and does not
generate any sampling. This technique allows for some interesting and
more controllable call-and-response interaction between the input note
and reversed harmony note while playing.
XFADE The XFade parameter determines the speed and smoothness of how
shifted notes will move from one interval to another.
