Soundtoys MicroShift User Manual
Installation
This plug-in brings us right back to our
days working at Eventide.* When we
were asked to create a stereo
harmonizer, we went a little crazy, and
created the H3000 multi-effects
processor, with dozens of effects
algorithms and hundreds of presets.
As cool as all that was, the thing is,
almost every time we walked up to a
rack with an H3000 in it, it was almost
always set up for tiny pitch shifts
(hence the name, microshift) to thicken
background vocals or other
instruments. Dial in a few cents up on
the left, and a few down on the right,
add a dash of delay, and voila, instant
fat stereo sound!

Even a couple of decades or so later, it’s
still a great trick, and is a big reason
why those old pitch shifters are still in
demand.
MicroShift expands upon its little brother
(Little MicroShift) by allowing you to dial
in the exact amount of DETUNE and
DELAY, and adds a unique multi-band
FOCUS control so you can apply the effect
only to higher frequencies, leaving your
low end tight and untouched.
