Safety Instructions

sets themselves may be loaded into either type of machine, with the appro-

priate number of voices appearing. Every effort is made to make the factory

presets sound alike in both formats, but it is possible to may presets that

work very differently, based on machine type.

PITCH SHIFT - STANDARD VSO

This simple pitch shifter provides high-quality shifting by semitones and

cents. In stereo or surround, this is the best choice for full music mixes or for

any multichannel submixes. Shifting on all channels is linked, so that the

resultant soundstage remains stable.

PITCH SHIFT - MULTI MONO VSO

This shifter shifts all channels independently, making no effort to maintain

multichannel coherence. It is intended for multichannel material in which

the channels do not share material. It may be used in 4, 5, and 6-channel

machines.

PITCH SHIFT - POST VSO

This shifter shifts stereo groups independently, keeping channels within the

groups coherent, but making no effort to maintain coherence between stereo

groups. It is of most value in audio post, where L/R, LS/RS are perceived as

stereo pairs. Center and LFE are uncorrelated.

In this algorithm, center and LFE channels (if present) are treated inde-

pendently. The lowest frequency parameter does not affect shifting in these

channels.

SIGNAL GENERATOR

This algorithm is used to generate test signals. These signals may be used

both for building presets and for testing aspects of recording studio function-

ality. The sweep tone generator is good both for locating bad speaker drivers

and for scaring your cat.
