PITCH SHIFT Function
The PITCH function is available only in configurations displaying “PSHF” in the
configuration title.
Pitch Shifting is used to change the pitch of the input signal to produce a harmony
note based on the input signal. The harmony voice may be of any fixed interval—up to
one octave above the input signal to two octaves below—and is selected in 20-cent
increments. Fine adjustment can be made in one cent (1/100th semitone) increments.
The PARAMETER SELECT control will allow you to access these PITCH SHIFT parameters:
PITCH SHIFT I/O
LEVEL
PAN
PITCH
FINE
SPEED
The PITCH SHIFT I/O parameter determines whether the Pitch Shifter
is active or bypassed for the current preset.
The LEVEL parameter determines the volume of the pitch shifted
signal. The DIR/EFF MIX parameter in the Mixer function also affects
this volume.
The PAN parameter allows you to pan the shifted signal to the left or
right channel.
The PITCH parameter selects what harmony note the Voodu Valve™
will produce based on the input note. The value displayed for this
parameter represents the number of cents that the signal will be shifted
(adjustable in 20-cent increments). Each 100 cents (or five 20-cent
steps) above or below "0" represents the number of half-steps the
shifted signal will be from the input signal.
This parameter is adjustable from "-2400" to "+1200", where "-2400" =
two octaves below the input signal, "0" = unison and "+1200" = one
octave above the input signal. Refer to the table on the following page
to determine the cent value for each fixed interval.
The FINE parameter allows for adjustment in l-cent steps for fine
adjustment of the harmony note.
The SPEED parameter determines the amount of time delay used in the
shifting process. SLOW results in the longest delay and the highest
quality shifted signal (especially at larger amounts of pitch shift). FAST
results in the least delay, but the lowest quality shifted signal. This
setting should only be used for slight amounts of pitch shift.
