Ringshifter
The Ringshifter eect plug-in lets you combine a ring modulator with a frequency
shifter eect. Both eects were popular during the 1970s and are being used in new
ways by today’s musicians.
The ring modulator modulates the amplitude of the input signal, using either the
internal oscillator or a side chain signal. It produces a metallic or clangorous sound
quality. The ring modulator was used extensively on jazz rock and fusion records in
the early ‘70s.
The frequency shifter alters the frequency relationship of the original harmonics.
It produces sounds ranging from sweet and spacious phasing eects to strange
robotic timbres.
Pitch Correction
The Pitch Correction plug-in allows you to correct the pitch of audio tracks. The
plug-in accelerates and slows down the playback speed so that the input signal
always matches the correct note pitch. You can use any scale to dene a pitch
quantization grid.
You can also use Pitch Correction to create special eects—a particularly interesting
approach with drum tracks.
