As a side note, several of these effects are in their second generation of development since the
original release of the GSP-2101 (i.e. they have been improved). The smooth pitch shifter and
smooth whammy both offer improved tracking capabilities, while the intelligent pitch shifter
incorporates new pitch recognition technology.
Parameters are as follows:
Pitch Shifters
Effect On / Off
: Turns the Module on or off. When the Module is turned off, its
Parameters are not displayed, and signal will not continue to pass through the module.
To see the Parameters, you must turn the Module on.
Pitch Level
: Controls the overall level of the pitch shift. Variable from 0 to 100.
Predelay Time
: Sets the amount of time before the pitch shifted note is heard. When
used with low values, PITCH PREDELAY can be used to widen mono images. Variable
from 0 to 100 milliseconds.
Key (Harmony Only)
: Allows you to set the musical key for harmonies. If the song you
are playing is in G Major, you would select G for the scale.
Scale (Harmony Only)
: Sets the scale type for the harmony you want to hear. Scale
types include: Major, MInor, Harmonic Minor, Melodic Minor, Dorian, Mixolydian,
Lydian, Major Pentatonic, Minor Pentatonic, and Blues.
Interval (Harmony Only)
: Sets the basic interval of the harmony. You can choose
from one of several intervals (2nd, 3rd, 4th...Oct...etc). See Page 90 for Interval
Chart.
Detune (Cents)
: Determines the amount of detuning applied to the shifted note.
Variable in cents, from -99 to +99.
Pitch Shift (Tones)
: Sets the interval between the original note and the pitch shifted
note. Variable in semitone steps from -24 to +24 (4 octaves).
Tracking (Tones)
: Controls the sound quality/tracking speed of the pitch shifted materi-
al. This control should be set according to the amount of pitch shifting being performed.
That is, as the pitch shift interval increases, TRACKING should also be increased to
optimize sound quality. Each value setting of this Parameter is optimized for specific
ranges of pitch shifting. For instance, if the value displayed reads 6-10, it means that the
setting of PITCH SHIFT should be 6 to 10 steps from the original note for best sound
quality. Variable form 0-1 to 12-24.
Regeneration
: Controls the amount of pitch shifted material that is fed back to the
input of the pitch shifter. High regeneration settings produce interesting unnatural
sounds. Varies from -99% to +99%. This Parameter can also be turned off.
