Pitch Shifter (White) 173

 Pure Tuning
When you press “Pure Tuning”, intervals produced by the pitch shifter will be slightly detuned from the standard
tempered scale to create a so-called “natural” or “pure” tuning. This will avoid harmonic beating, especially when
distorted afterwards. Read more at the end of this chapter on Background of Pure Tuning.
 Detune
Use this to control the pitch deviation between the left and right channels.
 Mix
Use this to blend the direct signal with the detuned signals. Set it to middle position for the lushest sound. With Mix
turned all the way to the right, you will only hear the detuned signals on the left and right - this creates a spacial
chorus, similar in sound to the Air Chorus.
If you need an even fatter sound, without noticeable LFO modulation, we recommend using the Hyper Chorus, with
“Amount” set to a higher value.
Transpose
Think of this as a “digital capo” for your instrument. Simply set Transpose as desired to play in a different key. Set it
to -1 or -2 for drop tunings. Transposing by -12 will turn your guitar into a bass. The same effect is also available in
the Rig Settings.
