Pitch Shifter (White) 177
formants are fully compensated, and the timbre of the pitch-shifted voices will be like the original tone. It will sound
as though you are hitting the same string on the same instruments, just on a different fret.
When you move the “Formant Shift” soft knob from the middle position more to the right, the formants will be shifted
upwards, to give the pitch-shifted voices a pronounced timbre and character of your choice.
Please be aware, when “Formant Shift” is active, the effect only works with single notes. Chords will sound odd in
most cases.
Harmonic Pitch
This effect is a dual-voice pitch shifter that can be used to create up to two intelligent harmony voices. It detects the
pitch of the note being played and creates a harmony voice according to the key and scale that is selected. By
nature, this only works when you play single notes.
 Voice 1/2 Interval
Use this to determine the interval offset of the two voices. The tonality of the intervals (major/minor) will be
determined on-the-fly, depending on the tones you play, and the selected Key. If you feel that you need a more
specialized scale than the regular modes, then select “User Scale” 1 or 2 in the desired octave. You will find these
settings when you turn “Voice 1/2 Interval” far to the right. You can then define your scales in the next display pages.
 Key
Use this to select the tonic, or key, of the scale. The major and relative minor tonics are both displayed. However,
you can also realize other modes, such as Dorian or Mixolydian, by dialing the respective key. The major key also
represents the tonic for the user scales.
