Pitch Shifter (White) 178
 Voice Balance
Use this to balance the two harmony voices. Turn it to either extreme to isolate a voice.
 Mix
Use this to determine the balance between the detuned voices and the direct signal.
 Stereo
The “Stereo” parameter controls the stereo spread of the original signal and the two pitch-shifter voices in an
intelligent, but obvious manner.
If you only use one pitch-shifter voice, and the other voice is muted by turning “Voice Balance” fully left or right, the
pitch-shifter voice is panned to one stereo channel, while the original signal is panned opposite. However, if both
pitch-shifter voices are dialed in by setting “Voice Balance” to the middle position, the pitch-shifter voices are panned
to opposite channels, while the original signal stays in the middle of the stereo panorama.
In other words: the “Stereo” parameter will pan the position of the pitch shifter voices in opposite directions, and
balance the position of the original signal, depending on the setting of the “Voice Balance” control. The results are
likely to be what you would have chosen if there were separate panorama controls for all three signals.
With “Stereo” set fully left or right, you get a full panoramic spread of the signals. However, at middle position the
signals are not spread, so the effects output is mono. Be aware that, in general, the “Stereo” parameter is not
available in the effect modules A, B. C, and D, as every effect is considered to be mono.
 Formant Shift
Press the soft button labeled “Formant Shift” to activate the formant processing. “Formant Shift” will become
available to a soft knob, allowing deep control over the formants of both pitch-shifter voices. In the middle position
the formants are not processed, or compensated, whatsoever. Everything sounds like a regular pitch shifter with
“Formant Shift” disabled. As you turn the soft knob more to the left, the formants move towards the original level - the
