DigiRack Plug-ins Guide56
Mix Adjusts the ratio of dry signal to effected sig-
nal in the output. In general, this control should
be set to 100% wet, unless you are using the
Pitch plug-in in-line on an Insert for an individ-
ual track or element in a mix. This control can
be adjusted over its entire range with little or no
change in output level.
Delay Sets the delay time between the original
signal and the pitch-shifted signal. It has a max-
imum setting of 125 milliseconds. You can use
the Delay control in conjunction with the Feed-
back control to generate a single pitch-shifted
echo, or a series of echoes that climb in pitch.
Feedback Controls the amount and type of feed-
back (positive or negative) applied from the out-
put of the delay portion of the Pitch plug-in
back into its input. It also controls the number
of repetitions of the delayed signal. You can use
it to produce effects that spiral up or down in
pitch, with each successive echo shifted in
pitch.
Coarse Adjusts the pitch of a signal in semitones
over a two octave range. Pitch changes are indi-
cated both in the Semitones field and in the Mu-
sical Staff section below this slider. Using the
–8va and +8va buttons in conjunction with the
Coarse slider provides a full 4-octave range of
adjustment.
–8va and +8va Buttons Clicking the –8va button
adjusts pitch down one octave from the current
setting of the coarse and fine pitch controls.
Clicking the +8va button adjusts pitch up one
octave from the current setting of the coarse and
fine pitch controls.
Relative Pitch Entry (Musical Staff)
Clicking on any note on this musical staff selects
a relative pitch transposition value that will be
applied to an audio signal. If the C above middle
C is illuminated (the staff is in treble clef), it in-
dicates that no pitch transposition has been se-
lected. If a pitch transposition is selected, the
note interval corresponding to the selected
transposition value is indicated in yellow. Alt-
clicking (Windows) or Option-clicking (Mac) on
the staff will set the coarse pitch change value to
zero.
Fine Controls the pitch of a signal in cents (hun-
dredths of a semitone) over a 100 cent range.
The range of this slider is –49 to +50 cents. Pre-
cise pitch change values are indicated in the
Fine field. The flat, natural, and sharp signs be-
low this slider indicate deviation from the near-
est semitone.
Ratio Indicates the ratio of transposition be-
tween the original pitch and the selected trans-
position value.
Crossfade Adjusts crossfade length in millisec-
onds to optimize performance of the Pitch plug-
in according to the type of audio material you
are processing. The Pitch plug-in performs pitch
transposition by replicating or subtracting por-
tions of audio material and very quickly cross-
fading between these alterations in the wave-
form of the audio material.
Crossfade length affects the amount of smooth-
ing performed on audio material to prevent au-
dio artifacts such as clicks from occurring as the
audio is looped to generate the pitch shift.
