LVL OUT sets the level of this control signal.
12.5.3 Pitch Tracker:
This module extracts the pitch of the input signal. The resulting pitch signal can then be applied to the
oscillators, but it can also be used to modulate any other modules, via the connection matrix.
QUALITY: This knob sets the smoothing of the pitch tracking. Turned to the left, the smoothing is minimal and
the modulation is almost unpredictable, whereas when turned to the right, the smoothing is maximal, and the
modulation is very slow. When applied to oscillators, it creates a glide effect.
SNAP: This switch activates the tune option of the pitch tracker: the pitch will be tuned to scale notes.
ZERO: This double-knob shifts the pitch. It allows you to change the pitch of all the modules that use the pitch
tracker signal. The inner ring of the knob adjusts the shift in semi-tones, while the external ring adjusts it in
octaves.
LOW FREQ: This knob sets the lowest frequency of the pitch tracker. It sets the lowest note that the pitch
tracker can handle.
HIGH FREQ: This knob sets the highest frequency of the pitch tracker. It sets the highest note that the pitch
tracker can handle.
The settings of the pitch tracker’s frequency range must be adjusted according to the input signal. It affects the
pitch tracker’s tessitura (the range from lowest to highest note expected) and tracking responsiveness. The
broader the tessitura, the less precise the detection will be.
Adjust these two settings according to your input signal. As you adjust them, you can see the notes
corresponding to the lowest and highest frequencies.
LVL OUT: Sets the level of this control signal.
12.5.4 Input Gate:
This module is applied to the two effect inputs, when the XILS 4 is used as an effect processor.
