Voicings (Pitch-shifted Repeats)
One of the most exciting features of the TimeBender
TM
is its ability to change the pitch
of the delayed signals. When the voicing is set to Unison (
U
), the delayed signal has
the same pitch as the guitar input, just like with traditional delay pedals. But with the
TimeBender, you can change the delays’ pitch to one or two “voicings” that relate to
the original note.
There are three main types of voicings: scalic, triad-centered, and fixed shift (chromat-
ic). These are described in the tables below, but you may find it easier to experiment
with the TimeBender itself by trying different voicings (turn the Voicing knob) while
you play. Note that scalic and triad-centered voicings sound best when you play in the
key the TimeBender is set to (see page 12 for more on setting the key by strumming).
