Chapter 6: Step-By-Step
85
STEP-BY-STEP
If the numbers are “00” as in the previous screen, it means that the
instruments are tuned to concert pitch (A=440 Hz). Each whole num-
ber in coarse tuning represents a semitone interval. To tune one or
both of the instruments up an octave, move the cursor to the number
(using the cursor button) and set the number to +12 using the data
entry control. Try tuning one of the instruments to a perfect fifth
above the other. Simply set the coarse tuning to +7.
Tuning an instrument far out of its normal range will completely
change the character of the sound. For example, if you tune a bass
guitar up 2 octaves, it's going to sound rather petite. On the other
hand, if you tune it down 2 octaves, you can probably rattle plaster off
the walls! Experiment with radical pitch shifting. You'll be surprised at
the results.
CHORUS
This is an easy one. With the cursor on the top line of the display,
turn the data control until you find CHORUS. Various amounts of
chorusing can be selected for each of the primary and secondary
instruments. Chorus works by doubling the instruments, detuning
and panning them slightly. The larger the number, the more detuning
will occur.
Warning: Since it works by doubling the instruments, chorus
halves the number of notes you can play on Planet Phatt.
Chorus is useful
when you want to “fatten up” a part quickly and easily. Just turn
chorus on!

REVERSING THE INSTRUMENT
A simple concept. The instrument sounds can be played in reverse.
This will normally make an instrument sound quite a bit different. It
also virtually doubles the number of raw instruments you have to
work with, and it’s fun.
