The Parameters
The PCM Native plug-ins contain presets covering a wide range of needs, but you can refine
and customize any preset by adjusting its parameters. Parameters are the building blocks within
each preset that determine how it sounds and behaves.
Each PCM Native plug-in contains a set of parameters, and a variety of those parameters are
combined to create a preset.
Following are all the algorithm parameters you can edit in the PCM Native Pitch Shift Plug-in.
Shift Type
This parameter allows you to select whether you want to adjust the pitch using Semitone and
Cent controls (Musical) or by a percentage (Percent).
Smart Shift
This parameter affects the quality of pitch shifting. When turned on, the algorithm looks for
optimal splices in the musical material. In almost all cases, this should be on. If attempting to
recreate the sound of certain inexpensive shifters from the 1980s, then this parameter should
be turned off.
Correlation
This parameter tells the algorithm if the program material needs to be processed as dual mono
or stereo. If the program material is stereo material, this should be on in order to maintain
a stable image. If the program material is dual mono (two independent tracks), then this
parameter should be set to off.
Shift Percent
Displayed when “Percent” is selected as the Shift Type. This parameter adjusts the pitch as a
percentage.
