E. PITCH CHANGE SECTION
Pitch Change effects involve splitting the input signal into at least two separate signals, then modifying the pitch of one
signal and mixing it back together with the unaltered direct signal. The Intellifex Online offers two types of pitch change
effects: Chorus and Pitch Shift.
CHORUS
The Chorus effect is achieved by using one or more delayed signals, detuning these
delayed signals (slightly changing their pitch) then
modulating this detune effect so that the
amount of pitch detune is constantly varying. Using many delayed signals at different delay
lengths - as well as using different detune amounts, modulation rates and modulation depths
for each delayed signal—results in a rich, spacious stereo chorused signal.
CHORUS PARAMETERS
Level (Individual Voices)
This parameter adjusts the volume of the delayed signal relative to the other
voice(s) of the effect and is included in the parameter list for each voice (or
each delay signal) of both the 8-Voice and 4-Voice Chorus effects. (This
level control is not the same as the Chorus Level found in the Mixer function
parameter list.)
Pan
The
Pan parameter allows you to pan each voice (or delay) of the chorused
signal to the left or right channel. This parameter is adjustable from 0 to
100—where 0 is full left, 100 is full right and 50 is center.
Delay
The
Delay parameter determines the delay time (in milliseconds) for each
tap of the chorus signal. It is this delayed signal that is detuned and
modulated to produce the chorus effect. Using shorter delay times for this
effect produces a tighter sounding chorused signal, while using longer delay
times will achieve a much larger, ambient effect.
Depth
The
Depth parameter adjusts the amount of modulation of each delayed
signal. A lower depth setting will produce a more subtle detune effect while
a higher setting of this control will cause a more drastic detuning of the
delayed signal.
Rate
The
Rate parameter determines the sweep speed for the delayed signal
(i.e. the speed at which the delayed signal is modulated). Here a low rate
results in a slow speed and a higher rate results in a faster speed.
