PITCH SHIFT Function
Pitch Shifting is used to change the pitch of the input signal to produce a harmony note based on the input signal. The
harmony voice may be of any fixed interval—up to one octave above the input signal or up to two octaves below—and is
selected in 20-cent increments. Fine adjustment can be made in one cent (1/100th semitone) increments.
The P
ARAMETER
S
ELECT
control will allow you to access the following PITCH SHIFT parameters:
Parameter
Description
PITCH SHIFT
The PITCH SHIFT I/O parameter determines whether the Pitch Shifter is active or bypassed
I/O
for the current preset.
LEVEL
The LEVEL parameter determines the volume of the pitch shifted signal. The DIR/EFF MIX
parameter in the Mixer function also affects this volume.
PAN
The PAN parameter allows you to pan the shifted signal to the left or right channel.
PITCH
The PITCH parameter selects what harmony note the Taboo Twin will produce based on the
input note. The value displayed for this parameter represents the number of cents that the
signal will be shifted (adjustable in 20-cent increments). Each 100 cents (or five 20-cent steps)
above or below "0" represents the number of half-steps the shifted signal will be from the input
signal.
This parameter is adjustable from "-2400" to "+1200", where "-2400" = two octaves below the
input signal, "0" = unison and "+1200" = one octave above the input signal. Refer to the table
on the following page to determine the cent value for each fixed interval.
FINE
The FINE parameter allows for adjustment in l-cent steps for fine adjustment of the harmony
note.
SPEED
The SPEED parameter determines the amount of time delay used in the shifting process. SLOW
results in the longest delay and the highest quality shifted signal (especially at larger amounts
of pitch shift). FAST results in the least delay, but the lowest quality shifted signal. This setting
should only be used for slight amounts of pitch shift.
