Pitch Offset
The Pitch offset control allows you to add additional detune to the signal but will
detune the left channel down and the right channel up by the selected amount. So,
whatever the setting of the main Pitch control, the value set on the Pitch Offset will
subtract the selected amount from the pitch of the left channel and add the selected
amount to the pitch of the right channel.
This can be very useful especially for creating thick stereo detune effects. If you set
the main Pitch control to ‘0’ and set the Pitch Offset to say ‘11’, the left side will be
tuned flat by 11 cents and the right side will be tuned sharp by 11 cents. The range of
the Pitch offset control is (4) octaves (4800). So you could conceivably have the left
channel shifted down (4) octaves and the right side shifted up (4) octaves. Keep in
mind that the maximum shift is +/- 4800 cents so regardless of where the Pitch
control is set you cannot go higher or lower than this maximum range.
Splice Offset
The Splice Offset control only affects the right side signal. As you turn the knob
clockwise it starts to shorten the right side splice length by the percentage shown in
the numerical readout. A setting of .25 indicates that the right side will have a splice
length 25% shorter than the left side, a setting of .50 means that the right splice
length will be 50% or
1
⁄
2
of the left side and a setting of 1.00 indicates that the right
side will be 1/100th of the left side splice length.
With longer settings on the Splice control you can get some really interesting stereo
effects by varying the Splice offset and creating different splice lengths in the left
and right channels.
Delay Offset
The Delay Offset control works like the Splice Offset and also only affects the right
side signal. As you turn the knob clockwise it starts to shorten the right side delay
length by the percentage shown in the numerical display. A setting of .25 indicates
that the right side delay time will be 25% shorter than the left side, a setting of .50
means that the right side delay time will be 50% or
1
⁄
2
of the left side and a setting
of 1.00 indicates that the right side will be 1/100th of the left side delay time.
As with the Splice Offset, varying the Delay offset allows you to get some really cool
stereo effects by creating different delay values on the right and left channels.
