Pitch
Control/Readout
This block of controls is associated primarily with manual/re-
mote control of the output pitch ratio vs. the input signal.
PITCH RATIO
— indicated on a 4-digit display showing the nu-
merical pitch ratio between input and output. Note that,
just as in the original unit, when the knob is set between
two values, the display will ”jitter” between the two. This
is visual jitter only, and does not affect the audio.
MANUAL
— adjusts the pitch ratio from 2 octaves down to 1
octave up, and also determines the rate of delay change
in
Flange
and
Random
modes.
REMOTE
— This switch allows remote control via MIDI. In
Man-
ual
mode, the manual knob controls the Pitch Ratio.
When
MIDI
is selected, the pitch ratio will be determined
by receipt of MIDI Note On and Pitch Bend messages.
(For more information, see: “Working with the Harmonizer®”.)
Function Select
The Function Select button and the 4 switches to its right allow
you to select the basic operating modes of the H949. When
pressed IN, the 4 switches function as labeled in red below each
switch. When the Function button is OUT, the switches function
as labeled in green above the switches. LEDs indicate which
switch is selected and show (by lighting red or green) which
function is active. The functions controlled by these switches
fall into two major groups: Pitch Change effects (activated when
the Function button is IN) and Delay/Reversal effects (activated
when the Function button is OUT). The effect in
Reverse
and
Extend
modes is most apparent with large delay times.
PITCH CHANGE FUNCTIONS
(Function button IN, red labels apply)
NORM
– normal pitch change mode. Adjusting the Manual
knob over its full range gives pitch ratios from
0.250
(2 oc-
taves down) to
2.000
(1 octave up).
