VOICE1 DLYTEMPO, VOICE 2 DLYTEMPO
– Locks the delay time to the global tempo. For example, if
the global tempo is 120 BPM, and
TEMPO
is set to a quarter note “1/4,” then the delay time will be 500 ms. To
ignore the global tempo, set the tempo control to NONE.
Custom Scale
The Intelligent Harmonizer allows you to create a custom scale and save it with the preset. To use this feature,
set the
SCALE
parameter (above) to CUSTOM, set the number of
CUSTOM NOTES
, and set up your scales notes
in any key based on an arbitrary
TONIC
. As with other scales, the actual
KEY
setting (above) determines how
your custom scale will be transposed and compared to the note played for creating custom harmonies.
In comparison to the Custom Shifter (
, below), in which any input note of the chromatic scale can be
s/- 24 semitones, the Intelligent Harmonizer requires that your creations contain from four to eight
notes (including the tonic), and each scale degree must be at least ½ step higher than the previous.
CUSTOM NOTES
– Sets the number of notes when using a custom scale. Custom scales can have between
four and eight notes.
TONIC
– This parameter has no effect on how the scale will sound in actual use but instead serves as an aid
so you can see an example of your custom scale transposed to any arbitrary key. Change this value and other
scale degrees will automatically update. It is the
KEY
parameter (above) which actually transposes your custom
scale for use during actual performance.
NOTE 1,2,3…8
– These are the notes of your custom scale relative to the TONIC. Set these to define the
scale degrees.
Scale Formulas
Here is a set of scale formulas for those scales used in the pitch shifter’s Intelligent Harmonizer and Arpeggio
modes. If scale names look slightly different from what you’ve learned, remember this joke: “Q: How many guys
does it take to name a Jazz scale? A: Well, let’s see there’s Bird, Yardbird, Zoizeau, Charlie, Satchmo, Pops, Satchel
Mouth, Dipper Mouth, Louis… so that’s TWO right there…”
