Bank 8: the Pitch Change and Doppler Programs<br />
Page Three<br />
MIDI (MIDI Pitch Event Left)<br />
MIDI Pitch Event provides a fast link between a MIDI<br />
Note Event and interval pitch shifting. By establishing<br />
a patch with NOTE EVENT as source and PITCH<br />
EVENT as destination, the amount of pitch shift can<br />
track incoming notes in semitone intervals. Pressing<br />
the KEY will tell you the curent pitch shift.<br />
REF (Reference MIDI Note Left)<br />
REF sets the MIDI Note Value for no pitch change,<br />
NULL + 0C, when under MIDI control.<br />
MIR (Pitch Mirror Left)<br />
MIR selects the direction of MIDI pitch control. When<br />
MIR is ON, pitch is shifted down for increasing note<br />
values.<br />
GLL (Glide Stereo/Left)<br />
GLL affects both channels in stereo mode, and the left<br />
channel in mono mode. It changes the pitch continuously<br />
over a range of + one octave. This allows a<br />
glissando to be performed, either manually with the<br />
LARC, or via MIDI. The full resolution of the pitch shift<br />
is not available on this control, although vernier (fine<br />
tuning) is available by pressing the button under the<br />
slider twice.<br />
SPL (Splice Length)<br />
SPL sets the amount of time the splice takes to complete.<br />
It is only active at moderate values of pitch shift.<br />
Very short splices produce less of a metallic or combing<br />
sound in the pitch shift, but can sometimes be<br />
audible as a click or a glitch. Longer splices are<br />
sometimes less obvious, but can affect the timbre of<br />
the sound. High values of pitch shift require short<br />
splices, so SPL is deactivated if the pitch shift selected<br />
is quite high. The default value of 16 gives good results<br />
in most applications.<br />
Program Descriptions<br />
1 Pitch Change<br />
This program has pitch values set to 0 and is set for<br />
stereo shift.<br />
2 Pitch Chorus<br />
Pitch Chorus is a dual mono program, which means<br />
that both the left and right channels can be set for<br />
different amounts of pitch shift. The left channel is<br />
preset for -3 cents. The right channel is preset for +6<br />
cents. This produces a medium rolling chorus effect<br />
with a lush characteristic.<br />
3 1% Up 1% Down<br />
This is another dual mono program. The pitches are set<br />
1% up and 1% down, creating a heavily processed<br />
sound. 39.27 ms and 32.69 ms of delay are used on the<br />
pitches, reinforcing the overall effect. This program is<br />
ideal for guitar and vocals.<br />
4 Barber Pole<br />
This is a true stereo program. Both sides are set for 3<br />
cents of downward pitch shift. No additional delay is<br />
used, but -41% feedback is assigned to the left and<br />
+41% is assigned to the right. This helps give the<br />
smooth, slow downward resonance characteristic of<br />
this program. Use the left/stereo Pitch slider for additional<br />
amounts of stereo pitch shifting.<br />
5 Half Steps<br />
This stereo program uses 600 ms of delay and 44%<br />
feedback on both left and right channels, routed back<br />
to a Minor 2nd downward pitch shift. This program is<br />
strictly for effects use — try changing the delay settings<br />
for even more outrageous effects.<br />
6 Stair Case<br />
This is a dual mono variation of Half Steps with shorter<br />
delays and larger intervals.<br />
Page Four<br />
The following controls work on the right channel when<br />
the pitch shifter is in mono mode.<br />
