Manual Flex: Sweeps the pitch from the ‘Shift’ to ‘Flex’ value. Map an expression pedal to this
parameter and adjust it to perform the sweep.
Pan: Moves the pitch shifted voice left or right in the stereo field.
Performance Parameters
FLEX (A/B) - Momentary or latching performance parameter to activate the pitch bend/dive for each
shifted voice. Current pitch shift is determined by whichever control was touched last (this or the manual
flex knob/external controller)
Flex Dual - Momentary or latching performance parameter to bend/dive both voices at the same time.
Current pitch shift is determined by whichever control was touched last (this or the manual flex knob/
external controller)
FREEZE: Freezes the pitch-shifiting sound for pad like textures. The dry signal is still passed through. Note
that if Auto Engage is On, you won’t hear the frozen signal when you are not flexing.
Polyphony
A low-latency, high quality polyphonic pitch shifter capable of so much more. Making use of Eventide’s
new SIFT (Spectral Instantaneous Frequency Tracking) technology, this algorithm shifts any chord or note
you throw at it with zero tracking errors, all while the preserving the tone of your guitar. With this
algorithm you can go from creating massive, organ-like chords and harmonies to out of this world special
effects. The input signal is sent through the polyphonic pitch shifting engine which outputs two voices of
shifted output - each with their own interval and detune controls. Included in the pitch shifting engine are
the Auto EQ filters which help preserve the tone of the input signal. These filters are automatically
adjusted based on the shifting interval to give the shifted voices as natural of a sound as possible, and the
amount of filtering applied is adjustable. These voices are then fed to individual delays with independent
time and feedback controls. The pitch shifting engine can be placed either inside or outside of this delay
feedback loop, allowing you to create unique rising or sinking chorus sounds, and crystals type effects.
Finally, the two voices can be independently panned when the output of the pedal is connected in stereo.
As a cherry on top the latching or momentary Freeze performance switch allows you to infinitely sustain
the pitch shifted sound while passing through the dry signal to create pad textures that you can play over.
Mix: Wet/dry mixer, 100% is all wet signal.
Inst Type: Tunes the underlying pitch shifting Algorithm for either pitched or percussive
instruments.
