916 Poly Pitcher
Creates pitch from pitched or non-pitched signal—twice.
PAUs: 2
Poly Pitcher is closely based on Pitcher, and most of the features of Poly Pitcher are covered in the section
on Pitcher. Poly Pitcher is really just a pair of Pitcher algorithms (A and B) using the same inputs and
summing to the same outputs. There is one set of weight parameters (Odd Wts, Pair Wts, Quartr Wts, and
Half Wts), which are applied to both pitcher sections. However, the actual pitch settings for the two
pitchers can be set independently. You can also set the relative level of the two pitchers with the A/B Mix
parameter. One last difference from Pitcher is that there are separate pitch offset parameters for left and
right channels for both pitchers. With separate left/right controls for the pitch offset, you can produce a
greater sense of stereo separation.

Wet/Dry The relative amount of input signal and effected signal that is to appear in the final effect
output mix. When set to 0%, the output is taken only from the input (dry). When set to
100%, the output is all wet.
Out Gain The overall gain or amplitude at the output of the effect.
A/B Mix The relative amount of pitcher A and pitcher B to mix to the final output. At 0%, only
pitcher A can be heard at the output, and at 100%, you can hear only pitcher B.
50% produces equal amounts of both.

These parameters control the exact shape of the frequency response of Poly Pitcher. An
exact description of what each one does is, unfortunately, impossible, since there is a
great deal of interaction between them. For examples, examine the figures in the section
on Pitcher.
