Midas HD96-24-CC-TP - Pitch Shifter

177 HD96-24-CC-TP User Manual
Pitch Shifter
The stereo pitch shifting eect is often used in two dierent ways. One is to set the Mix knob lower and only use the Cent knob to make a small o set in pitch between
the wet and dry sounds. This results in a “voice doubling” eect that thickens the overall sound in a subtler way. The extreme use of the eect is to turn the Mix knob
fully clockwise, so the entire signal is aected. This way, the signal can be shifted into other keys up to an octave above or below the original. When used on a voice,
this results in a chipmunk sound or a low Darth Vader eect. When the Semi and Cent controls are set at 12 o’clock, the pitch is not altered. Making adjustments by
semitone will have a very pronounced eect, whereas changes to the Cent knob will be very minor. The Delay control creates a time dierence between the wet and
dry sound. The HI CUT controls allow the eected signal to be band-limited. The Dual Pitch eect allows the left and right channels to be adjusted independently and
allows panning of the two channels. The Mode button switches between Modern or Vintage options. Vintage mode adds a feedback control which allows shimmer
style pitchshifting as the signal is sent back into the eect. As you turn the control CCW more signal is sent back through.
Item Control Function
1 Semi control Adjusts the pitch shifting amount in whole tones. Range is from -12 to +12, with 0 at centre.
2 Cent control
Cent tunes the pitch shifting in 1% increments of a whole tone. Range is from -100 to +100, with 0
at top dead centre.
3 Delay control Sets the delay time before the pitch shift. Range is from 1 ms to 2 s.
4 Feedback control Sets the amount of feedback (output fed back to input) in %. Range is from 0 to 100%
5 Pan control Adjusts the position of the individual channel signal in the unit's stereo output.
6 HF Cut control Adjusts the HF attenuation of delay repeats. Range is from 2k to 20k.
7 Mode - switch Toggle between Modern or Vintage mode.
8 MIX control knob Controls the balance between dry signal and eect. Range is from 0% to 100%, with 50 at centre.
9 Input and Output meters Shows the input/output signal levels on dual 14-segment meters.
10 Bypass button Switches pitch shifter eect on/o.
11 Feedback control (Vintage mode only) Repeats the pitch shifted eect to add a shimmer type sound.
