7-3-1-1 Octave

Change the octave of the input signal +/- 3 octaves.

7-3-1-2 Gender

Gender alters the input signal to emphasize more male (lower values) or female (higher values) sounding
formants. The default level is 64.

7-3-1-3 Mode

The Mode switch enables/disables the pitch correcting functions and can be set to Constant Pitch, Pitch Correc-
tion or Off.
Set to "Off", no pitch correction is applied.
Set to "Constant Pitch", the input signal is forced to play a single fixed pitch as designated by the Smooth/Pitch
dial. Note, when engaged, the Octave setting is inactive.
Set to "Pitch Correction", the input signal's pitch is auto-corrected to try and match the absolute pitch.

7-3-1-4 Chromatic Scale

When the Mode is set to Pitch Correction, setting Chromatic Scale "On" attempts to quantize all pitches to the
chromatic scale.

7-3-1-5 Smooth/Pitch

The Smooth/Pitch dial serves a dual purpose.
When the Mode is set to Pitch Correction, the dial acts to smooth the transition between the source and corrected
pitches. Higher values create slower/smoother transitions compared to lower values which are faster/tighter.
When the Mode is set to Constant Pitch, the dial designates the fixed pitch that will be output regardless of the
tuning of the input signal. The parameter value equates to the MIDI note # (Ex 60=C4 (middle C).

7-3-1-6 Vib.Style

The Vibrato Style parameter allows you to select from 10 different shapes of vibrato (0-9).
7-3-1-7 Vib. Rate
Vibrato Rate sets the speed (rate) of vibrato. Higher values generate a faster vibrato. A value of zero (0) effectively
disables the vibrato effect altogether.
7-3-1-8 Vib. Depth
Vibrato Depth sets the range of pitch change. Higher values generate a deeper vibrato. A value of zero (0) effec-
tively disables the vibrato effect altogether.
7-3-1-9 Vib. Delay
Vibrato Delay determines how long after a note begins that the vibrato effect will engage. By delaying the onset of
the effect you can create more natural sounding vibratos. Higher values generate longer delay times.
