UTO ANNER
The auto panner is really just a dual version of a tremolo. It changes the amplitude of the left signal just as a tremolo
does, but the amplitude of the right signal is inverse to that of the left signal.This gives the illusion that the signal is
moving back and forth between the left and right speakers.
The Auto Panner's Speed typically doesn't get set as fast as the Tremolo since you usually want a sound to move
smoothly back and forth in the stereo image.The 2112 auto panner is especially flexible since it can be used for
either mono or stereo input sources.When used with a mono source, the signal pans back and forth as described
earlier.When a stereo sound source is used, the original stereo image is maintained by moving the volume of the left
signal exactly opposite of the right signal.The stereo image fades back and forth between the stereo extremes.
WHEN DO I USE AN AUTO PANNER? The auto panner can be a very creative tool.When running your
guitar rig in a stereo set-up with the right amount of cabinet separation, the Auto-Panner creates a stereo pan-
ning effect that is right out of this world.
Auto panners can also add life to delays or choruses by moving them around instead of just sitting in one place in
the mix. Simply place an auto panner module after a delay or chorus module.You don't need to set the auto pan-
ner's depth parameter too deep since you just want some gentle movement.

ITCH HIFTERS
The pitch shifter allows you to move sound from one pitch to another. It accomplishes this by recording a small part
of the original sound and then playing it back either faster (to raise the pitch) or slower (to lower the pitch). It does
this over and over again to create a new pitch
WHEN DO I USE PITCH SHIFTING? Guitarists are probably the most well known users of pitch shifters.
They commonly pitch shift their sound down by an octave to get a deep rumble out of their distortion, or shift it
an octave up to emulate a 12 string guitar.
Both guitar and synth players have created some amazing textures by pitch shifting their sound up a fifth (7 semi-
tones).This creates more complex chords out of simple ones (e.g. a basic Cmaj chord sounds like a Cmaj9 chord,
or Cmin7 becomes a Cmin11 chord).

Controls the signal input level fed to the Module. Ranges from Off to 100%.
Controls the Low Frequency Oscillator (LFO) speed of the effect. Ranges from 0.06 to
16.0 Hz.
Controls the intensity of the effect. As DEPTH increases, volume changes become more
dramatic. Ranges from 0 to 30 milliseconds.
Selects which waveform the LFO follows. Options for this control include sine, triangle, SP1
(Special 1), and SP2 (Special 2).The sine wave setting is probably the most easily recog-
nized, but the smooth response of the triangle wave or the intensity of SP1 or SP2 typically
produce better results. See figure 4-2.
Controls the signal input level fed to the Module. Ranges from Off to 100%.
Controls the level of the dry (uneffected) signal. Ranges from Off to 100%.
Controls the positioning of the dry signal in the stereo soundfield. Ranges from -99 (all left)
to 99 (all right)
SHFTA and SHFTB control the pitch intervals between the original note and voices A and
B of the pitch shifter. Pitch shifters can be used for a wide variety of effects, including dou-
