PITCH SHIFT

The next modulation effect type is PITCH SHIFT:
This is a stereo pitch shifter with independent control over the left and right channels. The parameters
are:
LEFT SEMITONE
LEFT FINE
RIGHT SEMITONE
RIGHT FINE
Whilst the PITCH SHIFT effect can be used for special effects by tuning each channel to wide
semitone intervals, one of the most useful applications is to use just a hint of detune using the
LEFT/RIGHT FINE parameters. This gives a rich chorus or ensemble effect but without the inherent
cyclicness imposed by the LFO modulation found in chorus effects.
NOTE: As with all but the most expensive pitch shifters, there is a small delay in the pitch
shifted sound. This can be used to enhance an ensemble effect, however. Also, extreme pitch
shifts will exhibit some 'wobbly' artefacts. In this case, mix the level of the pitch shifted signal
back a bit.
