Insert effect parameter functions

Pitch Shifter

This effect moves the pitch of the original sound up or down
within a range of two octaves.
* If the "COSM OD GUITAR AMP" algorithm is selected, this effect can
be used if "PS" is selected for the "FX Select" of the FX. If other than
"COSM OD GUITAR AMP" algorithm is selected, this effect can be
used if "P.SHIFT" is selected for the "Effect Type" of the Modulation.
Effect On/Off
This parameter turns the pitch shifter effect on or off.
■ When "COSM OD GUITAR AMP"
algorithm is selected
Voice 1-VOICE, 2-MONO, 2-ST, 1-PEDAL
This selects the number of voices for the pitch shift sound.
1-VOICE:
One-voice pitch-shifted sound output in mono.
2-MONO:
Two-voice pitch-shifted sound (PS1, PS2) output in mono.
2-ST (2-stereo):
Two-voice pitch-shifted sound (PS1, PS2) output through left and
right channels.
1-PEDAL:
The pitch-shifted sound for a single source is output in mono. When
the expression pedal is depressed, the pitch can be varied by the
amount of pitch shift set using "Pitch." For more detailed
information, refer to "Using an expression pedal" (p. 84).
Mode
Selection for the pitch shifter mode.
FAST, MEDIUM, SLOW:
The response is slower in the order of FAST, MEDIUM and SLOW,
but the modulation is lessened in the same order.
Pitch
Adjusts the amount of pitch shift (the amount of pitch change) in
semitone steps. If the "1-PEDAL" is selected for the "Voice", the
pitch can be varied by the amount of pitch shift set using this
parameter when the expression pedal is depressed.
Fine
Make fine adjustments to the pitch shift.
* The amount of the change in the Fine "100" is equivalent to that of the
Pitch "1."
Pre Delay
Adjusts the time from when the direct sound is heard until the pitch
shifted sounds are heard. Normally you can leave this set at "0 ms."
Feedback
This adjusts the feedback amount of the pitch shift sound.
Level
Adjusts the volume of the pitch shift sound.
102
OFF, ON
FAST, MEDIUM, SLOW
-24–+24
-50–+50
0 ms–300 ms

0–100
Direct Level
This adjusts the volume of the direct sound.
■ When algorithm other than "COSM OD
GUITAR AMP" is selected
P.Shift Type
Selects either a manual or pedal-type pitch shifter.
MANUAL:
A simple pitch shifter.
PEDAL:
The effect of the pedal-type pitch shifter can be replicated by
operating an expression pedal. When the expression pedal is
depressed, the pitch can be varied by the amount of pitch shift set
using "Pitch." For more detailed information, refer to "Using an
expression pedal" (p. 84).
Pitch
Adjusts the amount of pitch shift (i.e., the degree of change in pitch)
in units of one semitone. By selecting DETUNE, you can add a
slightly pitch-shifted sound to the input sound to produce a detune
effect. If the "PEDAL" is selected for the "P.Shift Type", the pitch can
be varied by the amount of pitch shift set using this parameter when
the expression pedal is depressed.
D:E Balance
This adjusts the balance of the direct and effect volumes.
Separation
This parameter adjusts the diffusion—in other words, the panning of
the direct sound and the effect sound to left and right. This will be
effective when stereo output is used.
