Chapter 8 Parameters Guide
PITCH
Parameter/
Explanation
Range
PITCH SHIFT (Pitch Shift)
OFF, ON
Turns pitch shift on/off.
SHIFT MODE (Pitch Shift Mode)
Selects the operation of pitch shift.
SHIFT
This lets you fine tune the setting for the
fixed amount of pitch shift.
HARMO
This analyzes the pitch of the bass input and
automatically adjusts the amount of pitch
shift. You can use this to create diatonic-
scale harmonies.
KEY *1
C Am–B G#m
Specify the key of the song you are playing.
This KEY parameter is the same as the Key
setting in the [NAME/KEY/BPM] section
(p. 142) and FX MOD1, 2 HARMONIST.
Altering either one changes the key.
HARMO (Harmony) *1
-2oct–TONIC–+2oct,
This sets the pitch for the harmony interval rel-
USER
ative to the input sound.
When this is set to USER, you can set this to the
desired harmony in USER INTERVAL.
BEND
0–100
Setting this to 0 makes for no shift in pitch
by bend, and setting it to 100 produces shift-
ing according to the settings for HiC, 1st
through 4th, LowB.
Normally, you can use the unit with BEND
for patches set at 0 and use Control Assign
to adjust the bend setting between 0 and
100.
* This setting cannot be saved with the patch.
Switching patches resets the setting to 0.
SHIFT HiC, 1–4th, LowB *2
-24–+24
This sets the amount of pitch shift for each
individual string, in semitone steps.
FINE HiC, 1–4th, LowB *2
-50–+50
This fine tunes the amount of change in the
pitch shift sound for each individual string.
USER HARMONY C–B *3
-24–+24
This sets the output pitch relative to the in-
put pitch for the selected key.
BEND SHIFT HiC, 1–4th, LowB
-24–+24
This sets the amount of pitch shift in each
string when the BEND is set to 100.
The amount of shift from the current pitch is
