  • Page 5: About This Product

    This package includes a stunning recreation of the H949 Harmonizer®, as well as a Dual H949 version, which recreates the popular technique of running two H949 units in parallel to create lush doubling and other interesting effects.

    Also, be sure to audition the two pitch algorithms provided for the variety of sources you may feed into it. The original H949 hardware unit featured two outputs - a Main Output, which passed the effected signal, and a Delay Only Output, which passed a delayed (but otherwise non-effected) signal.

    2.1 H949 Single Harmonizer® Controls Main H949 Panel Line When the Line control is IN the unit is actively processing audio; when it is OUT the unit is bypassed and passes audio directly from input to output. Input Level This is used to set the optimum operating level for the system.

  • Page 8: Repeat

    Repeat This locking pushbutton is used to capture and repeat audio segments. Pressing it captures the last 400 ms of audio and re- circulates it until Repeat is pressed again. Remember that pressing Repeat captures the signal content of the current memory buffer. If you are listening to a delayed out- put, part or all of the segment heard immediately before press- ing Repeat may be lost.

  • Page 9: Feedback

    Feedback The Feedback controls route a portion of the output signal back to the input. The output of these controls is mixed with the input signal, but is independent of the gain adjustment provided by Input Level. Gains are normalized so that, with EQ controls ap- proximately centered, the feedback level varies from 0 to 100% (loop gain of unity or ”infinite”...

    Function Select The Function Select button and the 4 switches to its right allow you to select the basic operating modes of the H949. When pressed IN, the 4 switches function as labeled in red below each switch. When the Function button is OUT, the switches function as labeled in green above the switches.
  • Page 11 EXTEND – permits extension of the length of the audio seg- ment over which pitch change will be affected, up to the full extent of the H949 memory (400 ms). N.B. Main Out- put delay is not available in Extend mode – the Main Output delay switches are instead used to determine the length of the audio segment used for pitch change.

  • Page 12: Algorithm Select

    Algorithm Select The H949 allows you to select one of two pitch change algo- rithms in order to support optimal pitch change with a vari- ety of source material. In general, Algorithm 2 is glitch free, but will add varying degrees of coloration to the signal, and is more suitable for extreme pitch ratios.

  • Page 13: Delay Level

    This parameter controls the level of the Delay Only Output from the H949 unit. Mix Level This parameter sets the overall balance of wet signal to dry sig- nal. Main Level This parameter controls the level of the Main Output (pitch shifted output) from the H949 unit.

    Of course, you can also use the H949 Dual to create a wide variety of other interesting sounds. The H949 Dual includes two Main Panels (as described above), and an Expansion Panel with several additional controls.
