Page 23: Pitch Shift
Pitch Shift Pitch Shifting is commonly used in sound design for film and for correcting pitch when converting between different frame rates. In music, it is generally used for shifting the pitch of vocals (for effect) or an instrument (usually when single notes are played, such as in a guitar solo). -
Page 24: The Parameters
Each PCM Native plug-in contains a set of parameters, and a variety of those parameters are combined to create a preset. Following are all the algorithm parameters you can edit in the PCM Native Pitch Shift Plug-in. Shift Type This parameter allows you to select whether you want to adjust the pitch using Semitone and Cent controls (Musical) or by a percentage (Percent). -
Page 25: Crossfade
Content Checked Crossfade As the Pitch Shift algorithm needs to create splices of the program material in order to process it, this parameter is used to smooth out the signal between these splices. A longer crossfade will result in a smoother splice, but sometimes at the expense of ghosting (double hits when shifting up and missing hits when shifting down). -
