fades to minimize undesirable artifacts. The re-
sult is a processed signal that is transposed in
pitch, but still retains the same overall length as
the original, unprocessed signal.
The Pitch plug-in was formerly called
DPP-1. It is fully compatible with all set-
tings and presets created for DPP-1.
Pitch Controls
Input Level Attenuates the input level of the
Pitch plug-in to help prevent internal clipping.
Signal Present Indicator LED Indicates the pres-
ence of an input signal.
Clip Indicator Indicates whether clipping has oc-
curred on output. It is a Clip-Hold Indicator. If
clipping occurs at any time, the clip light will re-
main on. To clear the Clip Indicator, click it.
Long delay times and high feedback times in-
crease the likelihood of clipping.
Mix Adjusts the ratio of dry signal to effected sig-
nal in the output. In general, this control should
be set to 100% wet, unless you are using the
Pitch plug-in in-line on an Insert for an individ-
ual track or element in a mix. This control can
be adjusted over its entire range with little or no
change in output level.
Delay Sets the delay time between the original
signal and the pitch-shifted signal. It has a max-
imum setting of 125 milliseconds. You can use
the Delay control in conjunction with the Feed-
back control to generate a single pitch-shifted
echo, or a series of echoes that climb in pitch.
Feedback Controls the amount and type of feed-
back (positive or negative) applied from the out-
put of the delay portion of the Pitch plug-in
back into its input. It also controls the number

of repetitions of the delayed signal. You can use
it to produce effects that spiral up or down in
pitch, with each successive echo shifted in
pitch.
Coarse Adjusts the pitch of a signal in semitones
over a two octave range. Pitch changes are indi-
cated both in the Semitones field and in the Mu-
sical Staff Relative section below this slider. Us-
ing the –8va and +8va buttons in conjunction
with the Coarse slider provides a full 4-octave
range of adjustment.
–8va and +8va Buttons Clicking the –8va button
adjusts pitch down one octave from the current
setting of the coarse and fine pitch controls.
Clicking the +8va button adjusts pitch up one
octave from the current setting of the coarse and
fine pitch controls.
Relative Pitch Entry (Musical Staff)
Clicking on any note on this musical staff se-
lects a relative pitch transposition value that
will be applied to an audio signal. If Middle C is
illuminated, it indicates that no pitch transposi-
tion has been selected. If a pitch transposition is
selected, the note interval corresponding to the
selected transposition value is indicated in yel-
low. Alt-clicking (Windows) or Option-clicking
(Mac) on the staff will set the coarse pitch
change value to zero.
Relative pitch entry
Fine Controls the pitch of a signal in cents (hun-
dredths of a semitone) over a 100 cent range.
The range of this slider is –49 to +50 cents. Pre-
cise Pitch change values are indicated in the
Cents field. The flat, natural, and sharp signs be-
low this slider indicate deviation from the near-
est semitone.
