Introduction
The Polar Rack Extension from Propellerheads is a dual pitch shifter unit. The concept of Polar is based on the
classic harmonizing effect units of the 80's - with added features and possibilities.
In this day and age a harmonizing effect is a vocal "magic box" that harmonizes and formant-corrects the pitched
harmonies - and also has advanced analysis and "intelligent" pitch shifting. Since we have already got the Neptune
Pitch Adjuster and Voice Synth in Reason, we didn't go that path with Polar. Instead, we added lots of real-time
control, modulation capabilities, plus a Filter section to make it an inspiring device for spicing up boring sounds - and
of course for creating weird and spooky effects!
The main applications for Polar are:
• Micro pitch shifting/thickening/widening
• Pitch shifted delay
• Twisted and modulated pitch shift effects
• Dramatic pitch shifting (special FX)
