The Pitch block
In the Pitch block there are two basic Pitch types: Fixed and
Intelligent. The difference between the two types is that
while the Intelligent pitcher is capable of staying inside a
certain key and scale, the Fixed pitch will always add the
exact same amount of pitch no matter the input signal.
The Detune algorithm is used for smaller amounts of pitch,
to create doubling sounds.
The optimal pitch detection is acheived by placing the Pitch
block as close to the Input section as possible. It is very
important to be in tune when playing with the Intelligent
pitcher. Use the Tuner for that purpose.
INTELLIGENT PITCHER
Key
With this parameter you are able to tell the G-Force which
key you are playing in. This is very important information,
because the voices of the intelligent pitcher are generated
from it.
Scale
Sets the scale that the Intelligent Pitcher uses, meaning that
the voices from the G-Force will be within this current scale.
It is recommended that this scale be equal to the scale you
are playing, otherwise you might get some very strange
voicings.

Mode
Choose the mode of the Intelligent Pitcher.
Stepped: The Pitcher will only play notes within the current
scale and key no matter what you play.
Smooth: The Pitcher will follow the incoming signal. This
means that you can bend a tone, and the Pitcher will bend
with you.
Voice 1-2
Sets the step in the current scale and key in which you want
the pitcher to play.
Example: You want the G-Force to play the third step in
C-Major. Set the Key to C, and the Scale to Ionian Major.
Now set Voice 1 to step 3. No matter what you play within
C-Major the G-Force will now play/transpose two steps
further up the scale, i.e. if you play a C now, the G-Force
will play an E which is the third step of C-Major.
Max. pitch is +/- one octave.
Detune Voice 1-2
Adjusts the detune of the two Voices. By connecting an LFO
to these parameters you can add a vibrato to the pitch voices.
Delay 1-2
Sets the Delay of the each of the two voices. Max. delay
time per voice is 400 ms.
Pan Position 1-2
Controls the panning of each of the two pitch voices.
Level 1-2
Sets the level of the two pitch voices.
Mix
Mix between direct sound and effect.
In Level
Controls the input level of the block.
Out Level
Controls the output level of the Intelligent Pitcher block.
Mute mode
See Mute mode in the introduction of this chapter.
Custom Scale
The Custom scale enables you to make your own scale, by
specifying the number of notes, the root key and the specific
notes contained in the current scale.
Notes used
Use this parameter to specify the number of notes within
your Custom scale. A Custom scale must contain a minimum
of 4 and maximum of 8 notes.
Tonic
Sets the root key of your Custom Scale.
