Alesis QS8.1, QS7.1 manual Pitch Detune

Part 6: Editing Effects

PITCH DETUNE

As its name implies, Pitch Detune takes a part of the signal and detunes it either sharp or flat. When mixed back with the original dry signal, the popular “12 string guitar” effect is produced, thickening the sound.

RESONATOR

This can be thought of as a highly resonant filter — or a filter that is tuned to a specific frequency with a lot of emphasis — which causes the frequency at which the resonator is set to be highly accentuated. This is useful for creating a brighter, buzzier, edgier sound.

Note: when you want to control the Resonator’s output level on the Mix button [120], adjust the Pitch effect level for that Send.
