Intelligent Pitch Shifting (IPS)
Intelligent Pitch Shifting makes a copy of the incoming signal, and then changes the pitch of the
copied note to a diatonically correct interval specified by the Amount parameter. An Intelligent
Pitch Shifter sharpens or flattens the shifted pitch in order to keep the specified interval within
the selected key and scale creating a true harmony.
Shift-Knob2 selects the amount or harmony interval for the Intelligent Pitch Shifter. Interval
choices include:
OCt Dn (octave down)
7tH Dn (a seventh below)
6tH Dn (a sixth below)
5tH Dn (a fifth below)
4tH Dn (a fourth below)
3rD Dn (a third below)
2nD Dn (a second below)
2nD uP (a second above)
3rD uP (a third above)
4tH uP (a fourth above)
5tH uP (a fifth above)
6tH uP (a sixth above)
7tH uP (a seventh above)
OCt uP (an octave above)
Key - Knob3 selects the musical key that the IPS uses. Key choices range from the Key of E
(KeY e) through the Key of Eb (KeY e∫).
Scale - Knob 4 selects the scale the IPS will use. Scale choices include: Major (MAJOr),
Minor (MInOr), Dorian (DOrIAn), Mixolydian (MIXLYd), Lydian (LYDIAn), and Harmonic
Minor (HMInor).
Level (X-EditTM only) - Adjusts the IPS Level (IPSLVL) of all the pitch-altering effects in
this module. Ranges from 0 to 99.
