Pitch - When Pitch/Bend is selected, the display will show one of three different types of Pitch Shifting which are selectable by rotating the Data Wheel. The types include: Pt (Pitch Shift), bn (Pitch Bend), and bE (Bass Enhancer). Pitch shifting makes a copy of your signal, then shifts it to a different pitch. This results in two different notes playing together. The Amount Parameter determines the interval of the shifted note. The interval choices include: 1d (one octave down),
Detune - Detuning is an effect that uses pitch shifting technology, but does not shift the pitch a full note. It shifts the pitch slightly out of tune with your note, and mixes it back with the original. The Amount Parameter is available with this effect and determines the detuning applied which is measured in cents (100 cents = 1 semitone). The Amount is variable from
Delay - A Delay records a short passage, and then repeats it a moment later. You can repeat the passage once, or several times. The Bass30 offers four types of delay: ta (tape delay), dL (delay), PP (ping pong delay), and Ph (phrase sampling). Tape Delay emulates delays using a tape to record, causing each repeat to deteriorate from the original sound. The Delay setting provides clear, concise repeats. The Ping Pong setting will “bounce” repeats from left to right in stereo. See the next section for a description of the Phrase Sampler.
