The Effects and Parameters

Shift (M), Shift (S) and Shift (D)

 

 

Shift (M)

Shift (S)

 

The pitch shift effects are de-

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

signed to provide both fine (1 cent

 

 

 

 

 

resolution) and coarse (semitone

 

 

 

 

 

resolution) pitch shift effects. Use

 

 

 

 

 

them to create

harmonizations,

 

 

 

 

 

detuning, or special effects. The

 

 

 

 

 

Tune parameters can be glided

 

 

 

 

 

smoothly across their entire

range. Try controlling Tune with a

 

 

 

 

 

foot pedal or MIDI controller for

 

 

 

 

 

“whammy-bar” and pedal steel ef-

 

 

 

 

 

fects.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Shift (M) is a single-channel

 

 

 

 

 

pitch shifter.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Shift (S) is a stereo version of

 

 

 

 

 

Shift (M) with

synchronized

 

 

 

 

 

crossfades.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Shift (D) provides mono input to

 

 

 

 

 

two independent pitch shifters

These effects use more processing resources than the detuners. Shift (S) and Shift (D) are

 

 

 

 

among the largest effects in the MPX G2.
