Detune (M)

Detune effects are useful for thickening up sounds by adding delayed/pitch shifted versions of the original source. They can be particularly effective when used to simulate double-tracking. They are also great alternatives to cho- rus effects as a detuner can add the richness of a chorus effect without the audible sweep caused by the chorus rate. Detuners are also traditionally used to turn a six- string guitar into a twelve-string, or an in-tune piano into a honky-tonk. The MPX G2 detuner is optimized to provide very fine amounts of pitch shift.

Detune (M) is a single-channel detuner that creates a pair of sig- nals, pitch-shifted up and down from the input. The pair is always mixed together, and presented equally to the outputs.

As the detune effects use up relatively few processing resources, they can be combined with reverb and many other effects. When creating effects that don’t require pitch shifting by large intervals (semitones) the detuners are the most efficient choice.
