Lexicon PCM96 Pitch Shift - Standard VSO, Pitch Shift - Multi Mono VSO, Pitch Shift - Post VSO

sets themselves may be loaded into either type of machine, with the appro- priate number of voices appearing. Every effort is made to make the factory presets sound alike in both formats, but it is possible to may presets that work very differently, based on machine type.

Pitch Shift - Standard VSO

This simple pitch shifter provides high-quality shifting by semitones and cents. In stereo or surround, this is the best choice for full music mixes or for any multichannel submixes. Shifting on all channels is linked, so that the resultant soundstage remains stable.

Pitch Shift - Multi Mono VSO

This shifter shifts all channels independently, making no effort to maintain multichannel coherence. It is intended for multichannel material in which the channels do not share material. It may be used in 4, 5, and 6-channel machines.

Pitch Shift - Post VSO

This shifter shifts stereo groups independently, keeping channels within the groups coherent, but making no effort to maintain coherence between stereo groups. It is of most value in audio post, where L/R, LS/RS are perceived as stereo pairs. Center and LFE are uncorrelated.

In this algorithm, center and LFE channels (if present) are treated inde- pendently. The lowest frequency parameter does not affect shifting in these channels.

Signal Generator

This algorithm is used to generate test signals. These signals may be used both for building presets and for testing aspects of recording studio function- ality. The sweep tone generator is good both for locating bad speaker drivers and for scaring your cat.
