Lexicon PCM 80 manual V1-V6 Pitch

PCM 80 User Guide Lexicon

Pitch cont'd.	Rule This parameter has four values: Round Down, Round Up, Shift
	Down, and Shift Up. Its exclusive purpose is to tell the interval
	harmonizer what to do with out-of-key pitch assignments. The
	values instruct the interval harmonizer as follows:

Round Down Take the input pitch assign, round it down a half-step to an in key pitch, then calculate the interval pitch.

Round Up Take the input pitch assign, round it up a half-step to an in key pitch, then calculate the interval pitch.

Both of these generate in-key harmonization.

Shift Down Take the input pitch assign, round it up a half-step to an in-key pitch, calculate the interval pitch then shift the interval pitch down a half-step.

Shift Up Take the input pitch assign, round it down a half-step to an in-key pitch, calculate the interval pitch then shift the interval pitch up a half-step.

Both of these generate out-of-key harmonization.

Unison and Octave interval pitches strictly follow the input pitch assign. An example of how to use these follows the explanation of Voice Pitch intervals.

V1-V6 Pitch

The Res2>Plate effect has an individual pitch interval control for each voice resonator. The range of each control is up or down any scale interval through five octaves and Unison, for a total of 81 possible settings. For example: an interval of up one-fifth reads "+5th", and an interval of up one octave and a fifth reads "+1 Oct +5th". Down one-fifth reads "–5th", down one octave and a fifth reads "–1 Oct –5th".
