About the Intelligent Pitch Shifter
The Intelligent Pitch Shifter creates musically useful harmonies by varying the amount of pitch shift according to
the note you play and the key in which you are playing. For example if you select a pitch shift of a 3rd up in a major
key (MAJ3UP), the amount of pitch shift will vary automatically between three semitones (a minor third) and four
semitones (a major third).
• When MAJ3UP is used with a key setting of C
The pitch created by the intelligent pitch shifter is shown in
parenthesis ( ).
The PX5D provides seven types of intelligent pitch shifting, with intervals of a 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th. (For the 3rd,
you can select either the upper or lower part, and a major or minor key.)
If your instrument is not tuned correctly, the results may not be as you expect. In this case, re-tune your instrument.
The intelligent pitch shifter will function when you play individual notes. It cannot produce the effect for chords.
