Pitch
Pitch Change
This effect changes the pitch. When an audio signal such as music is played back at a higher speed, its pitch will be higher.
Conversely if the audio is played back at a lower speed, its pitch will be lower. This effect simulates this in a more sophisti-
cated way. Some of these effects can add two effect sounds at different pitches, or synchronize the effect sound to the tempo.
The differences between the various Pitch Change effects are as follows.
High Quality Pitch (PRESET bank)
This is a typical pitch change effect.
Each aspect of the sound is controlled by the following effect parameters.
Effect sound: PITCH, FINE, DELAY, FB.GAIN, MODE
Tempo synchronization: SYNC, NOTE, TEMPO
Output level: OUT LVL, MIX BAL.

Parameter name Range Explanation
PITCH –12—+12
Amount of pitch change, set in semitone steps. Positive (+) settings make the pitch higher than the
original sound, and negative (–) settings make it lower.
FINE –50—+50
Amount of pitch change, set in cents (1/100th of a semitone). Positive (+) settings make the pitch
higher than the original sound, and negative (–) settings make it lower.
DELAY 0.0—1000.0 ms
Delay of the effect sound relative to the original sound.
FB.GAIN –99%—+99%
Amount of feedback for the effect sound. Raising this value will increase the amount of feedback,
emphasizing the pitch change. Negative (–) settings will invert the phase of the feedback.
Parameter name Range Explanation
MIX BAL. 0—100%
Balance between the original sound and effect sound. At a setting of 0% only the original sound
will be output; at a setting of 100% only the effect sound will be output.
OUT LVL 0—100%
Output level after the original sound and effect sound have been mixed.
Decrease this value if you want to lower the output. At a setting of 0% there will be no output.
MODE 1—10
Precision of the pitch change. Higher settings produce a more accurate pitch change, but the delay
error will be greater.
SYNC ON, OFF
Switches tempo synchronization on/off. If this is ON, the delay will synchronize to the tempo syn-
chronization source specified by “TEMPO SOURCE” (page 23). The NOTE value will be set to the
synchronized tempo value.
NOTE
*a
*a.
This parameter is used for tempo synchronization. If SYNC is ON, the DELAY value will be set
according to this value and the TEMPO value. This value is ignored if SYNC is OFF.
TEMPO 25—300
This parameter is used for tempo synchronization. If SYNC is ON, the DELAY value will be set
according to this value and NOTE. This value is ignored if SYNC is OFF.
