Event-based pitch shifter
Chops audio into individual beats and shifts each beat downwards in pitch. Only allowing downwards shifts helps keep timing very tight - depending on complexity, whole rhythm sections can be shifted!
Tune | Coarse tune (semitones) |
Fine | Fine tune (cents) |
Decay | Adjust envelope of each chunk (a fast decay can be useful while setting up) |
Thresh | Trigger level to divide the input into chunks |
Hold | Minimum chunk length |
Mix | Mix original signal with output |
Quality | The High setting uses smoother pitch-shifting and allows processing of stereo signals |
Alternative uses include a triggered flanger or sub-octave doubler (both with mix set to 50% or less) and a swing quantizer (with a high threshold so not all beats trigger).
