Pch Pch2 Hrm Dtn DDtn Wham Arp Description 1-voice pitch shifter Smooth tracking 1-voice pitch shifter 1-voice intelligent pitch shifting Single-voice pitch shifter Mono dual detuner Pedal-controlled pitch bending effects 35 Smooth Whammy Whm2 Fast tracking pedal-controlled pitch shifter Mono arpeggiator The <PITCH> group includes pitch shifters, mono and dual detuners, arpeggiators and DigiTech's exclusive WhammyTM. Pitch shifters allow you to change your input note by a specified interval and mix it with the original, creating a harmony. The effect is similar to two or more guitars playing different notes simultaneously. Detuning is similar in sound to a chorus, except that its pitch remains constant, rather that modulating back and forth between two points. It is best visualized in terms of two guitar strings tuned to the same approximate pitch; both are tuned to the same note, but each is slightly out of tune with the other. Both notes are constant in pitch, but subtle additions in richness and overtones can be heard. DigiTech's exclusive WhammyTM allows you to create mind-bending dive bombs and pitch bends with the continuous controller pedal on the RP-12 pedalboard. All the intervals are selectable and can be stored in memory for later use. You've never heard anything like it!An arpeggiator is simply a pitch shifter in the feedback loop of a delay. Each time a note is fed back to the input of the pitch shifter, it is once again pitch shifted and sent to the delay, which, in turn, sends part of the signal to the output and the rest back into the pitch shifter to repeat the process. With high feedback settings and short delay times, the sound is reminiscent of an early analog synthesizer. Parameters are as follows: Pitch Shifters Pitch On / Off . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
