Controls
| Control | What to listen or look for |
|---|---|
| Shift | Moves pitch up or down in semitones. |
| Formant | Shifts the resonant character of the sound, changing vocal-like tone independently of the main pitch shift. |
| Grain | Sets the size of the pitch-shifting analysis grains, balancing detail and smoothness. |
| Mode | Chooses how the pitch-shifted sound is combined with the original. |
| Fade | Sets the smoothing at transitions to reduce abrupt changes and clicks. |
| Wide | Adjusts the difference between the left and right channels to change stereo width. |
| Output | Sets the signal level leaving this stage. |
| Mix | Blends the original signal with the processed signal; 100% gives only the processed sound. |
| Preserve | Keeps the original formant character when shifting pitch. |
Work with this device
