Diatonic vs chromatic5/16/2023 ![]() Use the Virtual Capo mode in the Pitch block (firmware Ares and later) for drop-tuning as well as virtual capo. Sounds and works the same but a little easier to to configure. You can also use the Advanced Whammy mode in the Pitch block. Set Mix to 100%, Tracking to On, Pitch Track to Poly.Set the other voice's Level to -80 to mute it.For a drop of two semitones set one voice to -2.Put a Pitch block in series at the start of the grid.Setup both blocks to Engage at the same time." Drop-tuning and virtual capo Set it up with a Min frequency of 20,000 Hz, and a Max of 1000 Hz. Use it to cut the increasing high-end as the pitch is raised. Attach the same controller that you are using for the Whammy control to the 'Frequency' parameter in the Filter block. "Try adding a Filter block right after the Pitch/Whammy block. Or use this trick (by forum member Moke): These things were designed to be inexpensive." Higher sampling rates mean more processing power which means more expensive DSP. This limits the frequency response to 5K. (about the original Whammy pedal) "I would venture to guess that the pedal sample rate is low, like maybe 11 kHz. Tip: increase the Scale parameter in the modifier menu a little to create some "flat" space at the top, so the octave arrives earlier and stays put.ĭecrease the max frequency of the pitch-shifted voice to 5 kHz, or even much lower (like 2 kHz), to make it less "digital" and less thin. It's demonstrated as part of the factory preset "JS410" (firmware Cygnus 16.00 and later). You can engage a Whammy on the fly without using Auto-Engage ("Golden Whammy", idea, ). Use the Auto-Engage function in the modifier menu to automatically engage the Pitch block. Use the Classic Whammy pitch type, and attach a pedal to the Control parameter. Each detuner can feed back to itself and/or the other detuner. This type is comprised of two detuners with delay up to 2.0 seconds. The Multitap Delay block in firmware Ares and later is also capable of multi-voice detuning.įirmware 19.03 for the Axe-Fx III added a Dual Detune Delay type. Try running a Chorus block before or after the Pitch block for a more intense effect.īeware of Phase cancellation when running mono.įirmware Ares and later has two Detune modes: Pan the voices for a wide stereo effect.Put the block after the Amp block but before the stereo Cab block.Detune up and down the same amount, between +/-5 and +/-10.Van Halen's sound on the Balance album is well-known example of stereo pitch detuning. Pitch detuning is a great alternative to a chorus, without the "swirl" associated with 80's chorus tone. The Octave Divider sounds slightly like a synth, where a fixed harmony adds identical lower or higher harmony notes at fixed intervals. Pitch block: fixed shifted pitch, 1 octave down.The processors offer several ways to create an Octaver effect (octave down): Ola Englund demonstrates pitch harmony with a pedal Diatonic: Dual / Quadįirmware Ares and later replaces the Intelligent Harmony mode with:ĭual Diatonic (2 voices). Note that Quad Chromatic doesn’t have Feedback parameters. More explanation about diatonic and chromatic harmonies and custom scales Chromatic: Dual / Quadįirmware Ares and later replaces the Fixed Harmony mode with:ĭual Chromatic (2 voices). Pitch types in the Axe-Fx III, FM9 and FM3: Axe-Fx III and FM9 and FM3: 4 channels (A,B,C,D).There simply isn't enough horsepower to run the Axe-Fx III pitch detector without sacrificing the number of simultaneous effects. The pitch detector still isn't up to Axe-Fx III standards but it still works well. (FM3) "The pitch block was updated in 5.xx. 4 Position of the Pitch block on the grid. ![]()
