Pitch Shift Help

[bshaw92]

I usually setup a pitch shift to tune down a half step. It is not working the same in the simple pitch. I have a "warbly" sound and no other effects are on. Has anyone had success in this area?

I find it only works on single notes and power chords only near the nut on the fretboard. Its a monophonic effect.

My Digitech Drop does a much better job.

 

I hope they come up with a polyphonic pitch shift, though it may pull a lot of DSP.

And are you on 2.01?

I pulled this out of a similar thread from a little while back.

 

See if it is what you're trying to achieve. It uses a "Pitch Whammy" block, not the simple pitch.

 

Here's a link to a tone I made that already has an "Eb Drop" switch for you to play around with.

Have fun!

 

PLEASE NOTE: A lot of users have complained that the upgrade to FW2.0 has screwed up the pitch shifting quality. Digital Igloo states that Line 6 are aware and a patch to revert the shifter algorithms will be made available.

I'm pretty certain the 201 update reverted to the earlier pitch algorithm. Not super hi-fi, but many people found it better than what was in 2.0.

Yes. Certain chords produced some really funky sounds in 2.0. Other than that, I found the tracking better in 2.0. Prior to that, and in 2.1, it's seems really flaky, to the point where I wouldn't even consider using the pitch blocks for any kind of extreme detuning, unless the track being detuned is somewhat shrouded with other tracks.

I am on 2.01.
