Modulation Effects

Unlike pitch shifters, where the frequencies are shifted by a factor, and where the harmonic
relations are kept, a frequency shifter alters the harmonic relations. Therefore, a larger
frequency shift usually results in a disharmonic sound.
Furthermore, a frequency shifter alters the frequencies by adding an offset, while a pitch
shifter multiplies the frequencies by a factor. The frequency shifter alters lower frequencies
more than higher frequencies.
For example, if the input signal has the frequencies 100 Hz, 1000 Hz, and 10000 Hz, and you
shift the frequency by +100 Hz, the resulting frequencies are 200 Hz, 1100 Hz, and 10100 Hz.
Freq Coarse
Here you set the amount of frequency shift.
Freq Fine
Here you can fine adjust the amount of frequency shift.
L/R Offset Coarse
Sets an offset for the left and right channels. Positive values shift the right
channel upwards and the left channel downwards, and vice versa.
L/R Offset Fine
Allows for fine-adjustments of the offset between the left and right channels.
Positive values shift the right channel upwards and the left channel downwards,
and vice versa.
Mod Coarse
Sets the maximum amount of frequency shift via modulation from LFO and
Envelope Follower.
Mod Fine
Allows for fine-adjustments to the amount of frequency shift via modulation from
LFO and Envelope Follower.
Feedback
Sets the amount of feedback, that is, the amount of signal that is sent from the
output of the effect back to its input. The sound is similar to that of a phaser.
You can control the direction and speed of this effect with the Frequency Fine
parameter.
Notches
Here you set the number of notches the phaser effect produces when you use
larger amounts of Feedback.
LFO Section
LFO Waveform and Shape
Waveform selects the basic type of waveform. Shape changes the characteristic
of the waveform.
• Sine produces smooth modulation. Shape adds additional harmonics to the
waveform.
