Pitch

The PITCH area has three sets of controls for changing the pitch of both Layers; TRANSPOSE, COARSE, & FINE. The COARSE and TRANSPOSE controls are shared by the same knob. Selecting the label switch below the PITCH knobs will toggle between COARSE and TRANSPOSE.

TRANSPOSE

The Transpose controls work like MIDI transposition and pitch changes are made in semitones. Changes in pitch don’t affect the sound quality of the Oscillator. Transpose is most often used to set the oscillators at different semitone values, such as octaves or different intervals. Transpose offers the best available sound quality but it is not Modulatable.

Range -24 semitones to +24 semitones

COARSE

Coarse operates in a similar way to a fine pitch control, but with a much larger range. Unlike Transpose, using Coarse tuning does affect the sound quality of the Oscillator, but it is a Modulatable control. COARSE is very useful for wide-range pitch modulation FX.
Range -4800 cents to +4800 cents

NOTE: Changing from Coarse to Transpose (or vise versa) will not reset the pitch values because they are separate parameters.

FINE

The fFne pitch controls are the most precise, changing the pitch in 1-cent increments. The Fine controls can shift the pitch 100 cents up or down, or one semitone each way.

The most common use of fine pitch controls is to ‘de-tune’ one oscillator a small amount (less that 15 cents) that makes theOscillators sound richer because of the chorusing effect it provides.

Range -100 cents to +100 cents
