Mezi klíčové vlastnosti patří:

• Advanced pitch shifting algorithms for versatile sound manipulation.
• Independent dual voice control for complex harmonies and octaves.
• Revolutionary MASH expression control footswitch for dynamic real-time effects.

Nastavení

Before using your BRAINWAVES PITCH SHIFTER pedal, ensure proper connection and power supply.

Spojení

• Vstup: Connect your instrument (guitar, bass, etc.) to the 'STEREO IN MONO' jack on the right side of the pedal. For mono input, use a standard mono instrument cable. For stereo input, use a TRS cable or two mono cables with a stereo splitter.
• výstup: Connect the 'STEREO OUT MONO' jack on the left side of the pedal to your amplifier or next pedal in the signal chain. This output supports both mono and stereo configurations.
• USB: The USB port on the rear of the pedal is used for connecting to a computer (PC or Mac) for TonePrint editing and firmware updates.

Napájení

The BRAINWAVES PITCH SHIFTER requires a 9V DC power supply with a minimum current of 100mA. The power connector is standard center-negative. Ensure you use a compatible power supply to avoid damage to the unit.

Ovládání je ukončenoview

• FX TYPE Knob: Selects the overall effect type. Options include WHAM (whammy-style pitch bends), DETUNE (subtle pitch detuning), TP1 (TonePrint 1), TP2 (TonePrint 2), and PITCH (standard pitch shifting).
• MIX knoflík: Blends the dry (unaffected) signal with the wet (effected) signal. Turn clockwise for more effect, counter-clockwise for more dry signal.
• VOICE 1 & VOICE 2 Knobs: These independent controls adjust the pitch interval for each voice. Settings range from OFF, UNI (unison), to various octave and custom intervals (2, 3, 5, 7, 9, 12(OCT), 24(OCT)). The small toggle switches below each knob determine if the voice shifts UP or DOWN.
• MASH Footswitch: This pressure-sensitive footswitch acts as an expression controller. Pressing harder on the footswitch dynamically alters a pre-assigned parameter, such as pitch bend range or modulation depth. The MASH functionality can be customized via the TonePrint app.

TonePrint App Integration

The BRAINWAVES PITCH SHIFTER is compatible with TC Electronic's free TonePrint app (available for PC, Mac, iPhone, Android, and iPad). This app allows you to:

• Beam artist-made TonePrints directly to your pedal.
• Create and customize your own unique pitch effects.
• Assign and fine-tune the MASH footswitch functionality to any parameter.

To use TonePrint, connect your pedal to your device via USB or use the audio beaming feature with your smartphone.

Režimy přemostění

The pedal features switchable true/buffered bypass. True bypass ensures optimum clarity and zero high-end loss when the pedal is off, preserving your original tone. Buffered bypass mode can be beneficial for long cable runs to prevent signal degradation.

Údržba
