Eventide MicroPitch Delay Pedal

Welcome

About This Product

This user guide provides detailed information on the MicroPitch product by Eventide Inc. MicroPitch is a plug-in that offers pitch shifting and delay effects for audio production. This guide will help you navigate the plug-in, understand its parameters, and learn
about its performance controls.

MicroPitch

Navigating the Plug-In

To navigate the MicroPitch plug-in, use the controls provided within your digital audio workstation (DAW). These controls may include knobs, sliders, and buttons that correspond to the various parameters of the plug-in.

Levels and Monitoring

The MicroPitch plug-in allows you to adjust the input and output levels of your audio signal. Use the “In” control to set the input level and the “Out” control to adjust the output level. The plug-in also features in/out meters for visual monitoring of your signal levels.

MicroPitch Parameters

The MicroPitch plug-in offers several parameters for shaping your audio. These parameters include:

• Mix: Controls the balance between the dry and wet signals.
• Pitch Mix: Adjusts the balance between the two pitch-shifted voices.
• Pitch A/B: Sets the pitch shift amount for each voice.
• Delay A/B: Controls the delay time for each voice.
• Mod Depth: Adjusts the depth of modulation applied to the pitch-shifted voices.
• Mod Rate: Sets the rate of modulation for the pitch-shifted voices.
• Feedback: Controls the amount of feedback in the delay lines.
• Tone: Adjusts the tonal characteristics of the pitch-shifted voices.
• Tempo Sync: Enables synchronization of the delay times to the tempo of your project.

Performance Controls

The MicroPitch plug-in includes performance controls for real-time manipulation of your audio. These controls include:

• Using the Ribbon: The Ribbon control allows you to modulate various parameters simultaneously.
• Active: Enables or disables the effect processing.
• Flex: Adjusts the sensitivity of the Ribbon control.
• Tap: Sets the tempo of the delay lines using a tap tempo function.

Preset Bar

The MicroPitch plug-in features a preset bar that allows you to load, save, and compare presets for different settings. The preset bar also includes additional options such as Mix Lock, Info, and Settings.

Conclusion

This concludes the user guide for the MicroPitch plug-in. We hope this information helps you make the most of this powerful audio production tool. For further assistance, please refer to the Eventide Inc. website or contact our support team.

About This Product

Thank you for your purchase of the Eventide MicroPitch plug-in. MicroPitch is a fine-resolution pitch shifter for subtle tone fattening, plus delays for interesting slapback effects. For over 40 years, innovative effects like these have made Eventide an industry
leader, and we are proud that they continue to be in demand today. Thank you for your purchase, and before you forget, please take a few minutes to register online. This helps us keep you informed of any important software updates, and any special offers that may only be available to registered users.

MicroPitch is a fine-resolution pitch shifter ideal for vocal doubling, tone fattening, and unique delays. With independent control of each pitch shifter’s shift amount and delay time, plus feedback and modulation controls, MicroPitch makes it easy to create pristine
chorusing effects, deep pitch dives, haunting echoes, and more. MicroPitch can be used as Mono-In Mono-Out, Mono-In Stereo Out, or Stereo-In Stereo Out.

Navigating the Plug-In
The MicroPitch user interface is designed with an emphasis on user control and playability. Specifically, the large knobs are easily adjusted with an up-and- down motion of the mouse/finger, and all controls produce a smooth change in the audio, allowing you
to glitchlessly shape the effect as you desire. Additionally, each number box can be double-clicked in order to type in parameter values. Furthermore, the RiBBON allows you to program two settings for any combination of the controls and seamlessly morph
to any sound between them. This combination of controls is intended to bring you as close to the experience of manipulating real hardware as is possible in a virtual environment.

Levels and Monitoring

• IN
  Controls the input level to the plug-in, between -60 dBfs and +12 dBfs. This parameter sets the input level for both the wet and dry signals.

• OUT
  Controls the output level of the plug-in, between -60 dBfs and +12 dBfs. This parameter sets the signal level after the mix control.

• IN/OUT METERS
  Indicates the audio level before and after the algorithm. These meters are after the IN control and OUT control, respectively, to aid in level adjustment.

MicroPitch Parameters

• Mix
  Relative level of the wet and dry signals.

• PITCH MIX
  Ratio of the level of PITCH A to PITCH B.

• PITCH A
  Amount of pitch shift up for voice A, from unison to +50 cents.

• Pitch B
  Amount of pitch shift down for voice B, from unison to -50 cents.

• DELAY A
  Amount of delay for voice A in milliseconds, or note-based if TEMPO MODE is on. S

• DELAY B
  Amount of delay for voice B in milliseconds, or note-based if TEMPO MODE is on.

• MOD DEPTH
  Amount of pitch modulation around the each voice’s current pitch, from 0 cents (knob at 0) to 2x pitch (knob at 100).

• MOD RATE
  Relative speed of the pitch modulation.

• FEEDBACK
  Amount of feedback for DELAY A and DELAY B.

• TONE
  Applies filtering to voice A and voice B.

• TEMPO SYNC
  Tempo mode of the plug-in. When Off, the DELAY A and DELAY B amounts are in milliseconds.
  When in Sync or Manual mode, the DELAY A and DELAY B amounts are in beat values, relative to either the tempo of the session (Sync), or a tempo which can be set by dragging the displayed tempo value up and down or tapping the TAP button (Manual).

Performance Controls

USING THE RIBBON

• The RIBBON allows the dynamic modification of several knobs at once, emulating what you would be able to do with real hardware in front of you. By programming left and right ranges for any knob, the RIBBON lets you morph between settings by clicking anywhere on the RIBBON and moving the electric arc back and forth.

• To program the settings for the RIBBON, click on the white dot at the tip of any knob and drag it to the desired setting for the left hand side of the RiBBON. This will program the knob and draw a blue arc from the initial knob position to the new, programmed
  knob position. Now to adjust the knob position for the right side of the RIBBON, click on the blue dot at the opposite side of the arc and adjust it to the desired position for the right side of the RIBBON. If you wish to adjust the RIBBON programming for any knob, simply grab the dots at either end of the mark and adjust them to the desired position. To clear the RIBBON programming for any knob, simply right click on the dot at either end of its arc, or move the dots to be on top of each other.

• Alternatively, the RIBBON can be programmed by pressing the button on the left or right side of the RIBBON, and then moving any knob to its desired RIBBON position for that side. The RIBBON programming can be cleared for all knobs by right clicking the button on either side of the RIBBON.

• Additionally, the RIBBON is programmed to follow MIDI Continuous Control (CC) #1 messages (a.k.a. Modulation Wheel). This enables you to use the Modulation Wheel on a MIDI device to move many knobs at once.

ACTIVE
Turns the effect On or OFF.
Active can be toggled via MIDI Continuous Control (CC) #2 messages. It will toggle when the CC goes from low (value < 64) to high (value >= 64).

FLEX
While pressed, doubles the pitch shift amount of both voices. FLEX can be controlled via MIDI Continuous Control (CC) #3 messages. It will toggle when the CC goes from low (value < 64) to high (value >= 64).

TAP
When TEMPO MODE is Off, tapping will update the DELAY A and DELAY B amount in milliseconds. When TEMPO MODE is Sync, tapping will do nothing. When TEMPO MODE is Manual, tapping will update the tempo value of the plugin.
TAP can be controlled via MIDI Continuous Control (CC) #4 messages. Tap is triggered when the CC goes high (value >= 64), and will return to the off state when the CC is low (value < 64).

Preset Bar

Located at the top of the MicroPitch Plug-In, the Preset Bar lets you load and save presets, along with several other features. is When MicroPitch is installed, a library of settings is placed into the
