The Pitch Section
Octave
Adjusts the pitch in octave steps.
Coarse
Adjusts the pitch in semitone steps.
Fine
Fine-tunes the pitch in cent steps.
Fixed
Activate this option to set the same pitch for all keys.
When working with longer grain durations, activating the Fixed option sets a constant
pitch for all keys. When working with shorter durations, each key plays a different
spectrum.
Formant
Changes the pitch of the original sample. The following applies:
• For short grain durations, where the perceived pitch depends on the grain size,
changing the pitch of the underlying sample creates an effect similar to formant
shifting.
• For longer grain durations, where the perceived pitch is the pitch of the original
sample, the effect changes to a pitch offset.
The Filter Section
The Filter section allows you to adjust the tone color of the sound.
Envelope
Adjusts the cutoff modulation of the filter envelope. Negative values invert the
modulation direction.
