sounds played simultaneously) cannot be played.
Pitch
Adjusts the amount of pitch shift (the amount the pitch
changes) in semitone steps.
changes) in semitone steps.
Fine
Makes fine adjustments to the pitch shift.
* “100” units of change in Fine is equivalent to “1” full change
in pitch.
PreDly (Pre Delay)
Adjusts the time from when the direct sound is played until
the pitch shifted sounds are produced. Normally, you can
leave this set at “0 ms.”

* When set to BPM, the value of each parameter is set according
to the value of the Master BPM (p. 44) specified for each patch.
This makes it easy to achieve effect sound settings that match
the tempo of the song (synchronizing the cycle to one-half or
one-fourth of the BPM when the set cycle rate is increased).

Feedback
This adjusts the feedback amount of the pitch shift sound.
Increasing the Feedback level produces an effect whereby the
sound seems to rise and fall with the reverberations.

This adjusts the volume of the pitch shift sound.
Direct Level
Adjusts the volume of the direct sound.
