Joachim's Pluto filter (18-Jun-04) Planet Filter Series

This effect consists of 3 separate pitch shifters in parallel. That means the signal is split up into 3, then each part of the signal is sent into a pitch shifter. Afterwards those three signals can be mixed with each other and the original signal. Here is the diagram over the internals of the plugin:

diagram

Dry Volume:

Amount of signal passing directly through the plugin.

1. Semitones:

Amount of halftones to pitch. Beware of pitching more than appx. 7 halftones, unless you don't mind this sounding a little strange. Also this plugin does not have formant correction.

1. Finetune:

In case you want to adjust pitch more accurately.

1. Volume:

How much of this particular pitchshifter to mix in. At -100 dB the pitch shifter is disabled.


Pitch shifter 2 and 3 works just like 1.

Buffersize:

The buffersize of all three pitch shifters. Adjusting this correctly is the key to smooth pitch shifting and lesser artifacts. Too low values will cause ringing, and too high values will delay the pitch shifted signal, and mess up timing. This parameter is not suited for automation.

Lowpass filter:

Yet another trick to get rid off unwanted artifacts. This lowpass filter is only applied to the three pitch shifters, and not the direct (dry) signal.
