Pitchwheel audio demos
A demonstration of the tight transient positioning in Pitchwheel. The percussive hits stay right on the beat, without the flam effect sometimes heard on pitch shifters. The smooth parameter is then lowered to show how fast the pitch can change.
Got a cool analogue sample, but don't have the synth that made it? Fit it into a track rather than make the track fit the sample. Using a slight portamento enables smooth transitions, allowing note changes without the clicks from cutting the sample up in an editor. Doing this live creates spontaneity to the performance. Note, the unaffected sample in the first bar has pitch changes included.
The actual pitch, denoted by the inner ring, swings around the user controlled pitch settings.
The instruments are perfectly pitch shifted and show the vibrato effect of the gravity settings.

This is an example of the 'MIDI only' mode. A short vocal part is repeating continuously in the host, and the harmony parts are simply played through a MIDI track. Up to 8 voices can be used. The fixed spectral envelope creates a more natural voice, and prevents the 'chipmunk' effect.
This long chord is detuned slowly with low gravity and intertia settings. It creates a ghostly effect and demonstrates the sample accurate pitch changes of Pitchwheel.
A demo of the crazy multi-octave pitch spins that can be achieved through MIDI, or really low gravity and high inertia settings.
