Different from a traditional pitch shifter, all frequency elements of the sound are constructed in equal parts. This results in a very clean-sounding effect without artifacts. For drum loops and similar-sounding tracks, the transients and punch are preserved. With this plugin force, you let subtle modulations change your tone and can add stereo image widening or intense atonal effects. Additional four effects: Shifter, Delay, Resonator and Filter enable you to add shape the sound.
