1. This plug in brings us right back to our days working at Eventide When we were asked to create a stereo harmonizer we went a little crazy and created the H3000 multi effects processor with dozens of effects algorithms and hundreds of presets Even a couple of decades or so later it s still a great trick and is a big reason why those old pitch shifters are still in demand INSTALLATION SHIFT As cool as all that was the thing is almost every time we walked up toa rack with an H3000 in it it was almost always set up for tiny pitch shifts hence the name microshift to thicken background vocals or other instruments Dial in a few cents up on the left and a few down on the right add a dash of delay and voila instant fat stereo sound soundtoys DETUNE DELAY Va hh MAX TIGHT MicroShift expands upon its little brother Little MicroShift by allowing you to dial in the exact amount of DETUNE and DELAY and adds a unique multi band FOCUS control so you can apply the effect only to higher frequencies leaving your low end tight and untouched If you re reading this manual you ve probably already installed MicroShift successfully If not please read our SoundToys Getting Started Guide Note Eventide Harmonizer and H3000 are all trademarks of Eventide Inc AMS is a trademark of AMS Neve Ltd These are mentioned for historical purposes only AMS and Eventide in no way endorse this product an2. d are not associated or affiliated with SoundToys SHIFT CONTROLS MIX For the clearest widest sound 100 percent wet is the way to go To get a thicker more chorused sound you can use this control to blend some of the original unprocessed signal with the pitch shifted and delayed effect DETUNE DETUNE increases or decreases the amount of micro pitch shifting that is happening with any particular style Because the pitch shifting for each style is continually time varying this control is in units of percent At 50 the amount of detuning is halved At 200 the amount of detuning is doubled DELAY DELAY increases or decreases the amount of delay that is happening with any particular style Because the delay for each style is continually time varying this control is in units of percent At 50 the amount of delay is halved At 200 the amount of delay is doubled FOCUS The FOCUS knob controls the crossover point of a 2 band crossover flter applying the effected signal only to the high band While very source dependent it s useful for widening mid and high frequency content without making the low end sound loose or muddy It defaults to 20 Hz but can go all the way up to 10 kHz STYLE I Modeled on preset 231 from the H3000 We ve pretty closely matched the delay and pitch variation which isn t exactly what the front panel says and even emulated the sound of the a
