Name

The name of the effect instance.

Effect instances are a group of effect property settings. They can be one of two types: custom instances or ShareSets. Custom instances can be used by only one object, whereas ShareSets can be shared across several objects.

Effect

The type of effect.

Shared by (Used by)

A list of objects that currently subscribe to the selected ShareSet.

This field is called “Used by” when editing a custom instance of the effect.

Returns the effect property settings to their default values.

This option is only available when editing a custom instance of the effect.

Notes

Additional information about the effect.

Effect Settings

Input

This parameter determines which channels will be processed by the harmonizer.

Values:

Process LFE

This parameter determines if the LFE channel will be processed by the harmonizer.

Default Value: False

Window Size

Larger window size gives better frequency resolution but more smearing of transients. This parameter is thus a compromise between time resolution and frequency resolution. See section above for a more detailed discussion on how to choose the value for this parameter.

Default Value: 1024
Range: 256 to 4,096
Units: Sample frames

Delay Dry

Determines whether the dry signal should be delayed to preserve synchronization with the harmonized (wet path).

Default Value: True

	Note
	This property has no effect when the harmonizer is used in an Auxiliary Bus. In this case, the dry signal is defined by the object sending to the auxiliary bus.

Harmonizer Voice Parameters

Voice Enable

Determines whether a given pitch voice is enabled.

	Note
	In order to avoid unnecessary artefacts and save ressources, make sure you disable all voices that you don't need (instead of using a zero pitch or a very low voice level for example).

Pitch Shift

The pitch is raised or lowered by the amount specified by this parameter (in cents). +1200 Cents is thus transposed an octave up and -1200 is an octave down.

Default Value: 0
Range: -2,400 to 2,400
Units: Cents

Gain

The amount of gain applied to a given harmonized voice. Allows to set a balance between different harmonized voices.

Default Value: 0
Range: -96 to 24
Units: dB

Voice Filter Parameters

Type

Determines the type of filtering that can be applied to the harmonized voice signal. The following filters are available:

Gain

The amount of the amplification of the harmonized voice signal for the selected frequency band. Increasing this value “boosts” the audio signal. Decreasing this value “cuts” or attenuates the audio signal.

Default value: 0
Range: -24 to +24
Units: dB

	Note
	The Gain controls are not available when the Low Pass, High Pass, Notch, and Band Pass curves have been selected because these filter types have their passband normalized at 0 dB.

Frequency

The portion of the frequency spectrum that will be affected by the gain.

Range: 20 to 20,000
Units: Hz

Q

The area around the center frequency that will be affected by the change in gain. A low Q value means that the bandwidth range will be wide, and conversely a high Q value means that the bandwidth range will be narrow.

Default value: 1.0
Range: 0.1 to 20

This control is not available when the Low Pass, High Pass, Low Shelf, and High Shelf curves have been selected.

Output Levels

Dry level

Gain applied to unprocessed signal.

Default value: 0
Range: -96 to 24
Units: dB

	Note
	This property has no effect when the harmonizer is used in an Auxiliary Bus. In this case, the dry signal is defined by the object sending to the auxiliary bus.

Wet level

Gain applied to harmonized voices signal.

Default value: 0
Range: -96 to 24
Units: dB
