A common trick 80’s guys like me do with our racks is to use MicroPitch Detune in stead of chorus on gain tones. It’s the old EVH trick to wide the tone. Sometimes we also combine it with a Chorus on clean LA style tones.
In my current rack I have an old Yamaha SPX-90 doing the trick. You detune one side -9 cent with 15ms delay and the other side +11 cent with 25ms delay. The algorithm in the old SPX-90 is called Pitch Change C and on the H3000 it’s called Mircopitch.
Pitch block doesn’t have milliseconds yet. Do you balance each side at 50 %?
im 99% sure you can set delay to 0 ms on chorus to get this effect? now i have to go look because i cant remember if QC let me set it to 0 or .01
omg dude SPX 90 he’ll yeah
im still looking for an SPX-90 II
you can do this with an ADA MP1 also by turning on chorus and setting it to literally 0 ms
How can I get that FX in QC?
Thanks in advance.
You can run 2 parallel lines (both set to the same Output) with a pitch-shifter on each row, set to the values mentioned with the ‘fine’ parameter.
Same w/ delays (though you can get the chorusy effect just from the pitch-shifters)
If you use delays you might want to experiment with setting their mix to 100% and no feedback/repeats.
