Pitch Shifted Drum & Bass

This is a Drum & Bass loop which is slowly shifted from its original pitch to an octave above. The Dry mix is switched off entirely, and only Delay 1 is heard. Delay 1 is set to have the minimum delay time, and no feedback.

Harmonized Pad

This demo uses Shift to add chromatic harmonies to a monophonic pad. First we have the dry synth pad sound. Then the pad is routed through Shift which creates a Major chord by adding harmonies at 4, 7, and 12 semitones. Finally, we create Minor chords by adding chromatic harmonies at 3, 7, and 12 semitones.

Ascending & Descending

This is a simple Aspect patch 'Music Box' through the Shift patch 'Meandering Delays'. First we hear Aspect dry, and then routed into Shift. This creates a very complex series of echoes, where all three of Shift's delay lines are engaged. One creates a chromatic shift an octave above, whilst the other two create recursive echoes that ascend and descend, respectively. All three delays have different delay times.

Loomer Shift

About Loomer Shift

Shift is a real-time diatonic granular pitch shifting and delay effect. Shift has three independent true stereo delay lines with discrete time, feedback, pan, and volume controls. Each delay line can be set in one of three pitch shifting configurations (Chromatic, Recursive, or Diatonic) and transposed by as much as an octave up or down using both coarse semitone and finely grained cent controls.

In Diatonic mode the accurate and responsive pitch tracker follows any monophonic audio source and tunes the pitch of the delay line harmonies to remain in key and in scale.

Shift's echoes can either be synced to the host tempo (expressing delay times as musical subdivisions of a beat, with each echo exactly in time with the host) or in free-time mode (allowing fine tuning of the delay times, up to 2 seconds.)

Each delay line can be modulated using the straightforward Pitch and Time modulation controls, capable of generating a wide range of sounds from subtle detuning to extreme audio mangling.

True independent stereo processing means that left and right channel separation is preserved. Shift is also capable or running in mono, or even mono to stereo.

With optimized audio algorithms that won't overload your processor, rock-solid stability, and easy integration with any MIDI hardware controller, Shift is ideal for live work. With a simple and intuitive interface, flexible Bank and Program management, and total parameter automation, Shift fits right into your studio environment. Shift is available for Mac OS X v 10.4 and above, Windows XP and above, and Linux, in Audio Unit, VST plugin, RTAS for Pro Tools 7 and above, and Standalone application formats.
