MICROPITCH DELAY
CHRISTOPHER SCAPELLITI
Eventide

FOR DECADES, ENGINEERS have used micro-pitch shifting to create detuned delays, chorusing, modulation and stereo widening. The effect began in the mid-1970s as an untended consequence of the then-new Eventide H910 Harmonizer, whose clocking mechanism would flicker between two pitch ratios. By placing two units in parallel, studio engineers found they could use the anomaly to achieve a rich stereo spread. The H910’s successor, the H949, had improved clocking and used techniques to produce more precise deviations in pitch, helping further establish micro-pitch shifting as a production tool.
