Cooper FX Arcades Pitch Card

Description

Cooper FX Arcades Pitch Card includes the following patches:

1. Dual – two voiced classic pitch shifter

  • Pit – the action of this patch, CCW is no pitch shifting, CW is max pitch shifting.  Try hooking an expression pedal up to this control
  • IntA – interval of primary pitch shifter, from tape stop to octave up
  • IntB – interval of secondary pitch shifter
  • VolB – volume of secondary pitch shifter

2. EnvGld – hard playing vs soft playing will cause the audio to change pitch

  • Sen – sets how hard you have to play to trigger pitch jump
  • P-1 – selects the pitch the signal will be when you play SOFT, quantized to semitones from -15 to +16 semitones
  • P-2 – selects the pitch the signal will be when you play HARD, quantized to semitones from -15 to +16 semitones
  • Port – smooths out the transitions between the pitch jumps, portamento like effect

3. Arppeg – two step arpeggiator

  • Spd – sets how hard you have to play to trigger pitch jump, tap tempo available
  • P-1 – selects the pitch of first step, quantized to semitones from -15 to +16 semitones
  • P-2 – selects the pitch of second step, quantized to semitones from -15 to +16 semitones
  • Port – adds a portamento effect to the arpeggiation

4. ArpFrz – dual freezing delay buffers with pitch shifting, bouncing around from +1 to -1 octave

  • Spd – speed of pitch arpeggiation
  • Oct+ – volume of the upper octave , turn fully CW to mut this step
  • Oct- – volume of the lower octave, turn fully CW to mute this step
  • Frz – turn past the halfway point to freeze the signal

5. Organ – simulates an organ soaked in the reverb of a cavernous cathedral

  • Oct+ – blends in an upper octave
  • Oct - – blends in a lower octave
  • Rvrb – reverb amount, turn fully CW to freeze the signal, creating an organ drone to play over
  • Vibr – vibrato applied to organ

6. Grains – plays back a chunk of audio, or grain, at a faster or slower speed to create a unique style of pitch shifting

  • Size – size of the grain to be sped up or slowed down
  • Frz – non additive feedback loop, locks whatever is in delay buffer when fully CW
  • Pit – pitch/speed of grain
  • Fbk – additive feedback for ascending/cascading feedback shimmering

7. Glass – reversed reverb with pitch shifting

  • Dcy – decay, when turned fully CW the reverb loop is locked
  • Pit- pitch/ speed of reverb
  • Slce – slice size that is reversed
  • Prom – prominence of pitch shifter, sets how aggressive the regenerated pitch signal is

8. Crystl – dual reverse delays with individual playback speed/pitch control

  • Bal – blend or balance between the two individual pitch voices\
  • P-1 – pitch of the first voice
  • P-2 – pitch of secondary voice
  • Fbk – feedback/regeneration of pitch shifters
