About the Intelligent Pitch Shifter

The Intelligent Pitch Shifter (MAJ3UP-MAJ6TH) creates musically useful harmonies by varying the amount of pitch shift according to the note you play and the key in which you are playing. For example if you select a pitch shift value of a 3rd up in a major key (MAJ3UP), the amount of pitch shift will vary automatically between three semitones (a minor third) and four semitones (a major third).

• When MAJ3UP is used with a key setting of C

The pitch created by the intelligent pitch shifter is shown in parenthesis ( ).

The PANDORA mini provides seven types of intelligent pitch shifting, with intervals of a 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th. (For the 3rd, you can select either the upper or lower part, and a major or minor key.)

If your instrument is not tuned correctly, the results may not be as you expect. In this case, re-tune your instrument.

The intelligent pitch shifter will function when you play individual notes. It cannot produce the effect for chords.

DLY: Delay Modeling

Each delay type, (1,2,3,4,5) has different amounts of feedback.

C, D buttons (TYPE ▲, ▼)	Value Dial

DRYAIR, WETAIR, ROOM1, ROOM2, PLATE1, PLATE2, HALL1, HALL2, SPRING1, SPRING2	Adjusts effect level. (0.0–10.0)

Troubleshooting

If the PANDORA mini does not function as you expect, please check the following points first.

Power does not turn on.

• Is a battery installed? Alternatively, is the USB cable connected correctly and securely?

No sound

• Are your guitar or bass, amp and/or headphones connected to the correct jacks?
• Is your amp turned on and set correctly?
• Are any cables broken?

If you can hear sound from headphones connected to the unit, there may be a problem somewhere after the output stage.

• Check to make sure that the program level is not set to "0" or a low value.

• The VOLUME dial may have been turned down.
