Overtone Pitch Shifting Modifier

Hi,
What about a FX-modifier that covers the harmonic series? This FX would manipulate the pitch of a sample like Dxy and Uxy, but not based to parts of harmonics instead of semitones.

Fortunately, Hxy is still not in use (unknow effect number), so you could give this behaviour to it:
x divides the frequency of a pitch by n+1
y multiplies the frequency by n+1
Taking the n+1 equation, you would avoid a division by 0 and a range of four octaves with each variable. H0F will take a pitch four octaves up, HF0 four octaves down. In between, you may have any pitch treatments that will be harmonically correct in a certain way.

All. the best,
Michael aka Minkepatt

It’s a good idea!

I’ve got a harmonic series modulation set I can share here later that lets you shift pitch based on the overtone series via instrument macro in the meantime

you can drop this modulation set on a sample/oscillator
.xrno files will overwrite whatever modulation sets you may already have, though, so, caveat emptor

to use this with a macro for overtone control, assign the macro to the pitch stepper reset value
