ULTRA SHIFTER/HARMONIST US600
Ultimate Pitch Shifter / Harmonist Effects Pedal
Thank you for showing your confidence in us by purchasing the BEHRINGER ULTRA SHIFTER/HARMONIST US600.
This high-quality effects pedal shifts single notes and chords and even creates intelligent harmonies to your notes—
at the touch of a footswitch. Take off with incredible Tremolo Arm/Flutter effects to bend single notes or simulate the
movement of the tremolo bar.

1. Controls

The D TIME/SPEED control has 2 different
(1)
functions depending on the effect mode
selected. For TREM BAR and FLUTTER mode
it adjusts the speed of the pitch change.
When using DETUNE mode it controls the
delay time of the effect. In PITCH SHIFTER and
HARMONIST mode this control is not active.
The BALANCE control adjusts the balance
(2)
between the direct signal and the effect signal
in PITCH SHIFTER, DETUNE and HARMONIST
mode. At minimum position only the direct
signal is provided while at maximum
position only the effect signal will be heard.
In TREM BAR and FLUTTER modes this control
adjusts the output level of the effects pedal.
The HR KEY control is used in HARMONIST mode
(3)
to determine the key you are playing in.
This assures that the right notes fitting with the
harmonic preconditions are generated by the
effect. You can select out of 10 different keys:
1. C major (A minor)
2. G major (E minor)
3. D major (B minor)
4. A major (F# minor)
The PITCH control adjusts the amount of pitch shifting. In HARMONIST mode it selects the interval
(4)
added to the direct signal.
Use the MODE control to select one of 5 different effect styles.
(5)
PITCH SHIFTER: Adds a detuned signal to the original signal with a maximum of 2 octaves above or below.
Use the PITCH control to select the degree of pitch shift (-24, -12, -7, -5, -2, -1, +3, +4, +5, +7, +12, +24).
HARMONIST: Adds harmonies to the original signal with a maximum of 2 octaves above or below. Use the
PITCH control to select the desired interval (-2 Oct, -1 Oct, -6th, -5th, -4th, -3rd, +3rd, +4th, +5th, +6th, +1 Oct,
+2 Oct). The intervals are dynamic and adapt to the key determined with the HR KEY control.
DETUNE: Adds a subtle detuned signal to the original signal with a maximum of 30 cents above or below
(-30 C, -25 C, -20 C, -15 C, -10 C, -5 C, +5 C, +10 C, +15 C, +20 C, +25, +30 C). Use the PITCH control to adjust the
amount of detuning and the D TIME/SPEED control to determine the delay time.
TREM BAR: Detunes the input signal with a maximum of 2 octaves above or below similar to the effect created
with a guitar vibrato arm. Use the PITCH control to adjust the amount of detuning (-12, -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, +1, +2,
+3, +4, +5, +12) and the D TIME/SPEED control to determine the time used to reach the defined pitch value.
The effect is only active when you keep the footswitch depressed.
FLUTTER: Detunes the input signal periodically with a maximum of 1 octave above or below similar to the
effect created with a fast moving guitar vibrato arm. Use the PITCH control to adjust the amount of detuning
(-12, -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, +1, +2, +3, +4, +5, +12) and the D TIME/SPEED control to determine the time used to
reach the defined pitch value. The effect is only active when you keep the footswitch depressed.
The ON/BATT LED illuminates when the effect is activated.
