Meris Hedra Pitch Harmonizer

Description

Meris Hedra 

3-Voice Rhythmic Pitch Shifter 

Every action has a reaction. A simple stone thrown into water can create successions of fascinating waves and effects, while a humble turn of a key can unlock a barrage of events impossible to predict or hear.

This is the magic that Hedra bestows upon you and your instrument, allowing you to uncover new sonic-harmonic chain reactions for every single note played. Meris Hedra is a 3-voice pitch shifter capable of adding 3 harmony voices to your instrument and with the possibility of having a tap tempo synchronized delay for each voice, this marvel far transcends the territories of traditional pitch shifting. In addition, pitch glide, micro tuning, 4 different delay configurations, adjustable pitch correction, and keyboard MIDI control combine to make Hedra an unprecedented instrument and sound experience.

You can keep it simple and use Hedra as a standard chromatic pitch shifter. Or you can go all out by layering intervals and gliding between dancing diatonic landscapes, through 6 different scales and a host of rhythmic subdivisions. Now raise the Glide control by holding TAP for portamento harmonies and auto-swell typical of Synths - or increase the pitch regeneration - and you'll float on clouds of shimmering sci-fi effects.

Connect a MIDI keyboard or MIDI sequencer to Hedra and transform your instrument into a puzzle of harmonies and hard-tuned passages. While capable of adding completely new dimensions to the humble 6-string (or more) instrument, Hedra is not limited to guitars alone. In fact, you can use it on practically any instrument or line-level audio signal you wish. Whether you want to completely overturn the rhythms of a drum machine, harmonize vocals, or completely alter synths, loops, or any other type of audio source, Hedra's advanced pitch-shifting capabilities will transport you and your sound to entirely new sonic worlds.
