Tutorial: Creating User Scales for the Harmonic Pitch effect

Quote from Lokasenna

Make two or three of the same patch, with a different scale set up on each.

I did that before, but then you have to start tapdancing and that's not my biggest skill

Soon, you will be able to morph from one scale to another

Hadn't thought of that but could be excellent use of morphing

You you could use morph to hold a sustaining note, with harmonies, and have the harmonies move with a chord change.

I used two harmonic pitchshifters in the X and Mod slots and alternated between them using the remote. Works like a charm.

You'd have to press two buttons on the Remote, right? Once press the Assign to X button, and once press the Assign to MOD button, to change the scale? And I need 4 of them for Highway Star

No, you can assign a switched-off and a switched-on stomp to the same button, and when pressing the FX button, they simply swap states. ;o)
But if you really need 4 pitchshifters for Highway Star...
1. can I have a copy of your Perfomance? ;o)
2. I'd use 4 slots approach just for the sake of controlability, the 1 remaining slot should be enough to cover the rythm parts of the song.

Hi Rene,

Thanks for the explanation. I discovered that also this weekend. And I also discovered that I can play the entire solo with just one scale - so everything's cool now!
Cheers,
Eric

Thank you Lokasenn, this was a big help.

Question: Is there an online repository of User scales anywhere (couldn't find one)?

This thread inspired me to create three (albeit pretty simple) Major user scales (starting with 0 as your root):
