MerisHedra 500 Series Pitch Shifter

Meris Hedra

The Hedra from Meris is a three-voice pitch shifter with tap tempo delay lines that can be used with vocals, guitars, synthesizers, or anything else you may want to pitch shift. The Key knob sets the tonic note of the pitch shifter, with an alternate function that selects the scale. Hedra features three pitch shifters with intervals from two octaves below and two octaves above the base signal. A delay line can be added to each pitch shifter with a tap tempo delay and tempo divisions for each pitch shifter, and the pitch shifter channels can be added to or removed to the feedback path of the delay. The microtune function can be used to add everything from a slight chorusing effect to massive warbles and audio warping. Select between no correction, loose correction and strict correction with the pitch correction setting. A glide mode adds slewing between notes for smooth transitions or sudden stepping between notes. With instant access to pitch shifting and more in your 500 series rack, Hedra will provide advanced rhythmic pitch shifting with built-in delay lines and top-notch sounding results.
