The Pitchwheel plug-in freely alters the pitch of a sound without
changing it's length. It has a large, easy to use dial and simple
parameters making it a fast and creative effect unit. It can give fine
tuning control from fractions of a semi-tone to huge multi-octave pitch
swings. Through the use of MIDI 8 note chords can be played, with very
low extra resource cost. The user pointer acts as a desired pitch
change, and the actual pitch is produced by gravity and inertia
controls. Pitchwheel moves towards the desired pitch at sample accuracy,
enabling nice transitions without stepping artifacts. A DJ turntable
feel can be created with some play, but the difference here is that the
tempo remains the same, so your track can go on without sequence timing
changes. You can of course use it static, to create odd alien sounds,
and character changes. Dopler effects can be easily simulated, or just
use it to alter background atmospheres in real-time to get them just
right. The stereo image is kept intact on all pitches, without movement
across the channels.

Once you start feeding your sample collection though Pitchwheel, you
start to think it's completely natural to bend and twist sounds around
freely, and wonder why you couldn't do this before!

* Changes the pitch but not the length of a sound.
* Pitch spin, and twist samples about while keeping tempo steady.
* Large and easy to use, ideal for experimental and live performances.
* MIDI controllable with multi-octave adjustments, and fine wheel detuning.
* 8 note chords offsets for multi-vocals, or extra thick drum loops.
* Unique inertia parameters for springy vibrato effects.
* Sample accurate changes prevent stepped pitch changes.
* Phase locked for stereo sounds.
* Great visual feed-back with semitone snap, and real pitch indicator.

Pitchwheel 3.01:
* Semitone shift accuracy increased.
* Minor reduction in CPU usage.
* Logic MIDI-effect type control working correctly.
