NotesFeatures of the H949: - Pitch change (with de-glitch circuitry with optional ALG-3 board) - Time compression/expansion - Time reversal - Delay, randomized delay, ADT - Feedback path with gain and Lo+Hi EQ for space effects - Flanging - Repeat Remote Control: Provision has been made for control by microcomputer using the IEEE-488/1975 standard interface bus. The HK940 keyboard can be used to control the pitch ratio in discrete musical steps. Option 05 mono keyboard controls one Harmonizer; option 06 polyphonic keyboard controls up to three Harmonizers. An input is provided to phase-lock the Harmonizer to any synthesizer. A 3 volt peak-to-peak signal is required. The pitch may be varied by a control voltage input in the 5 to 15 volt range (internally selected). NOTE: XLRs are wired with pin 1=GROUND, pin 2=COLD, pin 3=HOT like most older American gear.
