Its CTRL footswitch glides between the voices, so you get footswitch-controlled pitch transitions without an expression pedal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePITCH A sets an interval above the input, from unison up to two octaves. PITCH B sets an interval below the input, from unison down to two octaves. A WET B sets the mix between PITCH A and PITCH B, and DRY sets the dry signal level from 0 to 100%.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe PITCH footswitch turns the pitch effect on and off. The CTRL footswitch triggers pitch transitions. A three-position toggle selects the transition: A-B, B-A or A+B.
