Dwarfcraft Devices

Featuring the same lo-fi glitchy sound of the Pitchgrinder but pushed up to 32 bits, Dwarfcraft Devices’s Wizard of Pitch is an excellent traditional pitch shifter that gradually starts to go insane once you start fiddling with the knobs and toggles. Crank up the Speed control and it’ll start crossfading between your wet and dry signals. Engage the Bender toggle and the pitch gets lower as your signal decays. The Steps toggle makes the effect snap to pitches instead of sliding, giving you a near-random arpeggio effect.

Brand: Dwarfcraft Devices

Features:

  • The pedal’s resolution has been cranked up to 32 bits from the ‘Grinder’s 8, but has the same lo-fi sound.
  • The “speed” control, when set to zero, will behave like a standard pitch shifter.
  • As you turn up the speed the output will cross fade between the wet and dry signals, allowing for beautiful moving soundscapes, or stimulating modulation at higher rates.
  • The “Bender” toggle engages a doppler type effect, in which the pitch falls in conjunction with the input signal’s decay
  • Engaging the “Steps” toggle will further confuse the Wizard, snapping to pitches, rather than sliding, and creating almost random arpeggios.

Details: Dwarfcraft has always had an affinity for the weird and glitchy. This release tops them all. What started out as a single stage pitch shifter, a la the Pitchgrinder, the Wizard of Pitch became something brand new. The pedal’s resolution has been cranked up to 32 bits from the ‘Grinder’s 8, but has the same lo-fi sound. The “speed” control, when set to zero, will behave like a standard pitch shifter, but as you turn up the speed the output will cross fade between the wet and dry signals, allowing for beautiful moving soundscapes, or stimulating modulation at higher rates. The “Bender” toggle engages a doppler type effect, in which the pitch falls in conjunction with the input signal’s decay. Until the pedal reaches the end of it’s shifting range, where it starts again. Engaging the “Steps” toggle will further confuse the Wizard, snapping to pitches, rather than sliding, and creating almost random arpeggios. When the Bender mode is active, the speed knob will control the rate of the pitch changes, rather than a cross fade. While the pedal is perfectly useful for traditional pitch shifting, it is much more at home creating new sounds for adventurous musicians.

    Wizard of Pitch is your usual pitch shifter/harmonizer. It’s okay for bizarre cascading pitch-shifting sounds and nothing more.
