By "detune chorus" I mean a pitch shifter used as a chorus; a shift of a few cents blended with the direct signal. It produces what sounds like an LFO swept comb filter similar to a conventional chorus (or any short delay), except that the sweep is unidirectional and the pitch shift is constant.A sawtooth LFO applied a delay will give you a constant pitch shift (until you hit the end of the ramp, and it pops back to start over again ).
Can you clarify this?
My point is, the pitch shifter sounds like it uses an LFO similar to a chorus with a sawtooth LFO, but with some extra code to eliminate the glitch. Perhaps it doesn't, but what I hear sure sounds similar. Some are stating that there is no sweep. To me, the presence of the comb sweep is irrefutable. It's just a saw shape. I also hear it with pitch shifting beyond the micro range of detune.
At the discontinuity, the sweep is far less defined. In that one respect, it is less "sweepy" than conventional chorus.
And I didn't intent to derail the thread on a tangent.
