Hi,
This is not so much a technical but rather a music theory question.
I want to use the pitchshifter in order to create some harmonic sound by playing just one note, whereas I play the higher note and want the pitchshifter to create the lower one.
Here is what I play and what the pitchshifter is supposed to do:
As you can see, there are two problems:
1. I want the pitchshifter to play different notes to my playing the same notes,
2. When assuming F maj scale there are different steps you have to take down to get to the desired notes.
What i did was attach a modifier to the step value in the pitchshifter and toggle between -3 and -4. However, that is a rather cumbersome solution, since the first two, the second two, the third two and the last three notes (see the last column in the table) are played legato which gives room for a lot of switching possibilities that can go wrong...
Anyway, I could live with switching in between but not while playing the legato notes. I tried to figure out which scale to use, but none the implemented scales seems to fit. Building my own scale in the most convenient way modifier-wise for this song is somewhat out of my depth (lessons in music theory are too far back to really remember in detail)...
Is there anyone out there who could help?

What I play | What the pitchshifter should play | Steps down in scale F maj | Legato notes |
F | C | -4 | I |
C | A | -3 | I |
E | C | -3 | II |
C | G | -4 | II |
A# | G | -3 | III |
G | D | -4 | III |
