• SUB Switch: Activates a sub-octave effect.
• UP Switch: Activates an octave-up effect.
• S&U Switch: Combines sub-octave and octave-up effects.
• Harmony Switch: Engages the harmony effect, blending the dry signal with the shifted pitch.
• Sensor/Switch Mode: This toggle determines how the pedal is engaged.
  • In Senzor mode, the effect is activated by pressure on the pedal surface.
  • In Stikalo mode, the effect is toggled on/off by pressing the pedal down like a traditional footswitch.

4.2 Adjusting Pitch and Harmony

Uporabite -OKTOB in +OCT switches to select the desired pitch interval for shifting. The pedal allows for customizable adjustments within these octave ranges. Engage the Harmonija switch to blend your original dry signal with the shifted pitch, creating rich harmonic textures.

4.3 Utilizing Pressure Sensing Technology

The MOOER Pitch Step incorporates advanced pressure sensing technology. When the pedal is in Senzor mode, the effect engages as soon as pressure is applied to the footpad, allowing for dynamic and expressive pitch manipulation without needing to click a switch. Experiment with varying pressure to achieve different nuances in your sound.

5. Vzdrževanje

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your MOOER Pitch Step pedal, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Čiščenje: Za čiščenje zunanjosti pedala uporabite mehko, suho krpo. Izogibajte se abrazivnim čistilom ali topilom, ki lahko poškodujejo površino.
• Shranjevanje: Store the pedal in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If storing for an extended period, remove the battery to prevent leakage.
• Povezave: Občasno preverite vse kabelske povezave glede obrabe. Prepričajte se, da so vtičnice brez prahu in umazanije.

6. Odpravljanje težav

If you encounter issues with your Pitch Step pedal, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Ni zvoka:
  • Preverite vse povezave avdio kablov.
  • Ensure the power supply is correctly connected and functioning, or that the 9V battery has sufficient charge.
  • Verify that your instrument and amplifier delujejo pravilno.
• Netočno sledenje višine tona:
  • While the pedal offers polyphonic shifting, complex chords or very fast playing may sometimes affect tracking accuracy. Try simplifying your input or adjusting your playing style.
  • Prepričajte se, da je vaš instrument pravilno intoniran.
• Effect Stays On/Off Unexpectedly (Sensor Mode):
  • The pressure sensor can be sensitive. Ensure your foot is fully removed from the pedal when you want the effect off.
  • If the effect remains active when your heel is on the ground, try adjusting your foot placement or switching to Stikalo mode if preferred.
• Nezaželen hrup:
  • Ensure you are using a high-quality, regulated 9V DC power supply.
  • Preverite ozemljitvene zanke v signalni verigi.
