MERIS | Hedra 500 Series Pitch Shifter | w/ 3 Voices & Tap Tempo Delay

Add massive moving harmonies to your guitars, keys, vocals, and more with the Meris Hedra 500 Series rhythmic pitch shifter. Layer three independent voices under your original signal and set them to a selection of intervals ranging from two octaves down to two octaves up, with the ability to set the key and scale. With Hedra’s glide control, you can easily move from modern hard-tuned-style pitch shifting to more natural movements between notes. And, a Micro Tune control creates synth-like detuned effects to fatten or warp your signal. Additionally, Hedra’s four delay configurations serve up complex echoes and slapback effects for generating deeply textured harmonies. Musicians of all types at Sweetwater have gravitated to Hedra. For solo singer/songwriters, it brings dimensionality to a vocal performance. Synthesists love it as a creative engine for taking their patches to the next level. Even those who play strings and horns are using Hedra to add experimental elements to their playing. A truly cutting-edge pitch shifter, there’s nothing quite like the Meris Hedra.
