Troubleshooting Tips

 

PitchFactor Beta Release Notes
Thank you for trying out PitchFactor 2.3.0[2] Beta. Since this is Beta software, it has not received the level of testing required for a full release. While it has been well tested by Eventide staff, there is a small possibility that it has problems our testing has not revealed. We recommend that you only install this software when you have time to fully evaluate it, and never just before a tour or gig.
Please report any bugs you find to PF_Beta@eventide.com
We recommend that you back up your existing presets before updating to a new software version.
Some changes have been made to the Scale control in Diantonic and Harmodulator which may change the sound of User-Created Presets. You may want to adjust the Scale control of your Diantonic and Harmodulator Presets after updating.
It is also important to note that it is possible to revert to the original version anytime, if desired.

New Scales in Diatonic and Quadravox

New scales have been added to the Diatonic and Quadravox effects. Using the Speed/Scale knob, you can now select from the following:

[MAJ] - Major
[min] - Minor
[DOR] - Dorian
[PHRG] - Phrygian
[LYD] - Lydian
[MLYD] - Mixolydian
[LOC] - Locrian
[Hmin] - Harmonic Minor
[Mmin] - Melodic Minor
[Wton] - Whole Tone
[ENIG] - Enigmatic
[NPLT] - Neopolitan
[HUNG] - Hungarian

 

Expression Pedal

There are improvements to the way that expression pedal programming works.

Expression Pedal Programming Activation:
Expression Pedal programming is now activated only when the Expression Pedal is at the heel or toe position.

Shorter Timeout:
The Pedal Programming Timeout has been reduced to 2 seconds. This means that when you move the Expression Pedal to heel or toe position, PitchFactor will allow Expression Pedal programming for 2 seconds and then change to normal operation.

 

Bank Select

In Bank Mode, the Encoder can now be used to select banks in either direction if turned within 2 seconds of pressing a
bank change footswitch.

 

System Menu Updates

[TUNER] - Tuner

[CALIBRT] - The Calibration Range of the Tuner has been extended. It is now 420Hz-460Hz. Default is 440Hz.

 

[UTILITY] - Utility Functions

[PDLOCK] - "Lock" Expression Pedal settings
When PDLOCK is set to ON, Expression Pedal programming is disabled and all Expression Pedal settings are locked. Default is OFF (unlocked).

 

Miscellaneous Fixes

-PitchFlex can now be controlled via MIDI CC.

-An issue has been fixed where tapping delays in non-tempo mode displayed greater delay values than were actually present.
