You have to keep this in mind :
All effects that will do this work taking the incoming sound,which is analog,converting it to digital,then manipulate it produce the effect,then converting it into analog again to output to the amp.
In all this process,there is big amount of quality involved that is lost.
If you plan to run ONLY the effect's output,as to listen the detuned notes alone,you must know that you will get a sample of your actual sound,not the sound per se.
This sample sound might not be perfect and can have a lot of artifacts,depending on the quality of the the A/D and D/A converters,plus the sample quality.
As most people run the effects in the background,meaning a MIX between the clean sound and the effect,this artifacts don't make a significant problem,but I can see that will be significant in the way you propose to use it.
I am writing this after testing some effects only output from my rackmount fx processor,actually a digital delay that can detune by semitones the output.
It is possible to do what you say,but is clear the output is not keeping the original sound quality. |
