The Pitch Fork transposes an instrument’s pitch over a +/- three octave range and features three modes which allow the pitch to be transposed up, down, or both simultaneously. The pitch shift amount can be set to a fixed interval or continuously varied by an expression pedal or control voltage.

The controls are straightforward and intuitive. An 11-position Shift switch selects the maximum transposition interval ranging from D (Detune), a shift of 17 cents, through Minor 2nd, Major 2nd, Major 3rd, Perfect 4th, Perfect 5th, Major 6th, Minor 7th, 1 Octave, 2 Octaves, and 3 Octaves. A three-position toggle switch controls whether the pitch is transposed up, down, or both.

In Dual mode, two pitch-shifted signals are output. One follows the shift knob as if in the Up position, while the other creates a harmony. Dual Mode settings include M3 up + P5 up, P5 up + 1 Oct down, 1 Oct up + 1 Oct down, and many others. A Blend knob controls the mix of the dry signal and the effected signal, and an EXP jack enables the player to control pitch and glissando with an expression pedal.

The Latch button selects Latch or Momentary mode, affecting how the footswitch and EXP input behave. In Latch mode, the footswitch toggles between effect on and buffered bypass each time it’s pressed, and the EXP input continuously varies pitch. In Momentary mode, the effect is only on while the footswitch is depressed, and when it is released, the Pitch Fork goes into bypass.

In Latch mode, the EXP input controls the pitch shift amount, ranging from unity to the interval set by the Shift knob, with pitch varying continuously throughout the expression pedal’s range. In Momentary mode, the EXP input controls the glissando rate for the Pitch Fork’s footswitch. When the bypass footswitch is pressed, the Pitch Fork jumps from bypass to the interval set by the Shift knob. The glissando time can vary between 4 milliseconds and two seconds, depending on the expression pedal's position. The default glissando rate is 60 milliseconds when nothing is plugged into the EXP input.

BLEND Knob: The BLEND knob mixes between the untreated, analog dry signal and the effected signal. At the full clockwise position, the output is 100% wet.

SHIFT Knob: The SHIFT knob selects the maximum interval of chromatic transposition. The chart below shows how the pitch will be shifted relative to the original pitch.

MODE Toggle Switch: The MODE toggle switch selects whether the pitch is shifted up, down, or both simultaneously relative to the root. Dual mode outputs two pitch-shifted signals, one following the SHIFT knob as if in UP mode, and the other creating a musically useful harmony.

LATCH Button: The LATCH button selects Latch or Momentary mode, affecting how the footswitch and EXP jack input behave. In Latch mode, the footswitch toggles between effect and bypass each time it is pressed. In Momentary mode, the effect is only on while the footswitch is held down.

The Pitch Fork transposes an instrument's pitch over a +/- three octave range and features three modes for transposing up, down, or both simultaneously. The pitch shift amount can be set to a fixed interval or continuously varied by an expression pedal or control voltage.

The controls are intuitive, with an 11-position Shift switch selecting the maximum transposition interval. In Dual mode, two pitch-shifted signals are output. A Blend knob controls the mix of the dry and effected signals, while an EXP jack allows control over pitch and glissando with an expression pedal.

Latch or Momentary mode affects how the footswitch and EXP input behave. The glissando time can vary between 4 milliseconds and two seconds depending on the expression pedal's position.

The Pitch Fork comes equipped with an EHX 9.6DC-200mA power supply and also runs on a 9-Volt battery.
