I just recently received the beautiful Darkglass Anagram to model some crazy bass tones and I wanted to showcase and also test the efficacy of the pitch-shifting block. I was mostly curious about how accurately the block can track the different octaves and if there would be latency. No pitch shifter is perfect, but being in rock and metal/metalcore, you often need to change tunings, and sometimes on the fly. Especially if you have a really good set-up bass rig. 

I do lament having to tune between songs (the Anagram's tuner is incredible!). I have played in Metalcore cover bands, and some songs are sharp or flat. All hail the ever mighty Digitech! But I wanted to test the 6 cores in the Anagram, and see the viability (let's be honest, it was going to be impressive!). There is zero imperceptible latency, lest we keep this reasonable and within... reason...

Yeah the higher and lower you go passed the semitones I was trying, the more latent it can get.

The bass is tuned in Drop A however, the pitch shifter has us 3 half steps down, or semitones as the shifter has it labelled. It stays there mostly, but we tease a 6 semitone drop after the first "breakdown".
As we reach the outro, we shift up 3 semitones, followed by 0 or off for the pitch shifter and in our naked tuning of drop A, then back to our standard tuning, then down to 6 semitones again, followed by the brownest of notes at 9 semitones, and we cycle through the octaves on the last note back to A.

We knew DG was gonna deliver, but here I am still impressed. The guitars are running through a clean channel with the pitch shifter active for the same effect on the Anagram as well. Except I did some EQ'ing on the DI signal. The tone for the guitars comes through my DAW.




Pennies In My Pocket (P.I.M.P)

Singer-songwriter and a primary writing force in Iscah.

I want to do covers, collaborate, or write for you. My voice is mostly suited for modern metal/progressive metal (djent). However, I love many differing styles of music and can work with whatever you have in mind. So don't let the pedigree deceive you. I am no producer, so almost everything I have here is a demo. I also love playing bass and writing grooves. My skill is not solely vocals if you wish. Metal bass is just one color in my palette. I can also be a consult and objective ear/suggestive mind for your writing.
