  Hi i am a composer / producer in Montreal .
  
  I use a lot the pitch factor on my guitars tracks .
  
  i love it !!!
  Show More...
  
  i work on a balinese project , and i would need a unit with a
  special scale in it .
  
  the scale is pelog : C# D E G# A ( so a special 5 notes scale . )
  
  the way they harmonised melodies is always ” 4 notes higher ” .
  
  so the harmony for the C# is G# the harmony for the D is the A
  the harmony for the E is C# the harmony for the G# is D the
  harmony for the A is E
  
  is it possible to program it in my unit or to order a custom
  unit ?
  
  thank you !
  
  i wish you a wonderfull day
  
  cheers

That breakdown of harmony notes has me confused. But if you need “always four notes higher”, you can use one of the parallel harmony algorithms (non-diatonic, with static intervals). In the H910/H949, it’d be Pitch A/B set to 1.335 (Pitch Control on Chromatic). For the Harmodulator, Pitch A/B at +P4. You could also use Crystals, with Pitch A/B dialed to 500c.

Each of the algorithms above will bring its own unique flavor and features to the pitch processing. Or perhaps stick with the Diatonic algo and C Mixolydian? I haven’t thought that last suggestion through, but if you restrict your input to that 5-note scale … At any rate, I’ll help you get there, if it’s possible. I just need to be clear on exactly what you need here, harmony-wise.

to be more clear , i can write my question in 2 parts :

1- is it possible to create custom scales in the pitch factor ? pelog is C# D E G# A ( so 1 b2 b3 5 b6 in terms of scale degree )

2 – is it possble to program diatonic harmonisation in the balinese way : mostly in fiths , but the 3 rd degree of the scale has to be harmonised with a major 6th and the 6th degree with a tritone

so if we are in C# pelog the scale and harmonies will be

C# harmonised with G# ( 5th )

D harmonised with A ( 5th )

E harmonised with C# ( major 6th )

G# Harmonised with D ( tritone ) ( diminish fifth )

A harmonised E ( fifth )

1). No, that’s not currently possible. That kind of feature has been requested here a number of times.

2). Also not possible, in an automated sense. I’ve programmed MIDI CC messages for harmony interval changes on-the-fly, but that involves some tap-dancing on MIDI pedalboard switches.

Mr Brock is correct. This is not likely on a Guitar Pedal.

Our rack boxes have this capability, but they are much more sophisticated units.

i found a way .

The phrygian mode share the 5 notes of the pelog mode .

most of the harmonisation i need is a diatonoc fifth exept for the 3 rd degree of the scale that needs a major sixt .

so i use diatonic set to fifth and i program the expression pedal to move from 5th to 6th .
