A pitch shifter is an array of alternating delays that first cuts the signal into slices, and then plays them back at a different speed. Any pitch shifter will always introduce a little latency to the signal, simply because it relies on delays. This latency becomes most noticeable when playing chords, as longer slices are required for natural, musical tracking.

The KEMPER PROFILER offers a wide range of pitch-based effects — from subtle harmonization to extreme sound manipulation. The Harmonic Pitch creates intelligent, scale-aware harmonies that track your playing with remarkable precision, ideal for dual-guitar textures and lead lines. The Pedal Vinyl Stop emulates the dramatic slowdown of a turntable when power is cut, delivering expressive pitch drops that respond beautifully to your playing dynamics or expression pedal control.
