Audio Obscurity: The VSC Analog Pitch Correction System C. 1980

Download four pages of documentation regarding the M8 series of analog pitch-correction devices from the VSC corporation:

There were three models of these devices offered: the ready-made M8-C (above), which offered a pitch-shift range of 0.6x to 4.0x (with glorious 300-5Khz bandwidth); the M8-A was a expansion-only module, and the M8-B was a compression-only module.

If the idea of completely analog real-time pitch-shifting is not wacky enough for ya, how about mechanical pitch shifting? See this earlier post…

Thanks so much for posting the information on the VSC Module M8. I am repairing a ca. 1984 RTI CineScan which uses a variation of this module. This CineScan is used to preview 16 mm film and is use by Kinonik. kinonik.org preserves and screens movies for yesteryear.
I hope this will aid me in repairing the module.
