 ===== Pitch Jitter section =====
 {{::jitterbox-3.png|}}
+//Pitch jitter// means that the pitch-value (note-number) of incoming MIDI note-on and note-off events is modified, with a selected degree of randomization. The name "pitch jitter" may be slightly misleading, as this effect would only rarely be used for melodic note-sequences. It's primarily intended for use with drum-kit sequences, where each note-pitch plays a different drum sound, and so randomizing "pitch" effectively randomizes the drum sounds which are heard, while preserving the rhythmic timing (subject to any timing jitter you may also apply).
+  * The **checkbox** beside the heading "Pitch Jitter" enables or disables the pitch-jitter effect.
+  * The two **Trigger on notes** note-boxes allow you to define a range of input note-numbers to which pitch jittering will be applied. Notes outside this range will pass through unchanged.
+    * Note you can right-click on these note-boxes to pop up an editor, and either type a note-name like "F#5" or play a note on the keyboard (be careful: if other MIDI effects are chained before this one, this may not work as you would expect).
+    * You can also left-click and drag up/down to change the value. If you hold down Option (Mac) or Alt (PC), the value will change by octaves.
+  * The row of controls along the bottom allow you to specify how pitch is randomized:
+    * The **percentage** control defines how often randomization occurs. (100% = randomize all incoming notes, 10% = randomize only one out of every 10 incoming notes)
+    * The "output in range" controls define a the pitch-range from which randomized notes are chosen.
+  * The **Main Output Note** checkbox and accompanying note-box allow you to define a specific output-note for all un-randomized notes.
+    * When the checkbox is NOT checked, input notes which are NOT randomized will pass through unchanged. Randomized notes will be chosen freely from the specified output range.
+    * When the checkbox IS checked, input notes which are NOT randomized will all come out as the specified "main output note". Randomized notes will be chosen from the specified output range //excluding// the specified "main output note".
