OCTAVER

Listen

Controls

• Dry0 to 100% — Level of the original signal.
• Oct -10 to 100% — Level of the voice one octave below the input (square wave from a flip-flop, following the input envelope).
• Oct -20 to 100% — Level of the voice two octaves below the input.
• Up0 to 100% — Level of the voice one octave above (full-wave rectified input).
• Tone100 to 5000 Hz — Low-pass on the octave voices: lower is rounder and more synth-bass-like.
• Tracking60 to 1000 Hz — Low-pass ahead of the pitch tracking: set it just above the fundamental of the part for stable tracking.

Best uses

• Fattening bass lines with a sub octave
• Synth-bass tones from bass or guitar
• OC-2 style octave-down guitar leads
• Octave-up fuzz textures
