Octaver

CATEGORY
Pitch

Four-voice monophonic octaver (-2, -1, +1, +2) with an independent level per voice. Each voice is a tape-style pitch shift: the input is replayed at the octave ratio and spliced by whole periods of the tracked note, so the result sounds like the same guitar tuned an octave away with its dynamics intact. Tracks single notes and bass lines; on chords the tracker loses lock and the voices gate off. Octave voices sit a little behind the dry signal (a few ms on high notes, more on low E). Dry/wet mix and output volume are the engine's global device parameters.

Use the parameter table above to see the available controls, ranges, and defaults. Device behavior and useful settings depend on its position in the signal chain and on the devices before and after it.

Tips

  • Begin with the default settings and adjust one control at a time.
  • Compare the device with bypass at a similar output level.
  • Save a device preset when you find a setting you want to reuse.
