3.3 Pitch and Delay Controls
Derived from such flagship effects processors as the Orville™ and Eclipse, Octavox produces high quality
harmony effects available from Eventide. An extensive set of useful parameters is offered to give you the
freedom to create the sound you need, quickly. Each of these parameters is detailed below.
3.3.1 Voice Select
More of tool than a parameter, Voice Select allows you to bring voices forward when manipulating them
in the Notation Grid. You may find voices that share similar delay times and pitches end up stacking
up on top of each other. Grabbing with the mouse may not pick the one you’d like to edit. Use the
Voice Select button to bring the desired voice to the top, making it easier to grab it and move it with
the mouse.
3.3.2 Voice Level
Each voice offers level control from 0dBfs down to –100dBfs.
3.3.3 Voice Enable
Each Voice can be quickly turned on or off using this button. When a voice is turned off, its note graphic
is removed from the Notation Grid.
3.3.4 Voice Pan
Each Voice offers a pan control to place it anywhere in the stereo field.
3.3.5 Delay Time
This lets you set the amount of time that passes before the voice is heard.
3.3.6 Delay Feedback
Each voice has its own feedback loop that causes its own output to feed back into it’s input, post
pitch-shifter. It works best with some amount of delay. Be careful with cumulative feedback–when the
eight voice feedback amounts add to 100% or greater, run away feedback will occur and the audio will
mute.
