3.6.1 Tempo Based
Enabling this button will cause the delay times to be calculated based on the Tempo parameter. As
the tempo value changes, the delays will be scaled appropriately to maintain the rhythm. When this
parameter is off, changes in the Tempo will be ignored. Note that you can have tempo-based delays and
ignore the plug-in host’s Tempo (below).
3.6.2 Key
This parameter sets the Key that will be used as the pitch reference for scales and intervals.
3.6.3 Scale
This determines the progression of whole steps and half steps that will be used for the chosen inter-
vals.
3.6.4 Master Tune
This sets the overall tuning reference. The tuning is referenced to A4, with a range of 392Hz to
494Hz.
3.6.5 Session Tempo
When this is enabled, Octavox’s Tempo and Meter parameters will use and follow the Tempo and Meter
changes that occur in the plug-in host. Otherwise, when set to off, changes to the plug-in host’s Tempo
and Meter will be ignored. Note that the Tempo and Meter parameters may still be automated if this
parameter is set to off.
3.6.6 Tempo
This sets the Tempo of the plug-in.
3.6.7 Meter
The Meter parameter consists of two values that determine the meter, or time signature, of the Notation
Grid. The left number is the numerator which sets the number of beats that are in a measure. The
right number is the denominator which sets the beat subdivision that is referenced in the measure. For
example, a setting of 4 on the left and 4 on the right sets the Notation Grid to 4/4 meter and each
measure will reference four quarter notes. A seven on the left and an eight on the right creates measures
made up of 7 eighth notes.
3.6.8 Loop Delay
This sets the loop point for the Notation Grid. By turning up the loop feedback, the notes in the grid
can be repeated by the length of the Loop Delay. This Loop Delay is preconfigured to be the longest
possible, but can be changed via the parameter’s entry box. This can also be dragged with the mouse
by clicking on the handle (the little down triangle) that exists at the top of the Notation Grid. As you
move it, it will snap to beat subdivisions, or Command-Click to obtain fine control.
3.6.9 Loop Feedback
This sets the number of repeats heard for the Loop Delay. It can be very useful when you want to create
echoes that don’t pitch shift on each repeat like the individual voice feedbacks will do.
