PitchFactor User Guide The Effects

Octaver

Octavers traditionally use analog techniques to track the pitch of the input audio signal and

synthesize a signal whose musical tone is an octave lower than the original. PitchFactor’s

Octaver creates a pair of sub-harmonics, one an octave below the note that you’re playing

and the other two octaves below. It also adds an Octave FUZZ generator. The sub-harmonics

can be filtered and the filters modulated by the input audio level.

Octaver is a parallel (dual mono) rather than stereo effect.

Note: Tempo cannot be used with this effect.

Pitch Mix

Controls mix of 1

and 2

sub-harmonics (A&B). Unlike PitchFactor’s other effects, Inputs 1

and Inputs 2 are not mixed.

Pitch A/Pitch B

Controls the center frequency of the resonant filters for A/B.

Delay A/Delay B

Controls filter resonance for A/B.

Note: After adjusting the filter’s center frequency and resonance, you may want to try

modulating the filter. The next two controls set levels for envelope-controlled modulation.

Key/Depth

Octaver allows your playing to vary the center frequency of the filters. This control adjusts the

degree to which the input signal’s envelop shifts the filter’s center frequency.

Scale/Speed

Controls the sensitivity of the frequency sweeps to the input signal level.

Xnob

Controls the amount of distortion (FUZZ).

Ynob

Controls the mix of octaves [oct] and FUZZ [fz].
