with_fx :octaver

This effect adds three pitches based on the input sound. The first is the original sound transposed up an octave (super_amp), the second is the original sound transposed down an octave (sub_amp) and the third is the original sound transposed down two octaves (subsub_amp).

The way the transpositions are done adds some distortion/fuzz, particularly to the lower octaves, whilst the upper octave has a ‘cheap’ quality. This effect is often used in guitar effects pedals but it can work with other sounds too. There’s a great description of the science behind this on Wikipedia here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octave_effect

Introduced in v2.2

Options

amp:

The amplitude of the sound. Typically a value between 0 and 1. Higher amplitudes may be used, but won’t make the sound louder, they will just reduce the quality of all the sounds currently being played (due to compression.)

Default: 1
Must be zero or greater
May be changed whilst playing
Has slide options to shape changes

mix:

The amount (percentage) of FX present in the resulting sound represented as a value between 0 and 1. For example, a mix of 0 means that only the original sound is heard, a mix of 1 means that only the FX is heard (typically the default) and a mix of 0.5 means that half the original and half of the FX is heard.

Default: 1
Must be a value between 0 and 1 inclusively
May be changed whilst playing
Has slide options to shape changes

pre_mix:

The amount (percentage) of the original signal that is fed into the internal FX system as a value between 0 and 1. With a pre_mix: of 0 the FX is completely bypassed unlike a mix: of 0 where the internal FX is still being fed the original signal but the output of the FX is ignored. The difference between the two is subtle but important and is evident when the FX has a residual component such as echo or reverb. When switching mix: from 0 to 1, the residual component of the FX’s output from previous audio is present in the output signal. With pre_mix: there is no residual component of the previous audio in the output signal.

Default: 1
Must be zero or greater
May be changed whilst playing
Has slide options to shape changes

pre_amp:

Amplification applied to the input signal immediately before it is passed to the FX.

Default: 1
Must be zero or greater
May be changed whilst playing
Has slide options to shape changes

super_amp:

Volume of the signal 1 octave above the input

Default: 1
Must be zero or greater
May be changed whilst playing
Has slide options to shape changes

sub_amp:

Volume of the signal 1 octave below the input

Default: 1
Must be zero or greater
May be changed whilst playing
Has slide options to shape changes

subsub_amp:

Volume of the signal 2 octaves below the input

Default: 1
Must be zero or greater
May be changed whilst playing
Has slide options to shape changes
