Why use it

What it doesFive voices on faders - two octaves down, two up, and your dry signal.

Reach for it whenBass that needs a sub underneath. Guitar lines that need a synth octave. Thickening a mono source.

What makes it differentYou build the stack rather than pick a preset shape. The sub is generated as a triangle, which keeps it cleaner on the low notes.

An octave pedal with five voices on faders — two octaves down, two up, and

your dry signal — so you build the stack instead of picking a preset shape.


VOICE MIX

· DRY OUTPUT

· −2 · −1 OCTAVE the sub. Rolled toward a triangle rather than a square,

so it sits under the note instead of buzzing against it

· +1 · +2 OCTAVE organ, twelve-string, ring


EFFECTS

· ATTACK swell the octaves in behind the pick

· LP FILTER take the fizz off the upper voices

· DETUNE drift the voices apart

· DRY FX run the effects on the dry signal too

· Q resonance on the filter


PRESETS

Eight banks on the panel — Sub Bass, Deep Sub, Octave Up, Organ,

12-String, Synth Swell, Ring Up, Full Stack. Hold a bank to save.


Watch the ghost above DRY FX — it splits. Pull the lower octaves up and a

big one fills in below; pull the upper octaves up and a small one appears

above. Feed it a chord and the lower one shivers, which is the divider

telling you it has lost the note.


WHAT'S NEW IN 1.6.2

· The output clipped for the first 7 ms: the first zero crossing was taken for a whole cycle and the sub-voice gain ran away. The start peak went from 1.0 to 0.63.

· Preset levels trimmed: Organ, Ring Up and Full Stack peaked at 1.252, 1.382 and 1.124 and now peak at 0.957, 0.991 and 0.981.

· The panel read HOLD TO SAVE PRESETS, but there is no save function. It now reads CLICK TO SELECT.

· The host no longer shows two identical Bypass parameters.

· Fixed a crash that could bring the host down: closing the plug-in window and then removing the plug-in left a timer running on freed data.

· Licence activation fixed: a bundle key now counts one activation per computer instead of one per plug-in, so one key covers five machines as stated.

· Rebuilt, re-signed and notarized for macOS (Universal) and Windows.

REGISTRATION

· The plug-in runs unrestricted for a 7-day trial from first launch, counted separately for each plugin.

· Your licence key is on your Gumroad receipt and on the download page.

· Paste it into the plug-in once — it needs internet that one time, then works offline.

· Message me on Gumroad if you need it reset for a new machine.
