What is OC-D2?
OC-D2 is an octave divider plug-in that generates signals one and two octaves be
low the original. It's based on the popular Boss OC-2 pedal, but with many more
features and customizability far beyond what other octavers offer (both pedal a
nd plug-in types).
It's unique from the Boss and other pedals (and other octaver plug-ins) in that
it offers:
- Controls to all the typically fixed values for low-pass filters - both on osci
llator outputs (changes tone from full square wave to pure sine, or anywhere in
between) as well as on the detection circuit (which can fine-tune the accuracy o
f the octave-divider's tracking).
- Option for two modes of operation: additive oscillators or phase-multiplier.
The additive mode simply mixes in the octave down signals (via user-adjustable l
evels and wet/dry balance), whereas the phase-multiplier mode flips the phase of
the key signal, following the state of the selected oscillator.
- In additive mode, dynamics for the oscillators can be controlled either by a n
oise gate or an envelope follower, both keyed off the input signal. In phase-mu
ltiplier mode, the full dynamics of the key signal are retained.
- A DC-offset switch corrects the input signal to improve tracking on rectified
or offset signals.
- A scope displays both the key signal and the output signal, so the use can see
how the plug-in is operating, and help identify what controls need to be adjust
ed in order to track more accurately or produce the intended sound. Includes a
"tuning" control to affect the zoom ratio.
- "Listen" radio buttons allow the user to tap the audio at any stage to hear wh
at's happening behind the scenes, and bypass certain sections if desired.
- Many users of the Boss OC-2 pedal seek to add a hardware modification that dis
ables the output filter and dynamics sections in order to produce a more synth-l
ike tone. This plug-in has the capability to easily reproduce this mod, by adju
sting only a few parameters.
