Cut Frequency for Octaver / Pitch Shifter

multivir1 · Oct 10th 2014

Hello Kemper Team,

With the Boss OC-3 Octaver pedal you can set a cut frequency, so that only notes below a certain frequency will be octaved.
This is great to get a decent bass sound on the lower strings, but leave the higher frequencies uncluttered, because there is no octave effect on them.

Here's a good example:

Could you implement that in an upcoming firmware?

Good idea!

Cool. I wonder if something like this would be the answer to a more effective 12-string emulation (octave-up harmony below a certain pitch threshold, detuned unison above that threshold).

I don't think it could be as clean with chords, but I'm more than willing to be surprised.

+1 on this idea. Interesting.

Was just going to post this myself! Tremendous feature on the Boss pedal, and I have used it live as bass accompaniment on acoustic gigs as well as duos. Also something to behold with OD/distortion tones that emphasize bass runs while leaving the solo range clear. On the pedal you can actually dial in the note where it takes effect very easily - E3 and below for example. I actually sold my Boss OC3 when I ordered the Kemper, expecting it to be there. Maybe in V3.0?

This goes along with a request of mine: lowering certain notes by 1 oct
