Hi everyone, I’m having trouble with an acoustic preset and hoping someone can help.
I found a tutorial somewhere on emulating the polyphonic octave effect of the Boss OC-5. It works by setting a split crossover at a low frequency (I have mine at 100 Hz) and directing that path to a pitch shift set to -12 interval. This gives me the option to add “bass notes” when playing with my acoustic duo. Very useful.
However, when I engage the crossover I’m losing brightness and volume from my original, un-pitch-shifted path. My top end significantly dulls.
Any ideas what I need to tweak?
- Helix LT (firmware 3.60.0)
- global eq off
- problem occurs with all output options and in both stereo and mono versions of the preset
- signal path splits after preamp, EQ, and compressor, and rejoins before some subtle reverb, a return for some foot percussion pads, and my looper
