Obsidiana Octave Layering Engine by Paradox Effects

The Obsidiana Octave Layering Engine by Paradox Effects is a multi-voice, polyphonic octave machine designed with two types of filters and a unique feature set. It features a 1 pole low pass filter and a 2 pole resonant low pass filter, each offering distinct characteristics. The pedal responds well to both chords and single notes, processing broad signal spectrums while seamlessly combining the power of a DSP with maintaining a completely analog direct signal for an overall warm and balanced voice.

Key Controls:
- OCTAVE DOWN: Controls the level of octave down.
- OCTAVE UP: Controls the level of octave up.
- DIRECT: Controls the Dry signal output.
- FILTER: 1p and 2p filter options with specific tonal adjustments.
- EXP: Expression pedal TRS input for controlling the filter parameter.
- LAG: Controls the space between the attack and the voice of the note or the octave ramifications.
- REGEN: Adjusts the feedback of the octaved signals to provide more upper and lower octaves to the overall wet signal.
- RAÍZ: Toggles between conventional octaver tracking and "crystalized" octaver with syncopated ramifications.
- VOZ: Toggles between Obsidiana voice and Shift voice mode.

The Obsidiana Octave Layering Engine is recommended to be used with a regulated 9 volt Dc power supply with specific dimensions and polarity for optimal performance.

The Raiz mode decomposes the sample signal to create routes with nested delays, forming soundscapes of octave particles, generating a syncopated sensation with each iteration. The pedal also offers a unique feature with branching octave trails that can create syncopated rhythms or layers of reflective evolving pitches.

The pedal's ability to create syncopated rhythms or layers of evolving pitches makes it suitable for a wide range of musical applications, from ambient textures to experimental soundscapes.
