Transpose is definitely the best option in my opinion. ![]() I wouldn't use Harmonic Pitch shift because it can also give strange results with notes passing notes. The Analog Octaver stomp presumably tries to recreate this for the sake of authenticity. The strange sound you mention is because the original octave pedals were monophonic so they get confused when you play two notes simultaneously. I've been having a little play around with it too this afternoon.Īnalog Octaver is OK but not great. I used to play bass for 4 years in a band approx. I can't say if this is due to a slight detuning of the strings.Ī noticeable improvement is the proposed use of bass profiles from the factory setting. Not as much as pedal pitch and the others. But it doesn't have a format shifter and is sometimes very strange when playing 2 notes. "Transpose" with -12 gives me the most authentic sound at the moment. "Analog Octaver" doesn't make a 2nd voice with Voice Balance +50 and Mix +50, but also strange effects when I hit 2 notes. "Chromatic Pitch" has a similar behavior. With Mix =+50 no second voice but interferences if I play 2 tones at same time. I want to be able to play in all keys without tweak.īesides, I still hear the original signal. "Harmonic Pitch" has formant shift but expected input at Voice 1 and Voice 2 and the input of a key. It comes however immediately to Intereferencen if I play 2 tones at same time. There is a "pedal pitch" - but I don't want a pitch pedal (if the heel and toe pitch is set to -12 I can play at least 1 octave lower - but I can't find a formant shifter). I don't find an effect "Pitch shifter", despite eagerly turning the browser and/or Type Knob, When I mentioned Analog Octaver, I was referring to the Kemper effect in the Pitchshifter. Either way, whether it's my DI or Harry's Strat, having a bit of extra bite on the top end will probably make for much better definition of the bass lines. ![]() So, to keep the bass from washing out the entire song, I find I have to do some high pass filtering that again can diminish the bass. With earbuds (at least Apple's), the sub frequencies are massively hyped. Without earbuds, the bass can disappear almost completely, so the Motown trick can help keep the bass line from vaporizing. I assume Harry's focusing on live applications so he won't have to fight this battle, but one of the challenges of modern mixing is that it's very common for people to listen on their cell phones or pads. I'm going to experiment with including some of the DI along with the Kemper, perhaps EQed a bit to emphasize the higher end. It was a common technique back in the Motown era to have a guitar doubling the bass line to help it cut through. I would also try mixing in just a little of the normal guitar signal for some attack. Good Bass player do this by heart or they know that. It is a fundamental phenomenon that a bass tone develops noticeably slower in the room and that you have to play bass sometimes before the beat, depending on the music style. With training you can compensate this with playing but not if you hear both signals. That's as much as I remember and if I calculated right about 6 or 12 ms at the deep E (about 82 Hz) depending on whether you tilt the negative side of the wave upwards or not in analog or digital mode and then analyze it. My previous attempts with the transpose function have not given me much reason to complain about this, but rather an irritation, because the transpose function causes some latency.Įven Kemper cannot fool the physics and for the frequence analysis of a tone at least 2 half waves are necessary. I do not have an analog octave stomp to compare. I'm pretty shure that it's possibleup to certain level but i do not know the secrets. As for getting the Strat to fulfill the bass duties, it is never going to be perfect but I’m sure you can get a decent sound.
