The effect is meant to combine old styles of pitch shifting with the quality you expect from modern plug-ins. Pitchproof is an audio plug-in that can shift the pitch of the input.

So back to the Octaver OC-D2, some weird sounds but not really working for my electric violin, so gave that a miss.Aegean Music has released Pitchproof, a freeware harmonizer and pitch-shifter effect in VST plugin format for Windows based computers. If I ever get a hardware Octaver would be the TC Electronics Sub-N-Up or the Brainwaves. I tried out the real BOSS OC-2 and it really got mixed up with the sounds from my electric violin, so the fellow put me on to the Line6 M5 (Multi-effects pedal) which sounded great. It emulated all the bad features of the real Boss OC-2. I tried the Christopher Hooker's Octaver OC-D2, that was a bit of fun. I have the Native Instruments intro Guitar rig, most of these effects do not anything for my electric violin playing, I use my hardware Line6 POD for that instead. Sure there are the guitar rig VST's like Native Instruments and Line6 virtual Helix, but lot's of dollars just to get the Octaver. Tried the Grallion from Auburn Sounds, was nice for most of the cases but occasionally produced some nasty glitches that I did not like. As for the real time octavers, ended up getting the MeldaProductions MHarmonizer as it gave the sound I wanted and the price was right. Octaver in Reaper by setting the properties of the wave file after it has been recorded - Gold! Worked great. So that at least crosses out getting more memory for my iMac as a none solution.

Oh before I forget, I just tried out the Reaper octavers (like ReaPitch) on my son's PC which has more memory, faster CPU, more cores than my iMac - same problem, latency too high or just sounds horrible.

The other thing I want to do is weigh up my options of whether a hardware octaver and a software octaver is the more cost effective way. If it was not live, I would simply record as usual, render out that track and let audacity pitch it down x octaves and import back into reaper (which I have done before sucessfully), but it is live playing that I am after. Being a live improvisation, the latency needs to be low. So I want to turn my violin into a cello or double bass. I have some backing track in reaper, then I want to improvise live with the electric violin but shift the frequency down 1 or 2 octaves. I connect an electric violin into reaper (think electric guitar if you like) as an audio source. To answer one of the questions, what I want to do with it: Also it doesn't play any of Zebra's sounds, it requires you to create your own. Is not a pitch shifter, but can be a pitch tracking oscillator, but careful adjustment of the detector is needed. Zebrify (companion effect plugin of Zebra).

Might find it second hand for a low price because it was free for a limited time. Make sure tracking performs well enough for you.

Has adjustable buffer size which reduces latency (and quality) Not free (definitely demo any of these to make sure quality is acceptable in your use case):Ĭan handle polyphonic input. It may be possible to adjust the pitch detector settings to produce an acceptable tracking. Not a shifter but a pitch tracker controlling an oscillator. Some will have some latency, but it might still be acceptable depending on your needs.Īlso note that if you are monitoring your live/dry sound through Reaper, you can avoid latency being applied to your dry sound by disabling PDC for each plugin individually: I haven't found an awesome low latency shifter, but there are some that can be good enough. I have tried out some of the hardware octavers like the Line6 M5 (multi-effects pedal, octaver is one of it's effects) and it sounded good and latency was not a problem. Or are we backing a dead horse here, that VST based octavers at the moment are not practical, leaving us with the hardware octavers. Will be trying out on my son's PC which has more memory today.

Reaper CPU load is 13%, Reaper only using 700 Mb ram, so it appears neither the CPU nor memory is being taxed.

My computer specs are: iMac 2.8 GHz 4 core, RAM 4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3, circa year 2010, not an SSD hard drive. Has anyone had success with pitch shifters in Reaper so the sound quality is good and low latency and if so, what pitch shifter did you use and what are your computer specs? either the quality of the sound is not desirable or the latency is too poor. I have tried out the other pitch shifters, like: Unfortunately the latency is too high to be of practical use. I have been trying out the ReaPitch (Cockos) as an octaver effect for my audio (in my case an electric violin) rather than using a hardware octaver.
