Description : Nembrini Audio announces the release of the Quinta Pitch Machine plugin in the style of a pedal octave
The Quinta Pitch Machine plugin is more than your standard octave as it not only gives the control +1 fifth to the standard up/down octave against the ability of most hardware octaves, with the exception of the miniature Danish model from which it draws inspiration in software.
Obviously, octave pedals transpose guitar signals an octave up or down, providing the perfect effect for amplifying the sound of guitar riffs. It’s clear that classic octave doubling sounds amazing, as evidenced by numerous classical recordings, but the addition of a fifth up in addition to the standard octave up/down capabilities of most hardware octavers gives guitarists a lot more options to create a whole new world. This is where the Quinta Pitch Machine plays the role of an octave pedal-style plug-in with a difference – adding an extra +1 FIFTH control to the mix.
Musically, each of the three intervals available to Quinta Pitch Machine users can be dialed individually using the volume controls – +1 OCTAVE by adding a note that is one octave higher than the note played on the instrument being processed, -1 OCTAVE by adding a note which is one octave lower than the note being played, and +1 FIFTH adds a note that is a fifth higher than the note being played, so the sonic possibilities include organ, synthesizer, and 12-string guitar sounds. Of course, it’s natural to play single power chords as another result.
Control continues with MIX, which adjusts the balance between the natural (unprocessed) signal coming from the instrument being played and the configuration of added octaves and fifths set with these three volume controls to create the desired pitch-shifted sound, while the ‘LED ‘ at the top of the colorful GUI indicates when the effect is on or off, working in conjunction with the switch to turn the effect on or off. Turning on or off also applies to the HIGH Q switch; when enabled, the pitch bending algorithm works with high quality, although it introduces a delay that the DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) compensates for.
