FYI, I’m using Octavox in Logic v11.1.2 on an M1 Mac running Sequoia v15.3.2.
Just downloaded Oxtavox for the first time. First off, the lack of latency is amazing! I was hoping I could rely on such a plugin and not need hardware for live performance. Looking forward to using it with MainStage.
After reading through the docs I found myself still wondering about a few things. It kind of seems like the docs were written for a newer version of Octavox.
- I can’t seem to get the delay for individual voices to be longer than 2.4 ms.
- The docs suggest there is a “Tempo Based” button somewhere in the area of the “Key” and “Tune” buttons but I don’t see it anywhere.
- Please see the attached screenshot for my view of the plugin.
- I’d love to be able to set my delay using interval-based vernacular (1/4, whole, 18th Triplet, etc) rather than ms. Is that possible?
- In one particular case, I’d like the delay to be a whole note. With my tempo of 68 BPM, the apparent max of 2.4 ms is not long enough to way a whole bar.
- The docs suggest there is a “Tempo Based” button somewhere in the area of the “Key” and “Tune” buttons but I don’t see it anywhere.
- I also can’t seem to get MIDI to do anything.
- The docs indicated the differences between the “Routed” and “Gated” variants but neither seems to have an influence on the plugin’s output.
- I know my MIDI keyboard is reaching Logic as other tracks will play sound.
- While playing back audio that indeed invokes the plugin’s functionality, playing anything on my keyboard doesn’t seem to have any effect on the output.
Help on these two issue would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hello,
Glad to hear you are enjoying the plug-in. Answers below:
1. The max delay time for any voice or the total loop delay is 2.4 seconds.
1a. Under the “Scale” dropdown menu there is a “Sync” dropdown menu. If you select “Session” the plug-in will sync to your DAW’s tempo.
1b. In the musical notation section of the UI, you can drag the notes for tempo based divisions. For example, at 120 BPM drag one of the notes right by 1 quarter note on the notation UI, and you can see that the delay time will be set to 500 ms.
1c. Correct, the total delay time cannot go above 2.4 seconds. The notation UI reflects this and will scale down when using slower BPMs.
2. For MIDI control using Logic, you need to create a new instrument track, and select the plugin as the instrument (it will be listed under AU MIDI-Controlled Effects->Eventide->Plugin Name). Then, select the track with the audio you want to process in the Sidechain menu in the top right of the plug-in window. Now, if you have the instrument track selected, you should be able to play/record MIDI notes affecting the source audio.
Let me know if that helps.
