        Quadravox/Octovox are 2 of the most innovative plugins I own. I think it’s time to redesign the interface to something more modern, with some additional features.

        1. Add a formant value to each entity to correct for the “Mickey Mouse” effect, for example, when a vocal pitch is raised.

        2. Have it follow the notes of a MIDI track with chords. This would allow you to play along with your own voice, possibly in realtime.

        3. More flashy interface, to compete with others out there. The current one is extremely functional and full of insanely great features, but it looks like an engineer made it, not a musician. I suspect most users have never used the delay, loop and key features, but instead just flounder with an interval trial until it “sounds right”.

        4. Possible overtone reverb effect, maybe with saturation and delay.

        i love these products and still use them in about half my productions, for creating sub-basses, vocal harmonies and brass choruses for example.
        A redesign could get a whole new audience for it.

          Hey, thanks for the kind words as well as the feature suggestions! All good ideas for us to consider in a future version.

          Regarding your 2nd suggestion, Octavox already allows MIDI control of the intervals. Does that suit your needs, or are you looking for something else?

            I’m uncertain how the MIDI function works in Octovox. I went through every YouTube video I could find but couldn’t find any practical examples of someone using it. Do you have anything showing a use-case? Thank you for your response.

                Hi,

                We don’t have any in-depth videos showing use cases (just this announcement video), but the user guide has an in depth description of the various MIDI modes (see section 2.4).

                Essentially, you use the MIDI input to play intervals that you’d like Octavox to harmonize at. For example, if you have your key and scale set to C Major, then playing C, E, and G into the plugin with MIDI would set intervals for unison, 3rd, and 5th. So if the incoming audio was playing a C, then you’d get C, E, G, out. Or if the incoming audio was playing an F, you’d get F, A, and C out, and so on.

                Hope that helps!
