Zodiak Taurus Mega Octavizer

What it does

An octavizer that rebuilds an incoming signal as five independent voices, direct, sub, bass, overtone and top, together covering five octaves. Each voice has its own volume, pan, mute, solo, detune, attack, delay send and switchable saturation with a tone control. A shared section adds EQ, cabinets, reverb and a compressor, and there are roughly 65 presets.

In the demo

Jade runs it on piano driven by Harmony Bloom, then an acoustic strummer, soloing each voice so the octave placement is audible before stacking them. She routes an LFO into the top and overtone voices to build moving drones, and finishes with it on a bass part in Logic.

Worth knowing

Preset changes click and pop audibly, so it is not something to switch between mid-take. The saturation is doing much of the character, and it needs pulling back for anything clean.
