Information
Red Panda
Red Panda Subdivision is an octave divider/subharmonic generator. It creates octave fuzz tones, synth sounds, or just fattens up your signal.
Mix any combination of:
- input signal
- octave up
- octave down
- two octaves down
- third or fifth down
The Subdivision doesn't convert your signal to a square wave or do digital pitch shifting. It's not a digital model of an analog octave fuzz or octave divider. Instead, we thought about the native digital way to accomplish the same effect and developed a new algorithm from scratch. The generated signals are synthetic, but retain the character of your input signal. There is an independent filter for each one, with a single frequency control. A sub tone control makes subtle changes in the harmonics.
- Controls:
- Dry level: off to +12 dB
- +1 octave level: off to +12 dB
- -1 octave level: off to +12 dB
- -2 octave level: off to +12 dB
- Subharmonic level: off to +12 dB
- Filter
- Suboctave tone (3 positions)
- Subharmonic (5th down, 5th below suboctave, 3rd below suboctave)
Technical Specs:
- Generates new signals with the following frequencies:
- One octave up
- One octave down
- Two octaves down
- Subharmonic, one of:
- (_5th) A fifth below one octave down (a just perfect fourth above two octaves down)
- (-5th) A fifth down (a just perfect fourth above one octave down)
- (_3rd) A just major third below one octave down (a just minor sixth above two octaves down)
- 100 MIPS DSP
- Stereo or mono operation
- Tap/bypass switch
- Requires 90 mA, center negative 9V DC power supply or 9V battery (we recommend using the Line 6 DC1 power supply)
