THE SOUND OF FORMING CRYSTALS
Obsidiana is an octave layering system in a polyphonic fashion, that sets
itself apart from other octaves out there, multi-voice, two type filter
options: 1 pole low pass, 2 pole resonant low pass filter, and a unique
feature with branching octave trails, that can create syncopated rhythms or
layers of reflective evolving pitches.
It responds well with both chords or single notes, able to process broad
signal spectrums; seamlessly combining the power of a DSP, whilst maintaining
a completely analog direct signal to maintain an overall warm and balanced
voice.
As an integral effort here at Paradox Effects, we endeavored into a
differentiator that could bring you a new spectrum of possibilities for a
pedal of this kind, always fulfilling musical and functional needs.
Raiz mode consists in the decomposition of the sample signal, to create routes
with nested delays that form soundscapes of octave particles, generating a
syncopated sensation with each iteration.
CONTROLS
OCTAVA : Controls the level of octave down.
OCTAVA : Controls the level of octave up.
DIRECTO: Controls the Dry signal output.
RETARDO: In Raiz 1 (OFF) mode, it controls the space between the attack
and the voice of the note, similar to a Lag control. In Raíz 2 (ON) mode, it
controls the space between the octave ramifications.
REGEN: Feedback of the octaved signals to provide more upper and lower
octaves to the overall wet signal, creating a similar sensation to a sustained
organ note.
FILTRO: [Press once Voz and Raíz buttons simoultaneously to access 1p or
2p Filter].
1p (Blue LED): A low-pass filter, brighter when turned to the right,
darker to the left.
2p (Violet LED): Second order low-pass resonant filter, sounds more of a
synthesizer; moving the “Filtro” knob or expression pedal you’ll have more
drastic and spatial changes.
RAÍZ:
Raíz 1 (OFF): Conventional octaver tracking the input signal in function
with the “Retardo”(Lag) knob.
Raiz 2 (ON): “Crystalized” octaver with syncopated ramifications,
generating granulated maps of octaves that evolve in time, depending on the
position of the “Regen” knob.
EXP: Expression pedal TRS input, it controls the “Filtro” parameter, the
knob still determines the MAX/MIN sweep of the filter.
VOZ:
Voz 1 (OFF) – Obsidiana voice: Clear and crystalline octaves, with a
touch of warmth and presence.
Voz 2 (ON) – Ancient voice: Voice with frequency modulations, sounds
similar to a Leslie organ.
SPECIFICATIONS
Power Supply………………………………… 9v Dc (No baterry option)
Min. Current Draw………………………….100mA
Dimensions…………………………………….95(W) x 125(D) x 55(H)mm (with jacks and knobs)
Weight……………………………………………350g
We recommend using a regulated de 9 volt Dc power supply with our pedals,
2.1mm diameter positive barrel and negative center. Using one with poor
regulation, not isolated and poor filtering can result in unexpected noise or
unwanted higher voltages that can take the pedal out of operation and even
cause damage.
