Official effect
Dry phrase plus one synthetic upper layer and short dry delays for a fixed doubled shimmer.
The current doubler family still relies on one separately synthesized auxiliary pitch phrase rather than real-time pitch shifting of the dry source. On top of that synthetic layer, it adds short dry-delay taps controlled by `blend`, so the extra width comes from small timing offsets and a fixed prewritten harmony phrase rather than an adaptive detune engine.
Static peaks come from the compiled FAUST preview render. The live scope is drawn from the browser playback output in real time.

Signal Path
Preview source: An internally generated picked-string phrase is widened to stereo as the dry source; the current pitch family mostly layers separately synthesized picked-string phrases over that demo rather than pitch-shifting the dry input in real time.

Dry phrase plus one separately synthesized auxiliary pitch phrase and short dry-channel doubler delays.
The static waveform and the live player both reflect this compiled signal chain.
These are the currently active controls detected in the FAUST source for this effect.
The generated description is tied to the active helper blocks and routing found in the current DSP.
Controls
Blends between the dry stereo preview phrase, the synthesized pitch layer, and the short delayed doubler taps.
Lower settings keep the dry phrase dominant; higher settings bring up both the synthetic layer and the widening doubles.
Applies final post-effect level trim after DC blocking and before the output limiter.
Matches loudness without changing the actual pitch-layer structure.
Raises the level of the synthesized pitch layer before it is mixed with the dry source.
Makes the auxiliary octave or detuned voice more prominent.
Adjusts the high-shelf shaping on the synthesized pitch layer and its offset right-channel copy.
Makes the auxiliary layer darker at low settings and brighter and more open at high settings.
Scales the short dry-delay taps that are added as a widening or doubling layer.
Adds more chorus-like spread and doubled body as it increases.
Analysis
Current implementation shares the same single auxiliary-voice plus short doubler-delay architecture across MicroPitch, 12-String Doubler, and Detune Doubler. 12-String Doubler currently uses a fixed auxiliary phrase rather than tracking live note onsets as a true octave-string doubler.
No current warnings are attached to this effect.
