Official effect
Currently a dry delay tap plus a synthetic octave phrase rather than a true octave loop recorder.
The current `Octave Looper` does not record and loop audio at an octave offset. Instead, it mixes a straightforward dry delay tap with a separately synthesized octave phrase. `motion` changes the delay-tap length, `mix` sets the overall wet amount, and the declared `shape` and `tone` controls are inactive.
Static peaks come from the compiled FAUST preview render. The live scope is drawn from the browser playback output in real time.
How It Works

Signal Path
Preview source: An internally generated picked-string phrase is widened to stereo as the dry source, and the current effect also layers a separately synthesized held or slowed phrase rather than capturing the live input into a loop buffer.

Dry phrase plus one delay tap and a separately synthesized octave phrase.
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 the dry phrase with both the delayed dry tap and the synthesized octave layer.
Higher settings make the delay-like repeat and the octave layer more obvious.
Applies final post-effect level trim after DC blocking and before the output limiter.
Matches loudness without changing the actual loop, freeze, or glitch structure.
Sets the delay time of the added dry repeat that sits beside the synthesized octave phrase.
Moves the delay-like repeat from tighter to longer spacing.
Declared in the shared control set but unused in the current preview code.
Changing it currently has no effect on the sound.

Analysis
Current implementation combines a simple delay tap with a fixed octave phrase rather than recording and replaying a loop, and the declared shape and tone controls are inactive.
No current warnings are attached to this effect.
