Rave Distortion

🔊 Welcome to Rave Generation: Rave Distortion. This plugin is an audio effect inspired by various hardware devices, including distortion and overdrive pedals, synthesizer filters, EQs, mixing consoles, and filter banks. It is designed to add warmth, character, and intensity to audio signals.🎛️ With a combination of high-pass, lowpass, and resonant peak filters capable of generating feedback loops, along with flexible saturation and distortion stages, this plugin offers a wide range of possibilities suitable for various musical genres and audio applications.🎶 Additionally, Rave Distortion is equipped with a dynamic low-frequency oscillator (LFO) integration. This LFO can be applied to modulate filter frequencies, providing rhythmic variations that are tempo-synced with your project.

USER INTERFACE - MAIN CONTROLS

1. PRE-HP (Pre-High-Pass): Controls the frequency cutoff of the resonant high-pass filter which removes low-frequency content from the input signal before processing. This is a 2-pole (second-order) resonant high-pass filter, providing a slope of 12dB/octave.2. HP RESO.: Adjusts the resonance of the high-pass filter. Capable of generating feedback.3. LP FREQ (Low-Pass Frequency): Adjusts the cutoff frequency of the low-pass filter. This 4-pole (fourth-order) filter, with a slope of 24dB/octave, is modeled after a well-known transistor ladder filter by cascading four one-pole filters in series. This design achieves a smooth and warm filtering effect, renowned for its distinctive sound and resonance in classic synthesis. The unique sound, especially when driven hard, results from its non-linear behavior, managed through polynomial approximations.4. LP RESO. (Low-Pass Resonance): The resonance parameter controls the feedback mechanism, shaping the filter's self-oscillation characteristics and enhancing its analog warmth.5. LFO RATE (Low-Pass LFO Rate): Sets the rate at which the low-pass filter frequency is modulated by the low-frequency oscillator, allowing rhythmic variations that sync to the tempo of the host DAW.6. LFO DEPTH (Low-Pass LFO Depth): Controls the depth of the modulation effect applied to the low-pass filter frequency by the LFO, affecting how dramatically the filter frequency changes.7. SAT. DRIVE (Saturation Drive): Adjusts the drive level for the saturation effect, controlling the intensity of harmonic distortion.8. DC BIAS: Introduces a continuous direct current (DC) offset into the signal path before saturation, altering the waveform symmetry and affecting the harmonic distortion for unique tonal shaping and dynamic effects.9. SAT. OUTPUT (Saturation Output): Sets the output level of the saturation effect.10. LM FREQ (Low-Mid Frequency): Controls the center frequency of the low-mid peak filter. This is a second-order peaking filter with a 12dB/octave slope on each side of the peak.11. LM WIDTH: Adjusts the bandwidth of the low-mid peak filter. Modeled after well-known American and German 8-bus mixing consoles. When the control is fully to the left (0.0), the bandwidth is 3 octaves (wide). When the control is fully to the right (1.0), the bandwidth is 1/12 octave (narrow). When the control is in the middle (0.5), the bandwidth is approximately 1.5417 octaves.12. LM GAIN: Sets the gain of the low-mid peak filter.13. DISTORTION 1: Controls the intensity of the first distortion stage.14. DRY/WET 1: Adjusts the balance between the dry (unprocessed) and wet (processed) signals for the first distortion stage.15. POST GAIN 1: Sets the output volume of the first distortion stage, useful for leveling after processing.16. HM FREQ (High-Mid Frequency): Controls the center frequency of the high-mid peak filter.17. HM WIDTH: Adjusts the bandwidth of the high-mid peak filter. Modeled after well-known American and German 8-bus mixing consoles. When the control is fully to the left (0.0), the bandwidth is 3 octaves (wide). When the control is fully to the right (1.0), the bandwidth is 1/12 octave (narrow). When the control is in the middle (0.5), the bandwidth is approximately 1.5417 octaves.18. HM GAIN: Sets the gain of the high-mid peak filter.19. DISTORTION 2: Controls the intensity of the second distortion stage.20. DRY/WET 2: Adjusts the balance between the dry (unprocessed) and wet (processed) signals for the second distortion stage.21. POST GAIN 2: Sets the output level of the second distortion stage.22. LF FREQ (Low Frequency): Adjust the low-frequency filter settings for shaping the bass content.23. LF GAIN: Sets the gain of the filter.24. OUTPUT: Sets the overall output level of the plugin.USER INTERFACE - ADDITIONAL CONTROLSPRECISE MOVEMENTS:

Sonic Spread

🎶 Welcome to Sonic Spread, a stereo utility plugin designed to enhance your stereo imaging and provide precise control over delay-based spatial effects. Sonic Spread is perfect for sound designers, music producers, and audio engineers who seek to add depth, width, and dimension to their mixes.🔊 This plugin excels at creating the Haas effect—a psychoacoustic phenomenon that enhances stereo imaging by introducing slight delays between the left and right channels. Additionally, Sonic Spread can emulate the classic Duophonic effect, popularized by Capitol Records in the 1960s. This effect simulates stereo sound from a mono source by splitting the signal into two channels, delaying one, and using frequency shaping. Specifically, bass frequencies are cut from one channel using a high-pass filter, while treble frequencies are cut from the other with a low-pass filter. This process creates an artificial stereo effect, which can be further enhanced with reverb and stereo echo.🎛️ Sonic Spread goes beyond basic stereo enhancement by offering precise control over multiple parameters such as delay, frequency filtering, volume adjustment, and pan positioning. Users can customize stereo width with dedicated controls for the mid and side channels, allowing for intricate balancing and mixing. Additionally, the built-in clipping protection ensures that no distortion occurs, making it suitable for both subtle enhancements and more aggressive stereo effects. Sonic Spread’s combination of these features makes it an indispensable tool for sound engineers aiming for professional-grade stereo imaging.

KEY FEATURES• Delay Control
Independently adjust the delay for the left and right channels, creating a wider stereo image.
• Stero Width Control
Precisely control the stereo width to widen or narrow the stereo field, enhancing the spatial characteristics of your audio.
• Frequency Shaping
Use high-pass and low-pass filters on both left and right channels for detailed tonal shaping.
• Volume and Pan Adjustments
Separate controls for mid and side channels allow you to balance the stereo field and control panoramic placement.
• Dry/Wet Mix
Adjust the blend between processed (wet) and unprocessed (dry) signals for flexible effect intensity.
• Clipping Protection
Built-in soft and hard clipping prevents any peaks above 0dB, ensuring a clean and distortion-free output.
