Distortion VST Plugins

A Crush On Music

Distortion and saturation play a very important role in music production. From subtle, clean and warm tube or tape saturation to the wildest multiband guitar amp effects: FabFilter Saturn 2 delivers.

Saturn 2 introduces a host of new features such as a redesigned interface with modulation visualization, new subtle saturation and linear phase processing for mastering, many new distortion styles, and more.

Warmth, Harmonics, Colour and Dynamics

FabFilter Saturn 2 offers a range of different high-quality distortion models, inspired by the vintage sound of tubes, tape, transformers and guitar amps. In addition, you get five creative FX distortion styles to mangle your sounds in weird and unexpected ways.

With its multiband design and per-band feedback, dynamics, drive, tone and modulation options, Saturn 2 will bring a unique flavour to your music.

Bring Your Sounds to Life

Add life and depth to your music using the extensive modulation section. By applying subtle modulation to crossover frequencies, dynamics, band levels or tone controls, great warmth and definition can be achieved.

With all the XLFOs, EGs, XY controllers/sliders, envelope followers and MIDI sources you will ever need, you get practically unlimited modulation possibilities. Creating new modulation connections could not be easier: just drag and drop. And Saturn 2 visualizes all modulation in real-time to show exactly what’s going on.

FabFilter Goodies

Finally, FabFilter Saturn 2 contains all the usual FabFilter goodies: perfectly tuned knobs, MIDI Learn, Smart Parameter Interpolation for smooth parameter transitions, interface resizing and full-screen mode, support for Avid control surfaces, GPU-powered graphics acceleration, extensive help with interactive help hints, SSE optimization, and much more.

Redoptor 2, a Vintage Tube Distortion, is the second generation of D16’s first FX Plugin from the SilverLine Collection series.

The organic sound of a tube amplifier being pushed into breakup has been the gold standard for overdriven and distorted tones for as long as musicians have been intentionally distorting their signals. The gentle natural compression and rich blend of even and odd harmonics produced by analog tube circuitry make any effected signal feel more powerful, punchy, and alive.

Unlike solid-state transistor and fuzz circuits which only produce odd harmonics and limit the incoming signal in an unnatural and unresponsive way, Redoptor 2 smoothly and dynamically responds to the changes in volume of incoming audio, just like a real tube amplifier.

This means that louder sounds are saturated with more crunch and delicious harmonics, while softer and naturally decaying sounds clean up gradually. This creates a very sonically pleasing distortion.

Redoptor 2 comes with several new features improving user experience, which provides more control over the effect:

• exact tube and tube’s circuits emulation
• crossfade between tube and transistor distortion
• adjustable power of new harmonics
• tunable preamp filters
• fully equipped parametric equaliser
• presets organised into groups
• midi learn function
• 64bit internal processing
• multi-mode distortion’s quality adjustment
• Preamp with built-in compressor
• Output limiter
• Fully equipped parametric equalizer with frequency ranges expanded in version 2
• Tag based preset browser
• Two alternative GUI sizes
• MIDI-learn functionality throughout
• AAX compatibility

Devastor 2 is the second generation of D16’s first FX Plugin from the SilverLine Collection series.

Devastor is a deceptively simple yet remarkable Multiband Distortion Unit. It is an enhanced version of the distortion unit you can find in Phoscyon, but with full control over multiband processing. This elevates its sonic mangling capabilities to an entirely new level! Structure The plug-in consists of four essential blocks:

• Dynamics-flattener module (one-knob controlled input signal compressor)
• Diode-clipper distortion
• Three multi-mode filter sections
• Optionally activated signal limiter

The plug-in offers nine different connection topologies between its filters and diode-clipper. Filters can process the signal before or after it gets fed into the diode-clipper, but some of the configurations even allow the filters to work alongside the clipper, which greatly increases the possible sonic palette. Devastor’s filters are not simply the peaking EQ type which are commonly used in classic multiband distortion units: rather, they are like those found in analog synthesizers (low pass, high pass, band pass and band reject) with adjustable resonance and cutoff parameters. As a result, Devastor has a completely unique sound. Just check out the factory content and hear for yourself! Versatile and advanced Devastor can be used to distort and enhance a wide range of sounds, from full-on acid synth sounds to guitar fuzz or an analog amp with speaker combo. It can even be used with drums to make them sound dirtier and more dynamic! Devastor isn’t just good at creating distorted, monster sounds: it can also be used subtly to improve the timbre and character of gentler sounds. For example, reducing the preamp gain, increasing the threshold, and selecting a soft-knee for the dynamics will bring out more warmth and detail in a sound without introducing distortion. When designing Devastor, we applied special antialiasing techniques to the output signal to make sure it was devoid of aliasing (one of the reasons why digital distortion units can sound so cold and un-musical). As a result, Devastor has a warm, musical, and very high quality sound. We would like to invite you to listen the audio examples to whet your appetite and to check out the demo version for yourself if you need any more convincing. Devastor uses algorithms of such high quality that you’d be forgiven in a blind test for wondering if the sound has somehow been sent from the computer to an external analog distortion unit and back into the computer again!

MDistortionMB is an extremely versatile distortion plugin designed mainly for guitars and synths.

Thanks to its multiband core, it can be used on any track or even applied to the whole mix. Subtle or be over-the-top, it produces everything from mild clean amps to completely sick devastated disturbances.

Features

• Generalized amp simulation – MDistortionMB implements a generalized amp simulation, rather than providing particular existing amps. It can simulate a whole set of amps and contains a set of 12 predefined sounds organized by styles, such as metal or rock.
• 5 purely digital distortion algorithms are provided as a supplement for those who really need a unique sound. All of them are combined together and with the amp simulation, can provide the power you always dreamed of.
• Dual user interface – the plugin is not only extremely versatile, but also quick and easy-to-use thanks to 2 graphical user interfaces. First there is a simple default one with several predefined modes, but just a few controls, which lets you start quickly and easily without any knowledge. All you need to do is choose what you want and use a few knobs. And the plugins also has an advanced mode, which provides all the extreme features the plugin offers.
• 1-6 fully configurable independent bands built on 3 perfectly transparent crossover algorithms (analog, linear-phase and hybrid) with fully adjustable limits and input gains. Includes peak meters for all bands and the master.
• Continuously adjustable oscillator shape – every oscillator in our plugins is defined by a mix of predefined oscillator shapes, custom waveforms edited using our MeldaProduction Envelope System (MES), step-sequencer and several methods for algorithmic postprocessing. It is the most advanced approach for defining oscillator shapes.  
• 4 global modulators – in each instance you can have up to 4 fully-featured modulators that can modulate any set of parameters including other modulators! In this way you can make the sound move in time, be less static and more interesting. Each modulator works as LFO, follower, midi/audio triggered ADSR envelopes, a pitch detector or even a combination.
• Up to 8 channels surround processing – our plugins can handle not only mono and stereo signals, but also up to 8 channels of surround audio, making them ideal for audio production for movies, games etc.
• Full randomization – using a single button you can generate completely new settings. By clicking the button you can walk through the billions of possible settings and find the best one for you! And if that’s too much, you can just hold ctrl and MDistortionMB will only slightly modify existing settings.
• Adjustable up-sampling 1x-16x to minimize aliasing and get an even clearer sound.
• Extremely advanced and easy-to-use user interface – our products are always designed to enhance the workflow. You can easily change all values, fine-tune each control in multiple ways. Easy orientation in a standardized GUI, textual editing and smooth visualization with almost unlimited zooming are standard in all of our plugins. Moreover our plugins are the world first (and still the only ones), which support resizable and stylable GUI’s.
• Automatic synchronization to host tempo – every oscillator and modulator in the plugin can automatically synchronize to the host providing as natural a sound as possible while not offending other tracks.
• MIDI controllers with MIDI learn – you can map any parameter to any MIDI controller or MIDI keyboard and control it realtime or record and automate it.
• Very fast, optimized for SSE and SSE2 processors.
• Global preset management and online preset exchange – using a title button you can save your settings (which are shared on the computer) so you can easily access these in other songs. Moreover all plugins can automatically share your presets and download presets of other users from our servers (if this feature is enabled). We are building a community and you can be a part of it!
• Fully Automatable.

Windows PC ONLY. Not compatible with MAC OS.

Are your leads missing that crisp and sparkling sound that top producers love? Blowfish was built to fulfill that goal.

Blowfish slaps the input signal with a complex chain of distortions and adds a side-chained bright topping on the sound transients. What results is a very sparkling and shiny sound with that crisp garnish that you can hear in professional productions.

A broad range of controls are here to help you tailor the sound you need.

• Dry Wet allows you to blend the original signal with the one at the end of the processing chain, while Out Gain controls the output volume.
• Blow controls the gain of a sidechained bright noise over the transiants of the input signal.
• Sparkles sets the drive for the first stages of the distortion algorithm.
• Brightness controls the intensity for the last stage in the distortion chain which soften the heavily distorted harmonics.

MBitFunMB is a serious tool for extreme distortion lovers. It converts incoming audio into limited fixed-point precision of 1-16 bits per sample and lets you access each bit with several operations and finishes the processing with a low-pass filter. All with up to 6 independent bands, 4 modulators…

FROM LIGHT DISTORTION TO MAXIMUM BRUTALITY

Bit changing 16th bit you won’t do much, but it can still give you the missing character. The true power is however in the brutality the plugin is capable of. 4 processors can mess up any bit,merge them with shifted versions of the same sample, a delayed sample or even anything you send through the plugin’s sidechain. Limitless creativity and mainly fatal results.

MODULATION HEAVEN

Looking for a little extra variation in your sound? Look no further than our extensive modulation options. Modulate any parameter from sources such as an LFO, audio level follower, envelope generator, randomize, or pitch detector. Your sound will never be static again.

MELDAPRODUCTION GOODIES

You can also expect to find the standard MeldaProduction goodies: 16x upsampling, M/S, surround support as well as other channel modes, A-H presets for easy comparisons, and our easy to use integrated help system.

Features

The most advanced user interface on the market – stylable, resizable, GPU accelerated

• Modern user interfaces must not only be easy and quick to use, but also versatile and the whole visual appearance should inspire you. MBitFunMB features the most advanced GUI engine on the market. It is still the first and only GUI engine, which is freely resizable and stylable. It also lets you choose between knobs, sliders or buttons, whichever you like the most. 
• The plugin can look as an ancient vintage gear, if you are working on old-school rock music. Or as super-modern futuristic device if you are working on modern electronic music. 
• If your display doesn’t have a high resolution, you can make the plugin smaller. If the fonts are too small, you can make the plugin bigger and save your eyes. 
• All the graphics is accelerated using your GPU, graphical interface, providing ultimately quick response and keep your CPU focused on the audio.

Unique visualisation engine with classic meters and time graphs

• Your ears should always be the main judge, but a smart metering system can often be a huge help. MBitFunMB provides the most advanced metering system out there. The plugin can display the measurements of all relevant values using classic meters, or it can even show them in time using the time graphs. Everything is customisable as usual.

1-6 fully configurable independent bands

• MBitFunMB provides 3 perfectly transparent crossover algorithms (analog with slopes from 12dB/oct to 120dB/oct, linear-phase and hybrid) with fully adjustable limits, input gains and input panoramas. The audio quality of all of these algorithms is the maximum money can buy. The plugin provides metering for each of the bands and the master.

4 exceptionally versatile modulators

• MBitFunMB provides 4 fully-featured modulators which can control any set of parameters including other modulators. Each modulator works as an LFO, level follower, midi/audio triggered ADSR enveloper, randomizer or pitch detector, or even a combination and can listen to the plugin’s side-chain. 
• You can make the sound move in time, be less static and more interesting. You can make various parameters depend on the input (or the sidechain) level or even listen to the input pitch.

Adjustable oscillator shape technology

• Every oscillator in MBitFunMB uses the most versatile oscillator algorithm on the market. It provides mix of predefined oscillator shapes, custom waveforms edited using our MeldaProduction Envelope System (MES), a step-sequencer and several methods for algorithmic postprocessing. 
• It also provides a harmonic mode, which lets you control the harmonic content instead of oscillator shape. This is especially useful for high frequency oscillators.

4 multiparameters

• MMultiBandBitFun lets you control multiple parameters using a single so-called multiparameter. This may not only come handy for automation for example, but the multiparameters are very smart units and you can use them to smartly morph between banks of settings for example. All in the name of creativity!

M/S, single channel, up to 8 channels surround processing…

• MBitFunMB can handle not only mono and stereo signals, but also mid/side encoding for stereo field processing, separate left & right channels, separate mid or side signal and up to 8 channels of surround audio. It is perfect for audio production for music, movies, games…

Smart randomization

• Being creative is sometimes complicated and one often needs an inspiration. By clicking a single button you can walk through the billions of possible settings and find the best one for you. The smart randomization algorithm wisely selects good sounding combinations of parameters. It can even randomize modulators for you. And if that’s too much, you can just hold ctrl and MBitFunMB will just slightly modify existing settings.

Automatic gain compensation (AGC)

• Most plugins change loudness of the output audio, which makes browsing presets inconvenient, not mentioning randomization. MBitFunMB includes automatic gain compensation, which quickly adapts to current settings and ensures the output sounds as loud as the input. This even protects you from thinking that something sounds better in cases it is just louder.

Safety limiter

• Some plugins can intensely increase gain when exposed to specific audio materials. MBitFunMB provides a safety brickwall limiter, which ensures the output stays below 0dB and prevents your equipment and your ears from potential danger automatically.

Adjustable up-sampling 1x-16x

• Digital audio provides very superior audio quality compared to ancient analog gear, but there are problems too. The main problem is the aliasing, which may be noticeable, when using nonlinear processes such as compression or saturation. MBitFunMB includes both minimum-phase and high-quality linear-phase upsampling algorithms, which avoids the aliasing.

Synchronization to host tempo

• Every oscillator and modulator in the plugin can automatically synchronize to the host. But it can be out-of-sync if you want of course.

MIDI controllers with MIDI learn

• MMultiBandBitFun contains a powerful MIDI processor, which listen to MIDI controllers and MIDI keyboard and control any parameters realtime.

Extremely fast, optimized for newest AVX capable processors

• Computers are now extremely fast, but the algorithms are more complex and projects bigger, so we still need to use the processing power with care. MBitFunMB uses the fastest algorithms, takes advantage of the newest processor capabilities, lets your GPU hangle the graphics, and shares the resources with other MeldaProduction plugins. The plugin is among the fastest on the market, yet it provides the best possible audio quality.

Global preset management and online preset exchange

• MMultiBandBitFun presets are carefully stored in a system database and you can quickly access then from any project in any host. The plugin can automatically share your presets and download presets of other users from our servers. We are building a community and you can be a part of it!

Supports VST, VST3, AU and AAX interfaces on Windows & Mac, both 32-bit and 64-bit

• MBitFunMB supports all major hosts on both platforms. Check system requirements for information about compatibility and installation.

No dongle nor internet access is required for activation

• How many times did you forget your USB dongle? We are an honest company and expect the same from our customers. Our software uses licence files to activate your software. And the licences are to-person, so you can use it on all your computers as long as you are the user.

Free-for-life updates

• When you buy the software you are entitled to free updates, forever. No more money wasted on major upgrades like it is with other companies. And we upgrade our software a lot!

Drive your Tone from Creamy Saturation to a Brutal Sonic Assault

CrushStation is a versatile, best-in-class, stereo distortion platform for your Mac or PC. Its controls can drive your tone from creamy saturation to a brutal sonic assault. But distortion is just the starting point. CrushStation brings multi-effects to the mix by adding a three-band EQ, Compression, Octave Mix and, Eventide’s unique take on failing hardware, the Sag control.

Use the MIX Control to blend your dry signal with CrushStation to create parallel compression, distortion, and other creative effects.

Fix, Fit & Feature

CrushStation’s combination of ingredients creates a plugin that excels at the three broad ways distortion effects can be deployed. FX expert and author, Alex Case, refers to them as the “3Fs”: FIT, FIX and FEATURE:

• FIX” a weak snare track by adding just a bit of Grit & Compression.
• “FIT” finesse the lead into your mix by adding a bit of warmth and bottom.
• “FEATURE” the lead by crushing it ‘til it hurts.

Features

• 35 PRESETS painstakingly tailored to cover all the bases.
• DRIVE from shallow subtle boost to deep overdrive distortion.
• GRIT and SUSTAIN push into fuzz territory.
• SAG was inspired by Eventide’s experience of the sound of dying analogue gear; the power rail sags and the amp starts sputtering, cutting out and sounding ‘broken’.
• MIX in higher and lower OCTAVES then turn up the DRIVE and SUSTAIN to crush them together to form massive new textures.
• GRIT for low-end, gritty, chugging sounds.
• 3-Band EQ to shape your tone.
• GATE your signal to tame an aggressive distortion output, or get aggressive with high threshold gating and dry MIX for parallel gated crunch.
• RIBBON lets you ‘play’ the effect in real-time and provides dynamic and fluid control to morph back and forth between the settings of your choice.
• HOTSWITCH allows you to instantly switch between two different distinct settings within the same preset at the push of a button.
• MIXLOCK keeps MIX control constant as you audition presets.
• Available for Mac and PC as VST, AAX, and AU plug-in.

Play It Live

Originally developed for the Eventide H9 Harmonizer® pedal, CrushStation has been enhanced for experimentation and live performance and fine-tuned for your desktop, laptop or iPad. Like all H9 series plug-ins, CrushStation is designed to ‘play’. The Ribbon lets you sweep the effect between two completely different settings. On one end you can have a gritty dark EQ, and on the other a wall of sound using heavy Compression, Sag, and Octaves during a solo or intense transition. Even a dramatic effect can become boring if it remains static throughout a track. Use the Ribbon to add a bit of ‘life’ while you’re mixing. For desktop users, plug in a MIDI keyboard and gain control of the Ribbon via the mod wheel for tactile and nuanced morphs and sweeps.

Presets Make It Easy

The plug-in comes loaded with 35 Factory Presets that cover the many ways that you’ll want to use it. Presets capable of adding spice, flair, crude and crunch to suit a variety of production styles. Get guitars, bass and synth to sit perfectly in the mix by dialling in warmth and depth with “PunkRock Lobster.” The Grit control in “Fat n Snappy” adds preamp-style distortion that can help bring out kicks in the mix with. “Big Pop Octaves” adds subtle distortion and lower octaves for unique pitch blending vocal effects. Further fine-tune your sound using the three-band EQ to tame cymbals and vocal sibilance. 

Distortion Filter

Distiller – a distortion filter from Diginoiz! Since gain of some early guitar amp was cranked up for the first time, distortion became an acknowledged tool for enhancing sound. And when a filter was added to an early subtractive synth, filtering became an indispensable way of carving timbre.

Distiller equally focuses on these two pillars of sound creation as it combines over dozen types of distortion and a wide selection of filters. What makes it special and modern is the possibility to blend between two types of distortion and the fact that both the filter cutoff and the blend between distortion types can be controlled by separate LFOs.

From removing unwanted frequencies to adding rich harmonics, from classic saturation to experimental wavetable distortion, from lo fi textures creation to contemporary bass sound design – Distiller does it all and much more!

Features

• 29 filter types including one pole and cascade filters, state variable classic filters (which add gain to the passband when slope gets steeper) and state variable precise filters (which don’t add gain to the passband when the slope gets steeper).
• Low-Pass and High-Pass: 6dB 1 Pole, 12dB Cascade, 12 and 24 SVF Classic, 12, 24, 36, and 48 SVF Precise. Band-Pass, Notch and All-Pass: 12 and 24 SVF Classic, 12, 24, 36, and 48 SVF Precise.

BDE has an auto-levelling function, allowing you to perfectly level out your signal in under 2 seconds. Simply click the detect button, press play on the desired sound, and click once again to lock in the perfect signal level for optimal use.

Complete Control

BDE features a bandpass function allowing you to apply distortion to specific sections of frequency while keeping the rest of your signal clean. In addition, there’s an M/S function allowing you to apply distortion across any aspect of the stereo field. If you want your sides distorted, with the middle portion of your signal clean, BDE has got you covered.

Instant Energy, Depth & Character

Escalator is a combination of compression, saturation & distortion that allows you to quickly colour your sound with a variety of flavours.

Instantly energize your sound with the turn of a knob. Apply lighter settings to get thicker sounds without the mud or ‘crank it’ for a more aggressive sound without all that harshness.

Key Features

• The lower value ranges saturate your sound while maintaining the transients
• As the value range increases, the more Saturation and Softclipping is applied. Pinning the transients in place and focusing the overall dynamic range
• The more extreme value range will start to apply a distortion to your overall signal

Kick sustains became a techno standard and are tedious to create: sidechained reverb, low-end imaging, compression, eq, distortion… Rumble crafts them faster and better.

Rumble detects spurious frequencies in the low-end and chains several notch filters with specially crafted reverbs to treat them differently. These feedback reverbs can create rumbles ranging from very short to infinite.

The output is equalized, distorted and filtered again using a very steep band-pass filter.

All of those elements are customizable and allow to blend between a very rough and a very smooth rumble.

A broad range of controls are here to help you tailor the sound you need.

• Dry Gain is the output volume of the original, untouched kick.
• Wet Gain is the output volume of the rumble. You can choose either to blend the kick and the sustain directly in Rumble or to output only the sustain in order to post-process it, for instance with sidechain.
• Rumble controls the length of the rumble sustain.
• Filter controls the amount of output band-pass filtering. A higher setting will result in a cleaner rumble while a lower setting will produce a gritty rumble.
• Drive controls the amount of distortion in the last processing stage. This distortion is only applied to the wet band-filtered signal, hence this knob will only be effective if the FILTER knob is not set to zero.

SpeakerSim is a realistic emulation of different types of speakers with their own acoustics and environments. This processor can be used for these purposes: Checking your mix in different monitor systems, Music productions, TV or Movie audio post productions

The Slate Digital VIRTUAL TUBE COLLECTION is a set of three plugins for Virtual Mix Rack that recreate the sound of classic vintage tube circuits.

Each module can act as a preamp, a saturator, and even a virtual tube summing console. Using VTC, you can add color, warmth, depth, and vibe to your mixes and masters. VMS users can also use VTC preamps with the microphone models for rich and vibey tone on their tracks.

The Modules

London: London is inspired by some vintage tube circuits originating from Europe. The sound is big, warm and bold in the lows and low mids, and slightly smooth in the top end. The transient response has a slight thickness to it without being overly aggressive. London sounds amazing for fattening up tracks in preamp mode, or thickening things up with it’s preamp saturation, and can add fat analog body in Console mode on the whole mix.

New York: New York is inspired by some vintage tube circuits with a hint of inspiration from some New York solid state discrete circuits to give it some tightness and impact. New York is aggressive in the mids, and tighter in the lows due its unique dynamic harmonic saturation. It can add incredible focus and punch to tracks in preamp mode, especially in boost mode. It’s also an all around winner for many genres in console mode when used on the master fader. You really dial in the saturation with New York and then find the perfect blend with the mix knob.

Hollywood: Hollywood is perhaps the most colorful of the three modules, and it’s got some beautiful air, depth, excitement, and some really big bottom! Use it on boost mode and make your tracks come alive. It’s fantastic when paired with some of the vintage VMS mics to add some extra top end flavor and warm lows. In console mode, it can simply transform a lifeless mix into something larger than life.

Example Uses

• Use Preamp with Boost across tracks to add vibe and color and remove digital cleanliness.
• Use Console as first insert on mixbuss with a bit of saturation to add weight, glue, and analog color to whole mix.
• Use Preamp or Console saturation on drums, vocals, guitar and keys.
• Use Preamp distortion with mix knob to add thickness and warmth to tracks like vocals, snare, toms, drum buss, or even whole mix.
• Use Console saturation in mastering chain to reduce peaks in a warm and punchy way.
