- Music producers shaping chord-based distortion
- Worth noticing
- Its Iterations control runs continuously from 0 to 16, and the page includes an interactive mask for auditioning kept and held-back harmonics.
Field notes
Note selection can come from played MIDI, a clickable keyboard, Learn, or the plugin's Auto mode. The signal passes through one of six waveshapers before adjustable harmonic windows determine what remains; the page also lists zero-sample latency in Realtime mode. Its comparative claim about reduced out-of-key energy is presented by the project, but the supplied extract gives no test protocol.
