Description
Saturation doesn't have to be symmetric. Deviation stretches your waveform around a movable pivot point, making positive and negative half-cycles unequal, generating even harmonics, and turning a sine into a pulse whose width tracks your input. Applied independently per channel, the deformation becomes a source of genuine stereo width and motion, straight from the shape of the signal itself.
Features:
- Asymmetric waveshaping built on a bounded homographic transfer function
- Per-channel deformation with a Binaural control for stereo width from the asymmetry itself
- Internal sine LFO modulating the deformation in phase quadrature for continuous stereo motion
- Dynamic Offset control linking DC compensation to the signal envelope
-Sidechained ring-mod noise injection that fills the dips of the waveform without touching the peaks
-Soft clipper with Anti-Derivative Anti-Aliasing (ADAA-1) and adjustable knee, from gentle saturation to hard clipping
-Magnitude-complementary crossover with adjustable cutoff: only the low band is processed, and both bands recombine to a flat frequency response
-Pre and Post DC blocking for symmetric clipping and clean output
-RMS level matching for honest A/B comparison at equal loudness with Auto-Gain
-Real-time Response display with an integrated XY control point (Tension on X, Drive on Y)
-Compatible with Ableton Live 11 and Live 12 with Max for Live. Runs on Push 3 Standalone.
One device for asymmetric shaping, stereo motion, and clean clipping.
