Quantum Distortion by GS DSP

[gsdsp]

XY Multi FX
Saturator | BitCrusher | RingModulator | DownSampler

Down the rabbit hole into the very essence of distortion, where every tweak and turn unveils a subterranean realm of gritty textures and rich harmonics.

Saturation: Explore the rich, harmonically intricate depths of our custom waveshaping algorithm. Adjust the Drive to control the intensity from subtle to extreme, while the Asymmetry knob lets you summon the very essence of vintage tube amplifiers.

BitCrush: Unleash the power of digital deconstruction and transform your audio into a dynamic mosaic of bits. Tweak the BitCrush parameter for intensity, and bend and twist the bits in unimaginable ways using the BitWarp control.

RingModulation: Intertwine your audio into a spectral dance with an oscillator and let those sidebands resonate in lovely dissonance. Adjust intensity and frequency smoothly in real-time.

DownSample: Take a quantum leap in time with Downsampling. Adjust the rate dynamically down to 200 Hz or introduce an element of chaos with Jitter, adding an unpredictable edge to your sonic explorations.

The XY Pad - Discover the Alchemical Fusion: Navigate effortlessly between these four distortion algorithms using the intuitive XY pad. The background image changes dynamically as well, providing a visual indicator of your current location.

Use our parameter randomisation feature to explore the plugin's sound at random. And if that's not enough use our next-level modulation system to modulate pretty much everything using LFOs & Random Generators (also in 2D!), Envelope Followers, Macros and even dynamic chaotic systems.

Whether you're summoning the warmth of vintage tones or venturing into uncharted sonic dimensions, this plugin is your key to unlocking the secrets of audio alchemy.

Cool

[kraster]

Awesome.

This looks and sounds great.

Love the modulation system in GSdsp plug-ins.

[muki]

can't find an oversampling option....?

a 10.5k sinus gives a clearly hearable 1.5k foldback aliasing...

[gsdsp]

@muki 2x Oversampling is applied automatically if you are running at a samplerate <= 48kHz. Of course that still can be not enough for a 10.5kHz Sine, I can add more Oversampling in an update though

[muki]

I can add more Oversampling in an update though

thanks, that'll be great

Very cool plugin, bought!

[kraster]

Love the bit warp function.

Haven't seen that before.

[pekbro]

The camera modulator is pretty neat! First time I've seen that in a plugin that I can recall.
Works well

[UltimiGiorniRecords]

Bought so I have completed my collection of Your plugins. Excellent work as always

Distortion plugins are becoming the new reverb

[SamDi]

Looks nice, but I feel, the market starts to get saturated slowly (ooh a wordplay). So what would this plugin add to Thermal, Rift, Dist Coldfire and all that I have already? Any USP?

I think having the four types at once is pretty handy.

The bitwarp function in the bit crusher is interesting. It biases the reduction based on the amplitude of the signal. Turning to the left brings more bit reduction for low signals and to the right brings more bit reduction for louder signals.

Also the modulation system goes way beyond anything else.

It's not just regaular LFOs and followers.

The followers alone, for example can react to the amplitude, spectral content (in multiple ways), pitch etc.

So say for example, with a vocal that gets harsh you could add or subtract some parameter based on that harshness.

It also has things like 2d LFOs so actual shapes like circles and squares. This is cool for modulating things like the XY control.

There's also things like a lorenz attractor and even using a camera's input.

This looks and sounds fantastic

Picked this up.
Absolutely love it!
Also grabbed the delay.
At 13 quid each, they are ridiculous value.
