Weldroid has released a beta version of Synesthesia, a combined waveshaper / EQ / dynamics processor that is designed to be very light on the CPU, but to sound hi-fi enough to be put on the master buss without hesitation. A special combination of frequency-dependent harmonics generation and oversampling reduces aliasing way below audible levels, allowing smooth coloration of input material.

Synesthesia features flexible per harmonic definition of distortion / waveshaping characteristics, opening up possibilities to emulate static distortion of many nonlinear devices. Apart from the static waveshaping and equalization, dynamics processing is made possible by controlling a separate waveshaper curve with configurable attack and release time constants.

Features:

• Static waveshaping.
• Dynamic waveshaping.
• Unique sounding 4-band equalizer.
• DC filter.
• Optional oversampling.
• No latency.
• No audible aliasing.
• SSE optimized in assembly.
• Easy on the CPU.

Pricing & Availability

Synesthesia is available for Windows as a VST effect plug-in. It costs €30 whilst in Beta; €60 after the official release.
