ndc Plugs release Soul Force! VST plugin (now for OSX!)

[NiallM]

Hi folks,

I've just uploaded a new distortion plugin:

It's basically a waveshaper, but the shape control can be modulated using the feedback control and source switch, which makes things a lot more interesting. The audio damage-inspired gui was done in blender, and I included the .blend file in the source code zip, if anyone's interested.

[edit - you can ignore the following rant about OSX, since thanks to Bernie Torelli, there is an OSX version now]
Note: There's no OSX version, and there aren't going to be any further OSX updates/versions of my plugins. Every time I try to port something to OSX it's more and more hassle (even a plugin as simple as Soul Force!), and I've had enough. OSX might be great from a user's point of view, but (in my experience) it's truly horrible to try and develop for.

Also, just a warning (though it should be obvious since it's a distortion plugin and has no volume control): this plugin can get fairly loud.

- Niall.

So what's a waveshaper ? Any mp3 demos of this plug available ?

Cool stuff, Niall. A nice tone can be had with Env mode. The Wave mode might take me some practice with settings, I found it went farty easily.

It's a kind of distortion effect. This one sounds like this (first part is unaffected, second part is through Soulforce on Env mode):

Sounds good, Niall, thanks ...

A feature request:
Is it possible to have an Output Volume control ?? One could then adjust the ouput-level, thus making the presets more balanced when switching between them ...

Killer!! ThanXX Niall!! Being primarily a guitarist I'm real sucker for this sort of thing. Always room for another "stompbox"!!

Cheers......CL

Yeah, that's deliberate , so it can do things like this. Usually if you turn down the feedback and turn up the shape control you can get more of a blend, but the wave mode will always kind of messy and nasty .

Nah, that would mess up my gui (I actually designed the gui before I had the code to go with it), and anyway, this plugin's meant to be loud .
