It’s a saturator, and it works really well on drums, synths, and entire mixes. It’s unique because it modulates the saturation function as the volume of the input signal changes. The effect can be subtle or completely destructive. I’m a big fan of loud, distorted, clipping hyperpop, and I have a feeling that the BPB community will enjoy this plugin.

Audio Thing's Wavebox and Blue Cat's Destructor also do this? Or am I missing something?

Most saturators have some sort of built envelope follower that determines saturation. I'm not sure if that is the same thing as modulating the function.

Anyway this is free in exchange for an email address.

Loads of waveshaping distortions do this. It's basic second gen DSP. Even my Patcher/Waveshaper distortion kit does this: https://unaspectedstudios.com/Raze.htm

Great GUI, the text on the left half is a bit subtle tho.

Ha! This is pretty wacked but it sounds great. Very nice! Thanks very much!

It's amazing on electro drums, tuning in the mod rate to get some funky FMod effects. Very organic and pulsating!

Here's SS mangling a beat from Microtonic. It starts and ends with the dry beat. The rest is automated...

Great plugin! The only thing I could ask for next is the ability to be able to save presets but fantastic work!

+1 for presets saveability

also: oversampling options
a 15k signal results in a very clear 3k foldback aliasing

mod rate up to 300Hz is way cool :-)
instant ring-mod-feeling

wish:
modrate can also be modulated by envelope (attack/release settings)

I agree. Also, a bypass button.

Does anyone know the pronunciation of this plugin's name?
