Folda is a 4-Group morphing distortion plugin built around a real-time 2D GRID. Four independent distortion groups each run their own algorithm, filter, and character, blended spatially by a single morph node you drag across the grid. Hover between groups to hear them crossfade into hybrid voices that don't exist in any single preset.
Distortion engine
Each of the four groups hosts one of 34 algorithms across six families: wavefold, clip, saturate, overdrive, fuzz, and digital. Algorithms span classic tube and transistor models, multi-stage folding, resampling, bitcrushing, and rectifier-based behaviours. Per-group filters include low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, comb, phaser, formant, and more. Each group can occupy a different spectral space, so morphing between them reshapes both timbre and tone in a single gesture.
Modulation and playability
A 16-slot modulation system drives the grid and any other target you route to. Up to 32 targets per modulator, with LFOs, envelope followers, step sequencers, and sample-and-hold sources. The morph position itself is a modulation target, so you can sidechain distortion character to input energy, automate grid walks, or let tempo-synced LFOs take the wheel. The GRID becomes a performance surface, not a preset browser.
Signal path
Auto-Gain keeps perceived output matched to input so morphing doesn't lurch the mix. Stereo M/S processing lets you distort mid and side independently. A 3-band EQ sits after the distortion stage for post-colour shaping. Up to 16x oversampling provides headroom for high-gain algorithms.
Formats and compatibility
VST3 on Windows 10 or later. VST3 and AU on macOS 11 or later. Universal Binary with native Apple Silicon and Intel support.
Single-build demo model
Folda ships as a single installer. Run it in demo mode until you enter a license key. No separate demo download, no feature stripping, no watermark sprints.
Genre fit
Built for producers working in bass music, electronic, industrial, experimental, drum and bass, and anywhere aggressive-but-controllable distortion serves the track. The grid morphing gives you modulation shapes you cannot get from four independent distortion plugins running in series.
Launch pricing
USD 67 for the first 7 days (ends 2 May 2026). USD 99 after. Available direct from sentinelav.com and gumroad.com/l/Folda.

My new favorite distortion plugin the last time i had this much fun with distortion was camelphat release years ago.
pro tip: if u are on FL studio try the preset randomisation tool.
