Ohm Force releases Ohmicide[S]

Ohm Force has announced the release of Ohmicide[S], saying:

18 years after what was seen by many as the best distortion plugin ever made, ohmicide[S] is still a multiband distortion/dynamic monster but now it also has modulation everywhere, a snazzy routing allowing for serial and parallel processing at all times while always preserving the low end, a handy fun and self documented user interface and an all around lovely preset experience thanks to our macros² system.

Ohmicide[S] serves a wide range of purposes from giving texture to your synths to making cutting guitar sounds to designing hammering loops to being a key part of your mastering. And then there is all the mayhem potential through all the feedback generators and LFOs.

Ohmicide[S]

The Grand Library of Distortions:

• Classics: emulate all sorts of analog amplification, from guitar amp to consoles and turntables.
• Edgy: make your synth leads scream with razor-sharp cubic or v-shaped distortions.
• Wacky: time freeze, chastity belts and a jellyfish = endless possibilities.
• Switch at will between Standard, XXX (even more analog-like behavior) or ODD (deliciously broken).
• 111 algorithms (37 types x 3 modes) self-documented within the UI.

Shape. Texturize:

• Unique two-knob upward compressor/expander to control dynamics...
• ... and expose all the hidden textures of your sound once fed through distortion.
• Type-specific mod controls per distortion.
• Bias with 3 distinct behaviors per family, including our signature ODD mode and its gritty sweeps.

Be reasonable. Be unreasonable:

• Gate the noise... or gate the signal.
• Filter out frequencies. Or make them scream.
• Cut the feedback. Or let it roam free.
• Stick to mono. Or to stereo.

Sound Surgery:

• Split the signal in bands by frequency - or make them parallel.
• Conveniently always keep a low end X band available to be treated separately.
• Pre and post bands to allow for serial distortions shenanigans.

Preset Browser:

• Easy on your memory thanks to highly visual banks.
• Easy on your time thanks to in-UI documentation of banks and presets.
• 108 presets including 30 by the team of Ohmicide experts audio engineers Keep Forest.

Macros²:

• 4 controllers per preset that can do everything you can think of and then some.
• Unlimited mapping, control ranges on both ends as well as response curve...
• ...sounds esoteric until you realise you can set them to skim off a bit the high when the gain knob is close to the max. Then you're using them everywhere.

Modulation:

• Modulate every audio parameter.
• With every conceivable modulation.
• Modulate the modulations.
• Did you know? Envelope follower and ADSR completely change the distortion game.

Ohm Force concludes:

Ohmicide[S] is an absolute beast of a tool whether you want filthy guitars, nasty basses, glitchy drums or some highly controllable ways to adjust dynamics and add harmonics in your mix. We hope you'll love it as much as we do.
