Arturia have announced the release of Dist COLDFIRE, a dual-engine distortion effect that covers everything from tube saturation to extreme digital distortion. Users can combine analog and digital algorithms with deep modulation and customization, and unlock near-infinite distortion possibilities.
Dist COLDIRE fuses 11 forms of distortion into a single plugin, from analogue to digital, each with distinctive controls. These include tape, tube, transistor, transformer, germanium, force (overdrive), rectifier, bit crusher, bit invertor, wave folder and wave shaper modules.
In the sphere of contemporary music, it can mean the pumping analog imperfections of artists like Caribou and Floating Points; the hybrid industrial soundscapes of acts like Nine Inch Nails and Skinny Puppy; the seismic guitar sounds of everyone from Eric Gales to Bring Me The Horizon; the gritty, intimate production of today's songwriting pioneers like Billie Eilish and Phoebe Bridgers.
