5 star plugin. I dont get why all plugins dont have a morph matrix like this. BEST plugin on KVR for various reasons.

One of the craziest distortions ive ever used!!! Amazing for specifically vocal processing!!!
Good for both crazy distorted punk vocals and vocals sounding like they're coming out of a radio mic or perhaps a megaphone
And!! can be used for weird crunch bass effects on vocals as well
Only complaint is that sometimes moving the morph around too fast causes it to do a full on dc offset thing but thats fine.

Thank you for your review. The funniest thing is that I've payed extra attention to DC at some point, but it is quite possible that there are some cases where it can still appear. If you don't mind sharing a morph preset and a sample you're using it with, I'll look into that. Just PM me :).

The destructive potential of this plugin is immense. This plugin made my day and destroyed my eardrums.

It also destroys FL Studio's performance when opening specifically Parrot (also from DC2026) and no other plugin, which is a weird issue but both plugins work without problems otherwise.

Rated as my #3 plugin for DC2026.

Response from 1eqinfinity from Hvoya Audio on July 9th, 2026

Hey! Thanks for rating. Can you provide technical details on your setup please? Which OS and which FL versions are you using? Also, are you open to testing the fix?
Thanks,
Gene.

Have disabled apple security for the VST3 & componant files = no help.

Hi! That's expected, macOS 11 was no supported. I've updated the build, check out v1.0.5.
