Opalize

When applying saturation or distortion to an audio signal, we often do so to add harmonics - to make basslines more audible on small speakers, add punch to drums, or help synths and instruments cut through the mix. In short: We want to sculpt the harmonic content of our sounds precisely - without introducing obvious, unpleasant distortion.

Meet Opalize - Harmonics Beyond Dynamics.

Opalize is not a basic waveshaper. It lets you create the harmonics you want - wherever you want them - while preserving the integrity of your original signal. Add the second through fifth harmonics to any frequency range you choose. And yes - independently of input level, if you prefer. Opalize gives you harmonic control with a level of precision that has never been available before.

Opalize works best with monophonic or bandpassed signals - but still delivers compelling results on broadband material. It includes low-pass and band-pass filters to help isolate fundamental tones for optimal harmonic shaping. One band can track the pitch of a monophonic input and automatically adjusts a low-pass filter in real time.
