Subsequent setting of the clipping type to Tape and the filter type to Low Pass puts things into the realm of emulating the sound of an cassette that has been chewed by a tape deck. Or take things a step further forward by flipping on the Drop switch to silence all the undistorted waveform segments. Emulate it by adjusting the PROBABLILITY controls so that Dent 2 randomly applies distortion to only 70% of the audio signal’s wave cycles. Put it this way: what about a broken guitar amp that has an interesting sound? Easy. End users can freely witness creative possibilities really starting to unfold before their eyes and ears!Įven experienced sound designers would be hard-pressed to dream up a wave-shaping scenario that cannot be customized by Dent 2 with exacting precision. Even making the filter position dynamic is perfectly possible - alternating on dotted eighth notes between placements at the beginning and the end, for example.
After that, the audio finally passes through one of four different resonant filter types - that is, unless, of course, the user opts to position the filter at the beginning of the signal path, rather than at its end. Thereafter, the bitrate engine is a continuous and automatable parameter with six different Bitcrush algorithms. Within those gain stages, users can add or subtract a DC (Direct Current) BIAS, adjust the waveform’s SHAPE by flattening or sharpening it, and independently adjust the positive and negative (UPPER X and LOWER X) halves of the waveform. Next, the signal passes through as many as three different distortion types in series, selectable from among ten unique clipping algorithms.
collectively, they truly know how to turn those ones and zeros into musical magic!Īny audio making its way into Dent 2 is first met by the plugin’s freely-adjustable and highly-customizable sample reduction engine. we’re talking about a let’s-sharpen-the-peaks-on-the-negative- half-of-the-waveform level of control here! However, those seeking sweet analog hardware emulation are advised to look elsewhere since those mad scientists at Unfiltered Audio are digital to their core. Now, with the release of Dent 2, audio control freaks can really rejoice since this time its creators have gone subatomic. Unfiltered Audio’s original version of Dent was a very different kind of distortion plugin, produced by the cutting-edge Californian company to enable every engineer and sound designer who had ever longed to manipulate waveforms on a molecular level to do just that. Plugin Alliance, a new ‘Über-standard’ supporting all major plugin formats and uniting some of the best-known international audio companies under one virtual roof, is proud to announce availability of Dent 2 and Indent 2 - all-new and advanced versions of Plugin Alliance partner Unfiltered Audio’s different distortion/ waveshaping plugins par excellence.
G8 for Windows and Mac (VST/AU) is available for purchase for $49.99 USD.Unfiltered Audio announces availability of overhauled Dent 2 and Indent 2 plugins exclusively from Plugin Alliance We swapped positions of the LP and HP sidechain filter to better fit the standard placements. You can now double-click any knob to reset it to a default value. These are back-ported from improvements made with Sandman. You can close G8’s interface and re-open it, and your display settings will be maintained. You can now automate G8’s host bypass without any artifacts.
For hosts that support the VST bypass standard (Cubase, etc.), G8 will now report its latency during this mode. If you sum G8’s output with a phase-inverted copy, you’ll get complete silence, no matter your lookahead setting. In addition, G8’s latency reporting was often off by a sample or two. We had one or two reported crashes in Cubase when sudden Lookahead changes occurred. We re-wrote a significant portion of the DSP to achieve this, but G8 will sound exactly the same!
Use it for noise reduction, AM/granular synthesis, bouncing ball rhythm programming, tremolo, trajectory panning, transient shaping, and much, much more.
It is both a professional dynamics workstation and an experimental amplitude effect. G8 is a high-quality noise gate with many tricks up its sleeve.
