GTA | 27 April 2025 | 29.8 MB
Welcome to Rave Generation: Rave Distortion. This plugin is an audio effect inspired by various hardware devices, including distortion and overdrive pedals, synthesizer filters, EQs, mixing consoles, and filter banks. It is designed to add warmth, character, and intensity to audio signals.
With a combination of high-pass, lowpass, and resonant peak filters capable of generating feedback loops, along with flexible saturation and distortion stages, this plugin offers a wide range of possibilities suitable for various musical genres and audio applications.
Additionally, Rave Distortion is equipped with a dynamic low-frequency oscillator (LFO) integration. This LFO can be applied to modulate filter frequencies, providing rhythmic variations that are tempo-synced with your project.
KEY FEATURES
• Multiple Filter Types
Includes high-pass, low-pass, mid, and low-frequency filters each with resonance and modulation capabilities. Features a 2-pole resonant high-pass filter (12dB/octave) and a 4-pole low-pass filter (24dB/octave) modeled after a transistor ladder filter for smooth and warm effects.
• Dual Distortion Stages
Two separate distortion stages each with their own dry/wet mix and post-gain controls.
• Dynamic LFO Integration
LFO rate can be synced with project tempo, affecting the low-pass filter frequency for rhythmic modulation effects.
• Advanced Saturator with adjustable drive
Fine-tune saturation to achieve everything from subtle warmth to aggressive distortion.
• DC Block Filters
Prevent DC offset, ensuring clean and high-quality audio output.
• Comprehensive Parameter Control
Extensive control over each aspect of the audio processing to tweak the sound to perfection, including controls for low-mid and high-mid filters with adjustable bandwidth (1/12 octave to 3 octaves).
USER INTERFACE - MAIN CONTROLS
1. PRE-HP (Pre-High-Pass): Controls the frequency cutoff of the resonant high-pass filter which removes low-frequency content from the input signal before processing. This is a 2-pole (second-order) resonant high-pass filter, providing a slope of 12dB/octave.
2. HP RESO.: Adjusts the resonance of the high-pass filter. Capable of generating feedback.
3. LP FREQ (Low-Pass Frequency): Adjusts the cutoff frequency of the low-pass filter. This 4-pole (fourth-order) filter, with a slope of 24dB/octave, is modeled after a well-known transistor ladder filter by cascading four one-pole filters in series. This design achieves a smooth and warm filtering effect, renowned for its distinctive sound and resonance in classic synthesis. The unique sound, especially when driven hard, results from its non-linear behavior, managed through polynomial approximations.
4. LP RESO. (Low-Pass Resonance): The resonance parameter controls the feedback mechanism, shaping the filter's self-oscillation characteristics and enhancing its analog warmth.
5. LFO RATE (Low-Pass LFO Rate): Sets the rate at which the low-pass filter frequency is modulated by the low-frequency oscillator, allowing rhythmic variations that sync to the tempo of the host DAW.
6. LFO DEPTH (Low-Pass LFO Depth): Controls the depth of the modulation effect applied to the low-pass filter frequency by the LFO, affecting how dramatically the filter frequency changes.
7. SAT. DRIVE (Saturation Drive): Adjusts the drive level for the saturation effect, controlling the intensity of harmonic distortion.
8. DC BIAS: Introduces a continuous direct current (DC) offset into the signal path before saturation, altering the waveform symmetry and affecting the harmonic distortion for unique tonal shaping and dynamic effects.
9. SAT. OUTPUT (Saturation Output): Sets the output level of the saturation effect.
10. LM FREQ (Low-Mid Frequency): Controls the center frequency of the low-mid peak filter. This is a second-order peaking filter with a 12dB/octave slope on each side of the peak.
11. LM WIDTH: Adjusts the bandwidth of the low-mid peak filter. Modeled after well-known American and German 8-bus mixing consoles. When the control is fully to the left (0.0), the bandwidth is 3 octaves (wide). When the control is fully to the right (1.0), the bandwidth is 1/12 octave (narrow). When the control is in the middle (0.5), the bandwidth is approximately 1.5417 octaves.
12. LM GAIN: Sets the gain of the low-mid peak filter.
13. DISTORTION 1: Controls the intensity of the first distortion stage.
14. DRY/WET 1: Adjusts the balance between the dry (unprocessed) and wet (processed) signals for the first distortion stage.
15. POST GAIN 1: Sets the output volume of the first distortion stage, useful for leveling after processing.
16. HM FREQ (High-Mid Frequency): Controls the center frequency of the high-mid peak filter.
17. HM WIDTH: Adjusts the bandwidth of the high-mid peak filter. Modeled after well-known American and German 8-bus mixing consoles. When the control is fully to the left (0.0), the bandwidth is 3 octaves (wide). When the control is fully to the right (1.0), the bandwidth is 1/12 octave (narrow). When the control is in the middle (0.5), the bandwidth is approximately 1.5417 octaves.
18. HM GAIN: Sets the gain of the high-mid peak filter.
19. DISTORTION 2: Controls the intensity of the second distortion stage.
20. DRY/WET 2: Adjusts the balance between the dry (unprocessed) and wet (processed) signals for the second distortion stage.
21. POST GAIN 2: Sets the output level of the second distortion stage.
22. LF FREQ (Low Frequency): Adjust the low-frequency filter settings for shaping the bass content.
23. LF GAIN: Sets the gain of the filter.
24. OUTPUT: Sets the overall output level of the plugin.
USER INTERFACE - ADDITIONAL CONTROLS
PRECISE MOVEMENTS:
Holding down the 'Shift' key while adjusting a knob will enable you to make precise movements. This feature is especially critical when adjusting frequency values in Hz. Allowing for finer control over the audio processing parameters.
RESET KNOB
Right clicking a knob will reset its value. This action will restore the knob or fader to its default or initial position. Alt + click also works (MacOS: ‘option’ + click).
ADJUST VALUE:
Double-clicking a knob allows you to adjust its value directly. This action provides a quick and intuitive way to fine-tune parameters with precision.
UNDO/REDO
Access Undo and Redo from the menu bar to easily correct or reapply changes. Undo reverses the last adjustment, preventing errors, while Redo restores it, essential for efficient workflow and precise edits.
GUI OPACITY
From the menu bar, users can adjust the GUI Opacity from 0% to 100%. This control allows for varying the transparency of the plugin interface, offering better visibility of underlying work areas or personal preference adjustments.
RESIZE
The interface can be resized from 70% to 200% of its original size via the menu bar. This feature accommodates different screen sizes and resolutions, ensuring Rave Distortion is accessible and comfortably usable on a wide range of devices and display settings.
PRESET MENU
Accessible from the menu bar, the Preset Menu provides a comprehensive interface for browsing, loading, and selecting factory presets, enhancing the ease of finding the right settings for any session. Additionally, users can Load/Save, and Copy/Paste presets.
