Buhdist 1.0
🕑 Added 2022-08-30 13:14:29 +0000 UTCBuhdist is a plugin that I've been working on for quite some time, the actual distortion algorithm is a couple of years old but right before this summer, I decided to start cooking up a GUI and add some functionality to make it usable as a plugin.
Amount
This one is easy, turn it up for more distortion. Probably the first knob you touch.
Shape
This control shapes the waveform before the boost, the shape in itself will create distortion so this will distort your signal even if ‘Amount’ is set to 0. Either use them in conjunction or as different flavors of distortion.
Channel
This function as a pan control If ‘Setup’ is set to ‘L/R’ and as a Mid/Side control if ‘Setup’ is set to M/S.
Setup
Switch between a Left and Right or a Mid and Side signal path.
In ‘L/R’ the left and right channels will be distorted individually. Use the ‘Channel’-knob to control the amount of distortion in the left or the right channel.
In ‘M/S’ the mid (sum) and the side (difference) will be distorted individually. Use the ‘Channel’-knob to control the amount of distortion in the mid or side channel.
Tilt
This control will tilt the spectrum to make it either slightly darker or brighter.
Mix
A mix knob to blend in some of the dry signal if you wish.
Type
Gentle will take the plugin down to about 10% of its distortion capacity, use this if the plugin is too aggressive for the task.
Mayhem is the default mode, it’s best described as Mayhem.
Gain
A simple makeup gain to adjust the output of the plugin.
OS
Set the amount of oversampling that you like, it’s recommended to use it at least x4 if you work at 44.akHz and want to avoid aliasing. On the other hand, aliasing is distortion too and isn’t necessarily a bad thing using a plugin like this. Oversampling will make this (and any) plugin way heavier on your CPU.
Bypass
Does what it says.
