Disto::Fx PRO is a multi-stage distortion and sound-shaping plug-in designed for extreme sound design. The audio signal passes through a series of units that can be activated or deactivated.

Processing pipeline (simplified)

A simplified view of the internal signal chain:

Main units

• Input/Output unit: level, DC-offset, stereo modes, saturation, high-quality output filter, limiter and dry/wet mix.
• Filter unit: two balanced filters, multiple modes (LP, HP, BP, BS) and cross-fader between filter paths.
• Modulation FX: ring-mod and phaser with tempo sync, feedback and depth control.
• Distortion unit: different distortion modes (shaper/boost/loud), bit-crushing, sample-rate reduction and type of the curve interpolation.
• Dynamic shaper: additional shaping with different curve types and processing modes.
• Hardcore bass unit: low-range enhancement with separate “old bass” and “hardcore bass” controls.
• EQ unit: 3-band EQ with switchable LP/HP filter slope and simple overall tone control.

For a full description of all parameters and screenshots of each unit, please refer to the Disto::Fx PRO manual (PDF) .

Bazz::Murda PRO is built as a dedicated kick- and bass-synth engine with multiple oscillators, envelopes and FX stages. It is designed so you can design your own kicks and basslines instead of relying only on samples.

Main synthesis units

• Oscillator units: multiple alias-free wavetable oscillators with per-oscillator filter, saturation, LFO modulation and pitch/amp control.
• Volume ADSR: envelope for shaping amplitude over time, including duration and velocity controls.
• Filter ADSR: dedicated ADSR envelope for controlling filter cutoff movement.
• ADSR utilities: copy functions for quickly transferring ADSR settings between volume and filter envelopes.
• FM modulator: several FM "ratio" operator controls (e.g. 0.25×, 0.5×, 1×, 2×, 4×) with fade-in, ideal for adding click, bite or tonal complexity.
• Unison: additional voices with detune and fade-in control for more width and weight.
• Sub-Oscillator unit: includes a head click generator and a sub-osc for adding clean sub-bass with options to send the sub-osc audio signal through FX or FM.

The distortion units in Disto::Fx and DistoFonic allow you to import and export custom curves as CSV or WAVE files. These example files can be used as starting points for your own shapes.

To learn how to import and modify curves, see the distortion/dynamic shaper section in the Disto::Fx or DistoFonic manuals.
