Sknote Disto v2 [WiN, MacOSX]

Disto – Distortion, compression, warmth, transformers. With Mid/Side. Disto is an emulation of two different devices in one. It is designed by merging their features to get a single processing system. It was designed taking inspiration from our rack of devices here: one pair of Distressors and one stereo FATSO Jr. by Empirical Labs. A Mid/Side encoding/decoding matrix is added to the rack, which, thanks to independent controls, gives full access to Mid and Side processing.

The character of the rack is widely expanded, by offering a “Standard/Out of Order” selection. Standard mode has the character and headroom of the original modelled devices. Out of Order mode has a lot stronger effects for stronger processing.

► Main features:

• Several compression modes.
• Knee compression.
• Several saturation modes.
• Warmth control. A special dynamic filter attenuates brightness for a “tape” style warming effect.
• Hottitude control. Set headroom and saturation independently from dynamic control.
• Output transformer option. A special saturation on low frequency range.
• Mid/Side matrix, with independent controls for Mid and Side.
• Original/Out of Order modes.
• New v.2 available now!
• Sample aligned Dry-Mix control.
• New “Clean!” mode. A whole new model for faithful compression, from light to squashed.
• New Gain Reduction meters mapping. Zooming into first 10 dB.
• New Auto-Gain option! Engage it to make output gain controls match the original audio level.
