Sinevibes let us know that they’ve introduced Corrosion v2, a major update to their Mac distortion effect, featuring a total of 15 different distortion algorithms.
Here’s what they have to say about it:
“Corrosion includes a wide selection of different distortion algorithms, from classic clippers and folders to very unique curves invented at Sinevibes. Distortion gain can go up to 24 dB and has a tilt control for natural stereo width effects, plus the plugin also features an exponential gate which can be used for both for noise reduction on analog recordings – as well as more creatively to “chop” audio.
With its special ability to adjust the upsampling filter’s cutoff frequency and mix in the dry input signal processed via a steep high-pass filter, Corrosion delivers a huge variety of sophisticated distortion effects, from subtle boosting and drive all the way to dramatic waveform bending, warping and destruction – and it does so via extremely simple controls.”
Features:
- Distortion engine with 15 different algorithms and 4x oversampling
- Flexible frequency crossover capabilities with simultaneous control of distortion upsampling filter and dry signal high-pass filter
- Gain tilt control for stereo width effects
- Built-in exponential noise gate with variable threshold, attack, and release
- Lag filters on all continuous parameters for smooth, click-free adjustment
- Supports mono › mono, mono › stereo, and stereo › stereo channel configurations
Pricing and Availability
Corrosion 2 is available now for $39 USD.
Sounds cool but, tbh, a distorted 303ish bass line pretty much always sounds cool (to my old ears anyway).
As a lazy-get-to-know-me demo, would love to hear the same set of presets on a clean drum loop, a clean acoustic guitar loop (like, 2 chords back and forth) and on some basic sawish synth pad (again, two chords).
Certainly too much for a quick demo video but the sounds from the video and the info about the controls makes me think this thing will shine brightest in band-limited scenarios—like, popping the “fwap” out of toms, adding girth to the the bottom snare mic or making a thunder out of the low end on a bright, staccato rhythm guitar line.
Hi Will! We have multiple video and audio demos available, including electric guitar and drum loop examples. You can check them out on our website. Cheers!
Ha! Of course you do.
I *did* use the word “lazy”. It was self-referential, in case that wasn’t clear. 😉
