Shaper

Freeform Distortion

Overview

Freeform Distortion

Wikipedia says:

"The sound produced by digital waveshapers tends to be harsh and unattractive, because of problems with aliasing"

Well. They clearly never listened to Kilohearts Shaper. A little bit of black magic trickery and any aliasing is kept to a minimum. Get all your distortion needs met with your own custom distortion shapes, or choose any shape from the included factory library.

Parameters

Graph

Drive knob

The drive setting will boost the input signal, causing a heavier distortion.

DC Filter

Enables a DC filter that fixes any DC offset introduced by the distortion.

Mix
