Arturia has announced the release of a creative plugin that allows users to manipulate and combine various distortion types for truly unique and powerful sound design.
The Dist COLDFIRE dual-engine distortion effect gives users a reactive arsenal of classic and cutting-edge ways to process and destroy their sound, combining analog and digital algorithms with deep modulation and customization to unearth near-infinite distortion possibilities for any sound.
Pair up any of the 11 distortion types, from emulated tube heat to icy digital bit crush, customize routing, sprinkle in some modulation, and forge entirely unique sonic carnage. Create resonant metallic melodies, introduce artificial harmonic reflections, trigger wildly destructive feedback loops; get creative with Dist COLDFIRE’s dual-engine architecture.
Swap static sound processing for distortion that evolves, flickers, and dances to any tune with 6 assignable modulation slots, step sequencing, envelope following, and more. Dist COLDFIRE is simple enough to create exciting dual distortion effects in just a few easy clicks, but flexible enough to become totally immersed in deeply destructive sound design.
