AudioThing has introduced a new Things series plugin designed for both subtle and extreme dynamic saturation.

A versatile wavefolder, Things – Fold is inspired by the legendary Serge Wave Multipliers, known for their classic diode-based circuit design.

Fold combines wavefolding with an envelope follower, low-pass and high-pass filters, and adjustable feedback. This combination allows for a wide range of creative sound design possibilities, from gentle harmonics to crunchy distorted sounds.

Wavefolding is a type of waveshaping where the signal is folded back on itself. Instead of clipping the signal, wavefolding inverts the waveform, creating a series of peaks and valleys. It can be highly effective for adding complex harmonics to basic waveforms. Depending on the settings, wavefolding can also be used for mild saturation to subtly color a signal or pushed to extremes for intense, aggressive distortion.

Available for Windows, Mac and Linux (VST/VST3, AU, AAX and CLAP), Things – Fold is on sale for the introductory price of 9 USD/EUR for a limited time (regular 19 USD/EUR). It is also available as AUv3 and standalone for iOS on the App Store.
