AudioThing has announced an update to its Things series dynamic wavefolder effect plugin for Windows, Mac and Linux.
Designed for both subtle and extreme dynamic saturation, Things – Fold is inspired by the legendary Serge Wave Multipliers, known for their classic diode-based circuit design.
Version 1.1 of the plugin comes with a new auto gain parameter, soft clip parameter in the GUI, and support for macOS 15 Sequoia.
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 in VST/VST3, AU, AAX and CLAP plugin formats, Things – Fold is on sale for 9 USD/EUR until January 31st, 2025 (regular 19 USD/EUR). The offer is available at the AudioThing store and from Plugin Boutique.
