Hivetune has released a new distortion effect plugin for Windows and Mac (VST3/AU).
Designed to offer a creative playground, Cactus has the unique ability to draw your own distortion curve, allowing for soft, warm touch or full-on sonic destruction.
Forget useless knobs and confusing controls. Cactus keeps it simple with just three intuitive knobs and an interactive waveshaper that give you everything you need to craft your perfect sound. It’s the ideal balance of simplicity and flexibility, designed to keep you focused on your music, not the interface.
With distortion, keeping your mix balanced can be tricky. That’s why Cactus includes an auto gain feature that takes care of the volume for you. Push the distortion as far as you want without worrying about ruining your mix—Cactus has it handled.
The plugin comes with 20+ presets to get you started. The full version is on sale for $8 USD (regular $10 USD), and a free Lite version is available as well. It lacks custom waveshape and auto-gain, and comes with less presets.
