Multi-Band Distortion Topologies
Bacteria
Multi-band distortion for aggressive tone shaping. From subtle saturation to complete spectral destruction.
Dynamic Morphing
Bacteria features a sophisticated distortion engine with real-time parameter morphing. Sweep between multiple distortion states to find the perfect harmonic balance.
Map dozens of underlying parameters to the glowing neon XY-Morph Pad, sweeping between completely different multiband configurations with smooth, glitch-free transitions.
Multiband Precision
Split your signal into multiple bands to apply targeted distortion where it matters most. Keep your low end clean while adding aggressive grit to the mids and highs.
Independent mid/side processing per band allows for precise spatial control over your distortion, ensuring your mix remains wide and defined even under heavy saturation.
Waveshaping Control
Go beyond standard clipping with custom waveshaping and spectral processing. Bacteria allows you to sculpt the harmonic profile of your distortion with clinical accuracy.
Chain multiple FX nodes per band (Distortion → Granular → Spectral Shifting) and leverage the Quick Modulators to tie LFO rates to your drive circuits for rhythmic harmonic movement.
Advanced Modulation
A playground for experimental sound design. Apply complex modulation and mathematical operators to your audio signals for unique sonic results.
Draw your own non-linear distortion curves using the Custom Waveshaper routing block. Construct complex, polyrhythmic Bezier LFO shapes and sync them to internal chaos generators.
