What it does
A distortion and saturation effect whose curve comes from a wavetable rather than a fixed circuit, so the character changes as the shape is swapped or swept. Position and fold controls move through the table, with pre-drive, output gain and dry and wet mix around them. Two filters sit pre or post, each switchable to bell, notch, high pass or low pass, and two LFOs, an envelope follower and a drawable motion sequencer each reach two destinations.
In the demo
Jade puts it over a held Mononoke drone so the shaping is easy to hear, then drags the wave by finger before handing the same job to an LFO. She sends modulation to filter frequency, shaper position and fold at once, syncs the LFOs to the host tempo, and moves to a drum loop.
Worth knowing
The controls follow the usual BLEASS tab layout. A desktop version is sold separately on the developer’s site.
