destruqtor is a...companding
saturator
destruqtor is a companding distortion/saturation/exciter plugin. Unlike traditional distortion, destruqtor applies expanding compression before the waveshaper and an opposite compression after the effect, which preserves and emphasises transients and adds more warmth to your sounds without sacrificing dynamic range.
destruqtor is...versatile
Control even and odd harmonics individually. From classic softclipping and warm tube-like saturations to complete destruction of the signal!
You can also choose what frequencies to apply distortion to while bypassing other frequencies, useful for subtle saturation effects without completely destroying the low end.
destruqtor is...awesome
8x oversampling and ADAA for more harmonic sound. LUFS-based gain compensation for consistent output levels. Minimal, resizable and intuitive UI with dark and light modes. What else could you want? :3

Volume Meter

  • Shows RMS and peak levels of input (outer ring) and output (inner ring)

Even/Odd

  • The main XY pad - controls the amount of even (X axis) and odd (Y axis) harmonics to add
  • Supports 2D scrolling, holding ALT while scrolling switches the axes
  • ALT + Click resets it back to zero

Low & High Cutoff

  • Controls which frequencies are fed into the distortion - audio content outside that range is passed through unaffected
  • ALT + Click resets it back to zero
  • SHIFT + Click to drag both low and high points simultaneously

Resize

  • Drag this to make the interface however large or small you want

Dark/Light Mode

  • Switch between dark mode and light mode if you like :3

Gain

  • A simple output gain control, useful for manual gain matching
  • Hold CTRL for finer control
  • Set to auto mode by default, which engages the autogain mechanism. ALT + Click to toggle it

Dry/Wet

  • Global mix control, applied after the Gain (gain is not applied when the mix is at 0%)
  • Hold CTRL for finer control
  • ALT + Click toggles the global bypass
  • SHIFT + Click toggles delta mode
