DriveShaper 2

About

From laser-focused harmonic warmth and sizzle, to massively modulated mayhem that reacts and breathes in synergy with your music, DriveShaper 2 does it all – and more. Animate any of 11 exciting waveshaping algorithms using easy, drawable LFOs and simple 1-slider Envelope Followers. Create magical distorted rhythms, targeted analogue warmth and hard-edged drive patterns.

Running inside Cableguys' ShaperBox 3 effects plugin, use DriveShaper on its own or with other Shapers — they all work in exactly the same way, stacking up to create elaborate, multilayered effects that'll make your productions stand out.

Choose from 11 diverse Styles of distortion: Soft/Hard Clip for classic analogue-style clipping. Soft/Hard Square for fizzy, distorted zero crossings. Soft/Hard Rectify for octave-up FX. Skew/Sine/Triangle/Saw/Extreme Fold for wild wavefolding transformations.

Animate distortion over time with Cabelguys' easiest ever waveform-editing tools. Create throbbing, stepped, or ramped drive patterns in seconds. Any shape you can imagine, just clicks away.
