Unfiltered Audio Dent 2

About

It’s time to go deeper with your sound – way deeper. Sure, you’ve made your tracks sound nice – balanced the levels, added just the right EQ – maybe you even performed all the music. But that’s only the beginning. You want to get inside those waveforms, to tinker and explore, to realize your track’s potential and draw out a sound that had only existed between your ears. It’s time to get to know Dent 2.

The original Dent was a different kind of distortion plugin, made by Unfiltered Audio for every engineer and sound designer who had ever longed to manipulate the waveform on a molecular level. Now, with the release of Dent 2, audio control freaks rejoice, because Unfiltered Audio has gone subatomic. We’re talking about a let’s-sharpen-the-peaks-on-the-negative-half-of-the-waveform level of control! So if you’re looking for sweet analog hardware emulation, you better look elsewhere, because the mad scientists at Unfiltered are digital to their core, and they know exactly how to turn those ones and zeros into magic.

Features

• Presets from The Crystal Method, Mirrorball Entertainment, Julius Dobos, and Toby Pitman (Air Studios)
• Six distinctive bitcrushing algorithms (including a circuit-bent toy simulation!)
• Randomize Preset feature—surprise and amaze yourself with sonic madness!
• Ten clippers: Hard/Soft Clip, Wavefold, Overfold, Harsh Fold, Distortion, Tube, Tape, Gloubi, & Cubic
• Complex Mode gives users the option to apply a different saturation algorithm to each of the three clipping stages
• Continuously variable Bias and Split controls progressively add DC signal to one or both phases of the input signal
• Two waveshapers independently adjust the amplitude of—and optionally invert—positive and negative phase components of your signal
• Sound-warping Shape control progressively squares off or pinches waveform peaks
• Probabilistic and Sequential Waveset (internal step-sequencer) processing creates dynamic rhythmic patterns for the distorted signal with a simple twist of two knobs
• Unfiltered Audio's flagship modulation system provides eight freely assignable modulators (sine LFO, sawtooth/triangle LFO, square-wave LFO, input follower, sample-and-hold noise, macro control knob, step sequencer, and ROLI Lightpad) with drag-and-drop virtual patching to most of Dent 2's controls
• Ability to minimize modulators by clicking on their icons
• Ability to reset LFOs via a trigger input and control phase
• Adjustable, analog-style multi-mode filter — with separate resonance control and four different filtering modes — can be placed pre- or post-distortion
• Continuously variable SR control progressively degrades the sampling rate of processed signal by directly manipulating Dent 2’s internal DSP
• AGC (Automatic Gain Compensation) button
• 2x and 4x oversampling
• Smooth wavesets option, available from within the Global Options menu
• OpenGL toggle switch in the Option menu
• Mix control provides parallel processing
• Zoomed-in waveform display shows the shape of wave cycles after processing, guiding your control tweaks
• Get crunchy analog-style tones like guitar pedal effects, or searing digital demolition like bitcrushing and sample rate reduction
• Add attitude to vocals with input gain, square up bass tracks with the Shaper, obliterate samples with the Bits and Sample Rate reducers, and run it all through a screaming multi-mode filter
