It's the rudest effect we've ever made. Crunch It! - Two asymmetric distortion circuits from the OG CP3 module - CP3+: a sharp discontinuity for big harmonics, absolutely brutal on synth drums - CP3-: smooth and heavy, for when the positive curve is too rude - Drive up to +48 dB Digital Extras - Custom smoothing function tames harsh artifacts - Bias control shifts how you hit the asymmetry - Flexible high-pass and low-pass tone-shaping filters - Pre or post filter placement Core Features - Morph Settings for smooth transitions between two complete configurations - Auto Bypass saves CPU when input is silent - AB settings comparison - HQ mode with 4x oversampling and ADAA - One-click loudness matching - All parameters automatable with precise playback - Light and dark interface modes - Internal undo/redo - Auto gain - Standalone app includes support, manual links and in-app purchase options for license purchase Two-week trial included, one-time purchase for full unlock.
