Complete Toolbox For Sonic Warfare

Audio Damage release Kombinat distortion plug-in 02-Jun-08
Complete Toolbox For Sonic Warfare


Audio Damage have released the Kombinat distortion plug-in. Here’s what they have to say about it in their own words…

From mild tone-shaping or adding a bit of grit to full-on total waveform destruction, Kombinat is a complete toolbox of sonic warfare. This plug-in is, in our opinion, the single most annihilating effect available today.

With seven different options in each of the three distortion engines (plus pass-through), Kombinat is capable of sophisticated and unique sounds. Want to add a ring mod to the low end, a mild saturation to the mids, and a bit-reduction algorithm to the high end? No problem. Want to run your signal through three sine-warps in series? This is your box.

Kombinat's signal structure allows for a fairly broad palette of sounds, as each segment of the overall effect is a versatile tool in its own right. The Isolator is a full "DJ-style" band-killer EQ; this leads to the three distortion engines, which may be used in multi-band mode for subtle surgery, or in series mode for complete signal destruction. The engines go in to a four-pole lowpass filter of our own design, and then in to a compressor which we have configured for one-knob operation.

Taken as a whole, Kombinat is a tweaker's paradise, yet designed so that it is easy to just grab one of the 64 presets and touch it up a bit to suit the source material.

NOTE: The OSX versions of this plugin require 10.4.1 or later.

Features

  • Compressor, configured for one-knob operation for ease of use
