apShaper can simulate multiple types of distortion, including tape and tube saturation, wave folding, and analog bit crushing.
The three filter bands offer high-quality filtering without high-frequency squeezing. The variable-slope low-pass filter type provides smooth slopes not possible with traditional filtering - ideal to gently shape signals with large amounts of distortion applied. Multiple tone control types modelled after classic circuits allow classic bass/mid/treble tone shaping.
Features
Demo version! Download and try in demo mode.
Five high-quality waveshaping engines: harmonic, tube, saturation, steps, wavefold.
Extremely low aliasing.
Three multi-type filters can be applied before and/or after waveshaping.
Four types of guitar amp tone stack simulations included.
Multiple types of saturation soft-knee: tape, classic, distortion and hyper.
The steps engine allows continous adjustments of the number of bits.
The wavefold engine provides symmetrical and asymmetrical user-editable breakpoints.
The variable-slope low-pass filter type is ideal to use with harmonic distortion products.
The direct channel can be independently filtered and dry/wet mixed with the shaped sound.
Graphical editing of filter parameters on the spectrum display.
Zoomable frequency spectrum and f0-synced waveform displays.
Built-in input/output meters.
dc offset removal filter.
Modulation system with up to 16 modulation rules with independent gains.
Internal modulation sources: two LFOs, a dynamics detector and three user-definable knobs.
Midi input using the modulation system.
A low processing latency of 7 samples allows real-time performance.
