Distortion

Fruity WaveShaper

Image-Line

Fruity WaveShaper is a wave distortion effect that uses flexible spline-based graph editing to map input values to output values, allowing for precise control over how audio signals are shaped and distorted. Its distinctive approach combines visual graph-based editing with both unipolar and bipolar modes to independently shape waveforms above and below the zero-crossing, making it suitable for everything from subtle coloration to aggressive distortion.

Key Features

01Spline-based graph editor for custom distortion curves
02Unipolar/Bipolar modes for independent waveform shaping
03Three spline segment types: Single Curve, Double Curve, and Hold
04Pre and Post gain controls with Mix parameter
05Oversample control to prevent aliasing artifacts
06HQ mode for processing silent signals without CPU saving
07Step editing mode for freehand curve drawing
08DC offset removal with Center parameter

Things to Try

  • 01Use Unipolar mode to apply the same waveshaper shape equally to waveforms above and below 0 dB
  • 02Enable HQ mode when other effects in the chain boost the output to ensure the plugin processes signals to silence
  • 03Hold SHIFT while dragging in Step editing mode to draw pulse lines with straight vertical and horizontal segments only
  • 04Adjust the tension handle of spline segments up and down to change spline appearance, or right-click to reset to a straight line
