It\u2019s time to go deeper with your sound \u2013 way deeper. Sure, you\u2019ve made your tracks sound nice \u2013 balanced the levels, added just the right EQ \u2013 maybe you even performed all the music. But that\u2019s only the beginning. You want to get inside those waveforms, to tinker and explore, to realize your track\u2019s potential and draw out a sound that had only existed between your ears. It\u2019s time to get to know Dent 2.<\/p>\n
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\u2019re talking about a let\u2019s-sharpen-the-peaks-on-the-negative-half-of-the-waveform level of control! So if you\u2019re 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.<\/p>\n
When it hits Dent 2, your audio is first met with the plugin\u2019s sample reduction engine, which is freely adjustable and highly customizable. Next, the signal passes through as many as three different types of distortion in series, which are selectable from among ten unique clipping algorithms. Within these gain stages, users can add or subtract a DC bias, adjust the waveform\u2019s shape by flattening or sharpening it, and independently adjust the positive and negative halves of the waveform. Next comes the bitrate engine, which is a continuous and automatable parameter with six different bit-crushing algorithms. And finally, the audio passes through one of four different resonant filter types\u2026 that is, unless of course you opted to put the filter at the beginning of the signal path, instead of the end. Or maybe you opted to make its position dynamic \u2013 alternating on dotted eighth notes between placements at the beginning and the end\u2026 now the possibilities are really starting to unfold!<\/p>\n
You\u2019d be hard-pressed to dream up a wave-shaping technique that can\u2019t be customized by Dent 2 with exacting precision. Got a busted guitar amp that has an interesting sound Now you can emulate it by adjusting the Probability controls so that Dent randomly applies distortion to only 70% of your signal\u2019s wave cycles. Or take it a step further by flipping on the Drop switch to silence all the undistorted segments of the waveform. Then set the clipping type to Tape, and the filter type to Low Pass, and now you\u2019re emulating the sound of an old cassette that\u2019s been chewed up by the tape deck.<\/p>\n
And here\u2019s the best part: Almost all of these parameters can be modulated with Unfiltered Audio\u2019s unique and intuitive modulation system. Just assign a parameter by using a virtual patch cable, and then select from among eight different modulators, including LFOs, a randomizer, and even a user-programmable step sequencer. Use a sine-based LFO on the filter frequency to produce a conventional wah effect, or set the filter to Band Reject mode and apply the step sequencer, to create a Leslie effect with syncopated rhythms. Modulate DC offset with an input follower to make a snare drum track with high hat bleed sound like heavy machinery pounding away in a demonic assembly line.<\/p>\n
Still not enough control for you Check out one of Unfiltered Audio\u2019s newest additions to their modulation section: The ROLI Lightpad modulator. Thanks to Unfiltered\u2019s seamless integration with ROLI\u2019s innovative controller, you can use simple gestural controls to modulate Dent 2\u2019s parameters in real time. Using the Lightpad\u2019s unique three-dimensional interface, you can easily modulate multiple parameters, or even modulate other modulators. Apply a step sequence modulator to the sample rate, and then use your finger pressure to scale the amplitude of the modulator. While you\u2019re at it, apply the X and Y axes to the filter\u2019s Cutoff and Resonance parameters to \u201cdraw\u201d filter envelopes on the Lightpad\u2019s surface in a live performance.<\/p>\n
With Dent 2, the twist of a few knobs can create new and exciting sounds that keep your productions sounding fresh and contemporary. Don\u2019t just distort it. Dent it.<\/p>\n
