Waveshaper Device

Essentials

Waveshaper lets you draw a transfer curve to design distortion, with Input/Output gain and Mix for parallel processing. Draw your own transfer function for precise control over harmonic content and character. Perfect for creating unique distortion shapes, adding harmonics, or extreme sound design.
  1. Drawable transfer curve
  2. Input/output gain controls
  3. Mix for parallel processing
  4. Precise control over distortion character
  5. Create unique distortion shapes and harmonics

Controls

On/Off Activates or bypasses the waveshaper effect
Curve Editor Design the transfer curve; drag points to reshape; double‑click to add/remove anchor points
Gain (Input/Output) Drive input harder for more distortion; use output to level-match
Mix Blend dry/wet for parallel distortion (0 to 100%)

Practical Tips

Practical Tips

  • Smooth curve; soft edges.
  • Flat top/bottom for digital clipping.
  • Sharp bends/steps for glitch textures.
  • Low Mix to preserve dynamics.
