What Distinct! does
The plugin places an HF and an LF knob ahead of the distortion stage, so the tone can be shaped before the signal hits the drive. A fixed highpass filter is set to 420 Hz, and the SAT knob adds saturation on top of the Distort control. Input and output knobs sit alongside them in the same panel.
Mode buttons select the character of the saturation. The developer notes that the Distort and SAT values act directly on a non-linear algorithm, so the input knobs change the sound immediately. Kiive Audio recommends moving the knobs and trying the included presets to hear the range.
Distinct. circulates as a torrent and magnet link, and the repack is packed as .rar and .iso for Windows. The macOS build is searched as a .dmg crack, while the Windows build is queried as x64 crack and x86 crack. Searches pair the name with keygen and serial key, and a working serial is the string most often typed alongside the VST crack, AU crack and AAX crack versions.
Key features
- Pre-distortion HF and LF shaping. The HF and LF knobs sit ahead of the distortion module, so the frequency balance is shaped before the drive changes the signal.
- Mode selection for saturation type. Mode buttons choose the type of saturation or distortion the input is pushed through, so one set of knobs can produce different characters.
- ODD and EVEN harmonics. ODD adds third-order harmonics for an edgy, gritty sound, while EVEN adds second-order harmonics for a richer tone.
- DIGT digital soft clipper. DIGT is a digital soft clipper that the developer describes as adding bite and pushing the high mids through speakers.
- HPF and SAT controls. A simple highpass filter is set to 420 Hz, and the SAT knob adds saturation based on the chosen mode.
- Distort and input/output. The Distort knob sets the drive amount, and the input and output knobs set the level going into and coming out of the module.
- Non-linear algorithm response. Because the algorithm is non-linear, changing the Distort and input values changes the sound directly rather than as a fixed curve.
