What Osmium Distortion Matrix does
The device covers a wide span of distortion, from subtle tape saturation to heavy speaker-melting noise. Four distortion modules handle the main areas of Saturation, Overdrive, Wavefolder and Bitcrush, and processing can be split across up to three frequency bands, so the bass can be distorted while the low end stays intact. A single input effect slot feeds a matrix of nine freely routable effect slots that leads to one output, and chains can be built in series, in parallel or with feedback and re-patched within seconds.
Key features
- Four distortion modules. Saturation, Overdrive, Wavefolder and Bitcrush are the four modules, each covering one of the main areas of distortion.
- Modulation sources. Two LFOs, a curve sequencer, an envelope follower and CV control feed the modulation matrix.
- External effect loops. Any Reason Rack device can be inserted into the Osmium signal chain through external effect loops.
Compatibility
Osmium Distortion Matrix runs inside Reason, which is listed as its host, and it is a Reason Rack device rather than a separate plugin.
