What Distinct Pro does
Distinct Pro shares its name with the original Distinct plugin, but the developer describes it as redesigned from the ground up. The effect combines advanced harmonic distortion saturation controls with a Drive Section and an extensive Dynamic (DYN) section, so the saturation can be set to subtle harmonics or to a more aggressive character. Distinct Pro is offered as VST2, AU and AAX for Windows and macOS, and a crack, keygen or serial key is what people usually search for alongside the name.
Key features
- Harmonic saturation controls. Advanced harmonic distortion controls set the amount and character of the saturation, from subtle harmonics to a more aggressive sound.
- Dynamic (DYN) section. An extensive DYN section shapes the dynamics of the signal alongside the saturation.
- Crack, keygen and serial variants. Searches pair the name with crack, keygen and serial key, and the same strings are typed for the release.
