Distinct! (Distortion Unit) $19.00

Distortion and saturation

Distinct!

Find the distortion that belongs in your mix.

Distinct brings three distortion modes into a focused plugin that moves from lighter saturation to an obvious effect. Choose odd-harmonic color, even-harmonic saturation or digital soft clipping, then develop the treatment with Distort, SAT and broad tone controls. Blend it with the dry signal to find how much character belongs in your arrangement.

Built for your music

A little color and a heavily distorted effect can start here.

Use Distinct to add saturation across a drum group, develop a fuzzier bass treatment or give a synth a more strongly distorted voice. The same compact set of controls lets you approach those jobs at different intensities. You can stay with a restrained amount of color or drive the processing until distortion becomes a prominent part of your music.

Three modes with different harmonic characters.

ODD and EVEN give you different harmonic starting points, while DIGIT provides digital soft clipping. Switch the mode as you develop the treatment and hear how it changes the distortion in context. The choice gives you another way to shape the result before deciding how hard to drive it.

Distinct tone controls with complete plugin context

Shape the tone going into distortion.

The HF and LF controls adjust the tonal balance before the distortion stage, so they influence the character of the processing as well as the balance you hear. Bring more high-frequency emphasis into the drive or change how strongly the low end contributes. Distinct gives those broad tonal moves a role in developing the distortion itself.

Distinct saturation controls with complete plugin context

Develop the saturation beyond the main knob.

Distort sets the main amount of processing for your selected mode, while SAT adds another saturation adjustment whose response depends on the input and distortion settings. Use the controls together to develop a treatment you like, then bring the Mix control down when you want that character as a layer alongside the dry signal.

Keep the comparison in reach.

Auto Gain helps with level compensation as you adjust the distortion, and the Output control lets you refine the balance. A/B comparison keeps two versions of your settings ready to audition. You can try a different mode or drive setting while keeping the version you already like available.

A few useful answers

Frequently asked questions

Is this Distinct Pro?

No. This is the original Distinct, with three distortion modes and a focused set of drive, saturation and tone controls. Distinct Pro is a separate plugin with its own additional processing options.

What are the three modes?

ODD emphasizes odd-harmonic distortion, EVEN provides an even-harmonic saturation character, and DIGIT is a digital soft clipper.

What is the difference between Distort and SAT?

Distort controls the main processing amount for the chosen mode. SAT adds saturation with a response influenced by the input and Distort settings.

Are HF and LF before distortion?

Yes. These tone controls shape the audio before the distortion stage.

Can I blend the processing?

Yes. Mix blends the processed and dry signal inside Distinct.

Does Auto Gain measure and match perceived loudness?

Auto Gain provides gain compensation. Refine the comparison with Output; it is not presented as a measurement-based loudness match.

Can I try the complete plugin?

Yes. The fully functional trial lasts 14 days, with no credit card required.

Which formats are supported?

VST3 and AAX on Mac and Windows, plus AU on Mac. Native Apple Silicon support is included. See the current system requirements for your setup.
