Computer Music are giving away an incredible and exclusive three-in-one distortion toolkit plugin with issue 228: Graffio CM, built by talented Italian developer HoRNet.
At Graffio CM's heart are a trio of modules that operate in parallel, each providing distinct distortion flavours that can be combined or used in isolation: first, the saturator module provides plenty of drive, aggression and character; next up, the exciter module can provide more subtle warmth by introducing odd and/or even harmonics; finally, the crunchy bit reducer adds digital degradation, grit and fuzz.
What's more, tweakers will be happy to know that each module features its own bypass switch and Dry/Wet mix knob, allowing you to customise which and how much of each effect is applied. A final output gain knob sits at the far end of the plugin so you can match the plugin's effect with your unprocessed signal, and the Oversampling function activates 4x oversampling for higher-quality processing. Watch the video above for more.
