More than distortion
THERMAL goes far beyond traditional multi-band distortions. The XY control is highly interactive, providing an easy interface to enhance harmonics by tapping into its layered engines, each with analog and digital distortion algorithms, effects, modulation, and imaging.

Finally, it’s the software distortion we’ve been waiting for. No silly graphics, no fake hardware effects, no blunt-instrument processing. Thermal is distortion as actual sound design tool. Psycho killer, c’est précis.

Distortion & Effects
Width & Tone
Go beyond the presets and interact with the distortion on the waveform display, tweak modulation envelopes and add effects.
Hone in on a specific frequency range by dragging the handles on the waveform and adjust volume using the slider. Turn band split on to activate the crossover filters.
Choose from 19 analog and digitally modeled distortion algorithms. Add harmonics and grit, shape amplitude, and add frequency modulation.
Add a final touch to each stage by adding Mid Side and time-based width, then shaping highs and lows using the Tone panel.

Easy on CPU — pair it with Output’s ARCADE or any other instrument to truly make sounds your own.
