Just in time for the new year! Distort version 1.0.17 is now
available.
Changes in this version include:
- Added Bits tab to select dither type (none, TPDF, and Shaped) and to select the number of it bits to dither
- Added configurable Dynamic Range Compression distortion to Custom Transfer Function settings
- Added Noise Floor setting (no signal) to the available Test Signals
- Added Blue (+3dB/Oct) and Violet (+6dB/Oct) noise floor settings
- Minor bug fixes
Bits tab currently allows the choice of three dither types, none, TPDF, and Shaped. Bits setting allows the selection of how many bits to dither:
Dither is applied after all the other distortions to produce the desired # of bits of output. More settings will be added to this tab in the near future!
Dynamic Range Compression lets you experiment with loudness/compression effects. The setting is available under the Custom Transfer Function option on the Harmonics tab:
Compression ratio defines the amount of compression and threshold defines the level above which the compressor is applied. Turn on the Autoscale option to apply make-up gain to match the RMS level of the original waveform.
Example of a simple sine wave going through the compressor:
