I cannot get it to work. the tones are not altered at all, what am I doing wrong?
I pick a file. click on harmonictsand then hit the play button.. but the tone is still playing undistorted
Installed latest version, and restarted PC.

so I have to select CUSTOM, I did not understand that. Thoght I dis select distiorion when markin EVEN and ODD and giveing a value.
Works now. Many thanks

If you add even order harmonics, they will produce asymmetric waveforms, and thereby produce a DC component in the resulting signal.The playback has significant amount of DC.
that's true. but the software should have removed the DC after that.If you add even order harmonics, they will produce asymmetric waveforms, and thereby produce a DC component in the resulting signal.
exactly. dc is audible .Even in such understandable cases, there is/should be an option to eliminate DC. DC is a problem in ABX test.
Talking about amplifiers, they must be protected against DC in their design!!!
Let me know what settings you were using. DISTORT will use pink noise to equalize levels and to remove DC between different settings.that's true. but the software should have removed the DC after that.
users can easily generate full level DC without even knowing it, and break their equipments.
as long as even harmonics is selected, it will have DC.Let me know what settings you were using. DISTORT will use pink noise to equalize levels and to remove DC between different settings.
I’ll take a look when I get back to my computer next week. At least in theory that shouldn’t happenas long as even harmonics is selected, it will have DC.
and yes, output wave form contains dc.
same to your vst plugin.

Harmonic content is a side-effect of the non-linear transfer function applied to the signal in time domain. I don't see how it can control phase of individual harmonics, but I'll do some research.
DeltaWave beta-test was a huge success, thanks to all of you! This new beta-test is again, only for the brave and the curious
Introducing DISTORT - free software designed to help determine the audibility thresholds of various audio distortions with your own equipment, at your own pace, with your own music. Some basic instructions and installer download are available on the Distort web page:
https://distortaudio.org
Just like DeltaWave, DISTORT runs on 64-bit Windows and likes lots of memory to process larger files and faster CPU, if you like a faster response.
The basic idea is to shape the desired harmonic and noise floor distortion and then to apply it to any piece of recorded music. You can play the distorted file directly, using the play button, or save it as a 32-bit WAV and play it using your preferred player software. See if you can spot 1% THD!
My hope is that DISTORT can help answer some burning audio questions and help to dispel some persistent audio myths:
My plan is to build more distortion generators into DISTORT over time, from different filter types to jitter, to variable group delay and some others. All with the same goal in mind: to determine at what levels these distortions become audible. Any suggestions on which ones you'd like to see first are welcome.
- Is SINAD of 110dB audible?
- Is THD below 1% audible?
- Do even harmonics sound better than odd?
- Do higher-order harmonics sound less pleasant?
- Does SET distortion really sound good?
- At what level does the noise floor or the mains frequency become audible?
- What kind of music is improved by lower THD? Even harmonics? Lower noise floor?
- etc., etc., etc.
If you discover an error or a crash, a short description of what you were doing, a screen shot, and/or a log file (available from Help->Logging->View Log menu) would be very helpful. Please give DISTORT at try, and as always, I welcome all feedback and suggestions!

It is the sign of the term with the corresponding exponent, if you expand the transfer function as a taylor series.
So, for instance f(x)=c_1 x+ c_2 x^2 and c_1 >0 has positive H2 if c_2 > 0 and negative H2 if c_2 <0, and so on.
If you want I can try to make a macOS version - it all depends on whether you want to share the sources.
