Arturia’s lineup of hardware and software music creation tools takes in a plethora of instruments and audio plugins. Brand new to the stable is _Dist COLDFIRE - Hear it for yourself as we take it for a spin in our first look video.
For many, Arturia’s extensive line of products makes it easier to list all the things they don’t do, taking in well-regarded hardware synth instruments, audio interfaces, and other goodies, along with an enormous portfolio of software tools covering signal processing and virtual instruments alike.
Brand new to the stable is _Dist COLDFIRE, described by Arturia as their Dual Distortion Reactor. Certainly when it comes to the crunch, this distortion and saturation toolkit leaves no stone unturned.
_Dist COLDFIRE features:
Two distortion engines.
Six engine routing options comprising Serial, Parallel, Stereo, Mid Side, Bandsplit, and Feedback (controllable options).
Pre and Post filtering for each engine. Pre features six filter shapes.
Pre or Post processor compression with three selectable modes including multiband
Four modulation types assignable to most distortion parameters. Six slots available at any one time.
Advanced and simplified views with fully resizable GUI.
Arturia Say:
_Dist COLDFIRE is a dual-engine distortion effect that goes from rich tube saturation to unrestrained sonic destruction in a few clicks. Combine analog & digital algorithms with deep modulation and customization, and unlock near-infinite distortion possibilities for your sound.
See and hear it for yourself in our first look video. We explore several of _Dist COLDFIRE’s distortion and saturation models on drums, bass, and vocals, before exploiting its dual engine architecture to emulate a classic signal path across the entire mix.
