Distortion quality
Corrosion DSP offers 4x oversampling that is sure to push your signal to its limits, while analogue-style anti-aliasing filters maintain a smooth but robust sound. Corrosion ultimately achieves a balance between trembling grit and subtle distortion, but remains flexible and can be pushed extensively towards either end of the spectrum. The range of distortion quality available in Corrosion begs for experimentation and creative use of the algorithms and sculpting tools that Sinevibes provides within the unit, but equally, restrained use of Corrosion's potential can bring a vibrant warmth to your signal that is reminiscent of traditional distortion effects units.
Algorithms
Corrosion's distortion is produced through 15 different algorithms to ensure a distinct and interesting character for every signal produced. Variety is key and Sinevibes offer a comprehensive selection of algorithms for you to choose and tweak to perfection. Traditional clipping distortions such as "Soft Clip" provide a nostalgic and aggressive subtly boosted tone, while unique and unusual curves such as "Triangle Foldback" offer guttural and warping destruction in a dramatic difference indicative of a range that is sure to attract producers and musicians from all walks of the art.
Flexible frequency crossover
Sinevibes Corrosion offers a thorough selection of control parameters so that you might sculpt the algorithms on selection to your specific requirements. Sinevibes offer the ability to simultaneously control Corrosion's distortion upsampling filter and mix in the dry signal complete with a state-variable high pass filter with -48dB/octave slope. Balance is easily attainable, and mix variety is simple to explore with just minor adjustments of the "Spectrum" slider; you decide whether Corrosion is a delicate bolster to your dry signal or an overwhelming rush of energy.
Stereo width effects with gain tilt control
The precise mix of your distortion through Corrosion is easily accessible with distortion gain up to 24dB and tilt control for natural stereo width effects. Sinevibes have taken no liberties in allowing you to position your signal and accurately determine levels within your stereo field; Corrosion will never muddy your mix or overwhelm the stereo field unless directed to, so the perfect mix is only a few tweaks away.
Exponential noise gate
Sinevibes Corrosion provides an exponential noise gate for simple noise reduction up to creatively "chopping" audio. Corrosion is more than capable of cutting out any unwanted signal spill in acoustic recordings, but might also produce a forceful stuttering effect with the rhymic muting and releasing of a signal that is a powerful tool in electronic music. The range that the exponential noise gate within Corrosion provides suggests that this handy distortion unit is adept at working through multiple genres and is ready to be pushed to the limits of what a distortion unit can be expected to do.
User interface
Corrosion remains visually and practically thematic with the range of effects units that Sinevibes offers. The user interface provides intuitive access to a complex and comprehensive distortion unit so that your time is spent discovering exciting new levels of distortion rather than digging through layers of parameters. Colour-coded graphical elements, consistent name, mapping, and unit implementation for all parameters in both the user interface and automation lend to easy navigation, while built-in preset management functions ensure that you can find and manage the inspiration you need to make quality music.
