BlepFX Introduces FREE Destruqtor Distortion Plugin
A Fresh Release from BlepFX
Two New Plugins: Destruqtor and Prisma
BlepFX, an indie developer, is entering the plugin world with two new releases: Prisma (starting at $20+) and Destruqtor, which is available for free on macOS, Windows, and Linux. Destruqtor can be downloaded with a pay-what-you-want option, making it accessible to everyone.
Installation Process
How to Get Started with BlepFX Plugins
Before diving into the features, let’s cover installation. BlepFX uses a terminal-based installer with instructions available for macOS (via Terminal) and Windows (via PowerShell).
Manual Installation Option
For users who prefer a manual approach, you can drop the CLAP/VST3 files into the designated folders. However, macOS users may need to disable Gatekeeper to run the plugin effectively.
Destruqtor Plugin Features
Unique Companding Distortion
Destruqtor offers a creative approach to distortion, adding warmth and punch without sacrificing dynamic range. The plugin achieves this by using “expanding compression before the waveshaper and opposite compression after the effect.”
Minimal Controls, Maximum Impact
While it has a simple interface, Destruqtor delivers big results. You can apply subtle saturation for warmth or push the plugin for heavier, impactful distortion.
X/Y Pad for Harmonics Control
Destruqtor’s fully resizable GUI features an X/Y pad, which allows control over odd and even harmonics. A filter cutoff slider further enhances the effect by letting you select which frequencies are affected and which are bypassed.
Automatic Gain Adjustment
Double-clicking the VU meter adjusts the gain to match input and output loudness based on the average signal from the last five seconds. Otherwise, gain can be set manually.
Prisma Plugin Features
A Simple Yet Powerful Chromatic Manipulator
Prisma takes a minimalist approach and can add excitement to any loop. It’s designed as a chromatic manipulator with pitch quantizing and pitch/formant-shifting capabilities, perfect for genres like color bass and dubstep.
Ideal for Melody and Emotion-Driven Music
This plugin transforms simple loops into vibrant, engaging sounds, adding richness and color with ease. Prisma is available as a pay-what-you-want option, starting at $20.
Format and Compatibility
Both Destruqtor and Prisma are available in CLAP and VST3 formats, compatible with macOS (10.8+), Windows (8+), and Linux (glibc 2.30+).
