![]() The modulation mixers can be used in one of two ways, either to get the mean of two signals or to morph between two modulators using a mix control which itself can be modulated. There are 4 LFOs with a wave menu to click and drag to choose the waveform and a rate which can be set in hertz or beat divisions using the sync option. There are 2 envelope follower modules with sensitivity (gain), attack and release settings. The modulation depth knob then represents the range in percent that will be used for modulation between the current parameter value and the maximum parameter value. The modulated parameter’s current value is used as the floor value for modulation. Each parameter that can be modulated has a modulation source menu and a small crescent knob to the right. Subvert has very similar extensive modulation options to those seen previously in Convex that can be combined to create really complex modulation parameters. The master controls has input levels, output levels and a bypass switch for each individual channel along with a 3 band master EQ and a master dry/wet and amplitude controls A combination of these two produces some cool sounds ![]() The bits control emulates the effect of bit-rate reduction and the ratio control is sample rate reduction. Each of these has their own mix control making it effectively two effects in one. The digitizer effect combines sample rate reduction and bit depth reduction. ![]() It has four distortion modes – gorgon, shape, fold and creeper with drive, oversampling and mix controls The distortion effect is a reworked version of the now discontinued Gorgon effect by Inear Display. The metalizer effect has controls for delay time, feedback and mix You have controls for carrier wave frequency (OSC1), modulation wave frequency, FM that controls the amount of modulation applied to the carrier and mix The ringmod’s input is modulated by a high frequency sine oscillator (OSC1) whose frequency is modulated by another sine oscillator (OSC2). The filter effect has low pass, bandpass, high pass and notch filters with cut-off, resonance and mix controls The interface is resizable by dragging the bottom right of the window.Īlthough the focus is on distortion, the combination of effects makes for a much more versatile effects processor.The use of 4 colour coding options for different processes which are fuschia for audio processing, green for modulation source, blue for audio output and light blue for targeted parameters.Other changes in the new version include: The bottom of the display has the menu, settings. The lower section has the master controls The lower middle section contains the modulation parameters The individual effect channels are located towards the top of the display ![]() The UI has been completely redesigned which improves the workflow whilst retaining the clean, modern look we typically see from Glitchmachines. When you think you know what sort of a sound you are going to produce, you often get unexpected results. What I really love about Subvert is the power / flexibility and the ability to surprise we tend to see in Glitchmachines products. What this means is that whilst the effect is primarily a distortion effect, it is capable of so much more from subtle saturation, bit crush type effects, metallic glitches to flat out distortion. There are 4 LFOs and 2 envelope followers which can modify virtually all parameters and this modulation is extended beyond LFOs / envelopes because they can have their output inverted or combined using mixers. However, the real creative power of Subvert is with the extensive modulations options which is typically seen in Glitchmachines VSTs and a similar modulation system implemented for Convex has also been implemented for Subvert. The individual effects as well as the effect channels can be activated or deactivated as required, enabling you to create a huge range of serial or parallel processing combinations. It has three identical channels each containing 5 signal processor effects – filter, ring modulation, metalizer, distortion and digitizer. Subvert is a three channel multi-effects processor that can be used to process any audio signal, including real time audio or hardware synths or guitars. Note that substantial changes to source code mean that Subvert 1.2 is not backwards compatible.įor more information, see the overview video: The version 1.2 update retains the core functionality of Subvert but brings a whole host of improvements – The update is free for existing customers. It is available for Windows and Mac as a 32 bit and 64 bit VST/AU plugin typically priced at $59 available direct from Glitchmachines and selected resellers. Glitchmachines have updated Subvert to version 1.2, a multi-channel distortion processor designed to decimate the frequency spectrum.
