Summary

Phlegetron is a multi-distortion audio plugin featuring dual-band processing with two modes to split the input signal. It offers five different distortion types and parameter automation for detailed control.

Features

• Dual-band distortion with frequency split controlled by a large center dial.
• Two band-splitting modes: "cross" (using a crossover filter) and "harm" (splitting into harmonic bins).
• Five distortion modes for each band: off, shape (wave shaper), fold (wave folder), fuzz (hard clipping), and crush (digital distortion with bit reduction).
• Three adjustable parameters per distortion band: input level, drive amount, and a mode-specific modifier (shape curve, fold threshold, fuzz gate cutoff, or bit reduction).
• Link function to mirror upper band distortion parameters from the lower band for unified control.
• Dry/wet mix control to balance processed and original signals.
• Full parameter automation support.

Usage Recommendations

Phlegetron responds best on harmonically rich audio material and allows tone shaping by emphasizing different harmonic frequencies. Experimentation is encouraged to discover effect variations based on input characteristics and distortion settings.

Formats and Compatibility

Available as VST3 and AU plugins for Windows and macOS platforms.
