destruqtor is a companding distortion/saturation/exciter plugin. Unlike traditional distortion, destruqtor applies expanding compression before the waveshaper and an opposite compression after the effect, which preserves and emphasises transients and adds more warmth to your sounds without sacrificing dynamic range.

Even & Odd
Control even and odd harmonics individually. From classic softclipping and warm tube-like saturations to complete destruction of the signal

Low & High Cutoff
Choose what frequencies to apply distortion to while bypassing other frequencies, useful for subtle saturation effects without completely destroying the low end

Dynamic Range
destruqtor is a companding distortion, meaning it preverses dynamic range, unlike what traditional distortion/clipping does

Antialiased
destruqtor has a built-in 8x oversampling and in addition to that it uses ADAA algorithm, reducing aliasing distortion and achieving more harmonic sound

Gain Compensation
destruqtor has a gain compensation mechanism that sets the gain automatically based on the source material (double click the VU meter), and an additional gain parameter for more manual control

Minimal UI
Cute and easy to navigate interface. Dark & light modes. Freely resizable :3

My plugins should be supported in all DAWs that can work with VST3 or CLAP (the best plugin format ever) plugins.

Unfortunately some plugin formats are not supported, like AAX and VST2 (due to licensing issues).
AU is not supported for now, but I am working on providing AU2 versions of my plugins.

For now you can use a wrapper plugin to use my plugins in Logic/ProTools/any other DAW that doesn’t support VST3. Element by Kushview is a free wrapper plugin. Check it out, it’s really cool :3

Supported OSes are:
Windows 8+ (64 bit only)
OSX 10.8+
Linux (glibc 2.30+, 64 bit only)

Supported CPU architectures are: x86 and Arm/M1 (so most PCs, you shouldn’t worry about it if you dont know what that means)
OpenGL 3.3+ is required. Most desktop PCs support it so it shouldn’t be an issue.
