WAVE BOX

DYNAMIC DUAL WAVESHAPER

Wave Box is a plugin of dynamic dual waveform which can be used for symmetric and asymmetric distortion. A waveform is a type of distortion in which the input signal is mapped to the output by applying a fixed or variable format function. 

The Wave Box has two separate waveforms that can be mixed while being modulated by 2 LFOs and 1 envelope follower . You can design your own waveform curves by combining and adjusting 12 preset functions (tanh, erf, sinh, sin, linear, abs, invert, floor, round, ceil, gauss 1, gauss 2). 

The Wave Box can range from tube flavored overdrive mild to digital severity extreme. 

SYMMETRIC VS ASYMMETRIC

When a shaping function is applied equally to the positive and negative part of the signal ( symmetric wave shaping ), odd harmonics are generated . Instead, when a shaping function is applied only to the positive or negative part (asymmetric waveform), even harmonics are generated. 

In Asymmetric Mode (± on), the first shaping function is applied to the positive part, while the second shaping function is applied to the negative. Bias, in this case, controls an added offset between the positive and negative part of the signal. 

In Symmetric Mode (± off), both shaping functions are applied to the integer signal. Bias, in this case, controls the mix between the two functions.
