What is a wavefolding distortion?

Wavefolding  is  a  type  of  distortion  where  the  input  amplitude  peaks  get 

inverted  into a series of  folds when they exceeds a threshold. This type of 

distortion  is  well  suited  to  use  on  synthesizer  sounds  and  other  simple 

sounds.

Oru

Oru  can  be  used  on  a  stereo  or  mono  track  as  an  insert  effect  or  as 

send/return effect.

Controls

Folds

Sets the amount of  folding applied to  the  input sound from 0 to 100%, the 

more you turn up the more your sound will get distorted.

Bias

This  shifts  the  center  point  of  the  input  signal  to  change  the  color  of  the 

distortion. You get a positive bias at right and a negative one at  left. Using 

this you can apply more distortion to the positive part of the signal than the 

negative and vice versa. A small changes can dramatically alter  the sound 

so use it with caution.

Post Gain

Control  the  distortion  output  gain  of  the  wet  signal  from  ­  30dB  to  8dB 

before the mixing stage.

Mix

Mix the dry and wet signal. At full top only the wet signal pass (the effect) at 

the full bottom only the dry signal pass (the original sound).

Stage x2

Add a second distortion stage to the processing to get more grit.

Limit

Activate  the  gain  stage  clipper. This  protect  from sound peak and  can be 

used as a distortion effect if you drive it with the gain knob.

Handle  automatically  the  Post  Gain  to  keep  the  distortion  under  control. 

Once activated the post gain keep the same level as the input and the post 

gain knob became inactive.

Bypass

Bypass all the internal processing. The sound out is the same as the sound 

in, leaving the sound unaltered.
