Okay Synthesizer is giving away Okay Distortion, a creative distortion plugin that lets you stack six different distortion engines in any order. Originally built into Okay Synthesizer’s drum machine “Bingo Drum Machine”, the engines were so well-loved by users that the developer extracted them into a standalone, expanded plugin. From lo-fi grit and glitchy textures to aggressive analog-style saturation, Okay Distortion handles it all in a single instance.
What is Okay Synthesizer “Okay Distortion”?
Okay Distortion gives you six distortion engines that can be freely stacked in any order along the signal chain. Each engine has its own unique character, and combining them unlocks textures that no single distortion plugin could produce on its own.
Key Features
- Bitcrusher — Breaks audio into particles to generate gritty digital noise. Subtle settings add attitude; extreme settings completely reshape the source.
- Sample Rate Reducer — Lowers the sample rate for a collapsed, retro lo-fi sound.
- Wavefolder — Folds back the peaks of the signal to create unique harmonic content that doesn’t exist in nature.
- Feedback — Loops the signal back into itself. A small amount adds warmth and weight; pushed further, it becomes unpredictable chaos.
- Soft & Hard Clipper — Soft clipping for rounded drive, hard clipping for flattened, crushed tones. Both modes can be used simultaneously in the same chain.
- Pedal — Blends the legendary BOSS DS-1 and ProCo RAT pedal circuits with a single knob.
- All six engines can be freely stacked and reordered in the signal chain.
- VST3 / AU — macOS (Apple Silicon / Intel Universal Binary) & Windows supported.
