For this weeks plugin, we have Temper a modern digital distortion plugin created by the developers at Creative Intent. The plugin combines a saturation curve with their own distinct phase distortion algorithm. This plugin is designed to add character and excitement to sounds in the higher frequency ranges. If you need to give any element in your mix some high-end to stand out more. The plugin also features a resonant lowpass filter which can be used to adjust the intensity of the saturation effect.

Detailed Specifications:

• Cutoff: The signal chain contains a simple resonant lowpass filter before the distortion unit. This parameter sets the cutoff frequency of that filter.
• Resonance: This parameter sets the corner resonance of the lowpass filter mentioned above.
• Curve: The first of the three parameters that control the distortion unit, Curve sets the shape of the waveshaper curve used to saturate the input signal before the phase distortion module.
• Drive: Like a traditional overdrive, Temper includes a gain step before the waveshaper. Drive determines the gain applied at that step.
• Saturation: The Saturation parameter controls the Dry/Wet mix of the waveshaper output; at 0.0, the dry input signal goes into the phase distortion module with the shaped signal modulating the phase offset. At 1.0, the wet waveshaper signal goes into the phase distortion module which is shaped by the same wet signal.
• Feedback: The signal chain includes a feedback loop, taking the output of the distortion unit and feeding it back right before the distoriton unit again (after the filter). Feedback here decides the gain multiplier on that feedback loop.
• Level: This simply adjusts the output level.
