<\/a><\/p>\nSaying that, the DISTORTION module remains at RP-Distort 2\u2019s heart, however, but now boasts no fewer than 52 Distortion types, including Lo-Fi; 2 Band Distortion; Amp\/Cab models, and much more. Moreover, it has been expanded with a four-band PRE-DISTORT EQ and a four-band POST-DISTORT EQ with variable frequency and bandwidth control, both of which can be operated graphically or, alternatively, with knobs (by activating the original RP DISTORT 1 EQ setting), and is rounded out with a noise GATE. Another addition well worth noting here are the double WAVE SHAPER editors \u2014 having first selected Dual Wave-Shaper as a WaveShaper distortion type \u2014 to create custom distortions.<\/p>\n
An analogue-modelled \u2018Filter\u2019 module \u2014 expanded to include ZDF (zero-latency) options for its HI-PASS FILTER and LOWPASS FILTER \u2014 sits alongside a COMPRESSOR module, now with a dB (logarithmic) mode and a LIN (linear) mode, while the original WIDEN module has also been expanded to include a CHORUS mode. It is now possible to rearrange the order of these modules in the PATH section; once selected, the audio signal path order is instantly visualised in the new user interface.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, modulating various parameters has been taken to a new level with the MOD MATRIX & LFO section, allowing users to choose from a regular (MOD MATRIX) or ADVANCED MODE modulation matrix, complete with four LFOs (Low Frequency Oscillators) \u2014 LFO 1 through to 4 \u2014 that can be tempo- based and triggered in various ways.<\/p>\n
What\u2019s more, RP-Distort 2\u2019s easy-to-use MANAGER makes light work of organising presets and BANK FOLDERS. Fortunately for those taking a trip into its wonderfully-creative world of ear-opening distortion, RP-Distort 2 comes packed with perfectly pitched presets \u2014 \u201c…fantastic for any style of music, and for those that aren\u2019t afraid to experiment!\u201d So says self-confessed synth freak and world-renowned sound designer Rob Papen as someone who should surely know what he is talking about.<\/p>\n
