Aberrant DSP – Shape Shifter

Dynamics Remodeler / Character Compressor

Inspired by SketchCassette’s NR Comp algorithm, ShapeShifter is a one-of-a-kind dynamics remodeler and character compressor that will completely transform the shape of your sounds.

ShapeShifter moulds a blend of multi-band upward and downward compression into a toolbox for adding colour, body, and grit to your sounds. This can take the form of anything from a subtle vibe boost to blown-open, raucous carnage.

Features

• Upward / Downward compression controlled with a common Ratio
• Transients section with Ratio and Threshold controls, allowing for separate control of downward compression
• Upward compression Floor control for taming room sound or unwanted noise
• Flexible envelope shaping through Attack and Release time controls
• Tone adjustment for broad shifts in colour and character
• A wide-ranging Drive control with two models: A (gentle) and B (hard)
• Asymmetry control for attaining harsher, grittier drive textures by way of even-order harmonics
• Dry / Wet mixer for easy parallel processing
• Custom preset system with 64 factory presets, showcasing ShapeShifter’s versatility
