Dieter FX
Effect - VST3 - v0.9.0 - heatDistorts kicks for hardtekk, hardcore and gabber: Hits, Bass and Pre EQ shape the kick, two Disto stages bend it, Feedback, Ring, Comb and Phaser colour it, Gate, EQ and Limiter finish it. Press Delta to hear only what changed.
Demo - full version coming soon
- A big distortion for hardtekk, hardcore and gabber kicks: Hits (pitch drop, click, tail gate), Bass (sub boost, a clean sub kept out of the distortion, mono below), two Disto stages with 41 curves or drawn ones, Feedback, Ring, Comb and Phaser tuned to a note, Gate, EQ and Limiter, oversampling up to 16x.
- The live transfer curve on the Stage; two LFOs, an envelope follower and eight macros to modulate anything.
- 51 presets.
Dieter FX for Windows x64, VST3. Plays as a demo until the full version is out.
The Dieter installer holds Dieter FX and Dieter.
Put Dieter FX on the kick's mixer track. Go through the presets, then Disto 1 and 2 (drive, curve, morph) while watching the transfer curve, then Bass for the sub and Feedback for a tuned screech. The sound comes about 33 ms late, always the same: FL makes up for it. For hits exactly on the grid, route a MIDI clip to it (Hits started by notes) or set Hits to the sidechain.
Windows x64 for now. See CLAUDE.md for the map and how to add a plugin.

Added
- Dieter FX - the distortion chain for hardtekk, hardcore and gabber kicks on the incoming sound: Input, Hits (pitch drop, click, tail gate; started by the sound, the sidechain or notes), Bass (sub boost, clean sub, mono below), Pre EQ, two Disto stages (41 curves, drawn or from a file, morph, bias, auto gain, mid/side, up to three bands, oversampling Off-16x live and for rendering), Feedback, Ring, Comb, Phaser/Flanger tuned to a note or the played key, Gate keyed on the clean kick, EQ, Output, Limiter, Mix and Delta; two LFOs, an envelope follower and eight macros to modulate it. One constant latency (about 33 ms at 48 kHz) whatever is switched. A paid plugin (product
dieter). - The Dieter window (1280 x 760, resizable): the chain as a bar (a module's name opens its page, its LED switches it), pages Hits, Disto, Bass / EQ, FX, Mod, Output; one large Stage view and three small ones (transfer curve, in / out, spectrum with the EQ curves to drag, the chain's flow), a press on a small one shows it large; the sources and macros down the right.
- 51 presets in Hardtekk, Hardcore, Gabber, Hardstyle, Industrial and Subtle, each with 4-6 named macros (Drive, Body, Tail, Screech ...); Dice rolls a sane sound (limiter on, Mix and Delta and the modulation kept), Mutate nudges it.
