01Overview

MWaveFolderMB is a distortion effect that MeldaProduction describes as inspired by analog circuits and developed with digital processing. The developer says it covers a wide character range, from subtle harmonic enhancement to extreme destruction. Rather than distorting the full signal at once, the plugin divides the input into separate bands so you can shape each frequency range on its own. It is available as a Windows and macOS plugin in VST3, VST2, AU and AAX formats.

Multiband Shaping and Modulation

Broadband distortion can be useful, but it often overpowers a mix and leaves little room for control. MWaveFolderMB lets you split the input into one to six fully configurable independent bands, with a different custom shape in each. Adjustable oscillator shape technology defines the waveform in each band.

Four modulators give the shapes movement over time. The developer lists LFO, audio level follower, envelope generator, randomize and pitch detector as sources that can modulate any parameter. Four multiparameters and smart randomisation add further ways to explore new sounds quickly.

Workflow, Controls and Processing

The interface comes in two modes: an easy screen for beginners and an edit screen for experienced users. It is stylable, resizable and GPU accelerated, and it includes a visualisation engine with classic meters and time graphs.

For mixing, the plugin offers M/S processing, single channel mode and surround processing up to 8 channels. Automatic gain compensation and a safety limiter help manage output level. Up-sampling is adjustable from 1x to 16x, and the plugin can sync to host tempo. MIDI controllers can be assigned with MIDI learn. Presets are managed globally, with A-H slots for quick comparisons and an online preset exchange.
