01Overview

Ohmicide-S is built around distortion, with a 7-band architecture that lets you process different frequency ranges separately or in parallel. Its library covers analog-style amplification as well as harsher, more experimental characters. Each distortion type has its own modulation controls, and integrated dynamics tools handle gating, expansion and a two-knob upward compressor. The plugin is available in VST2, AU and AAX formats for macOS and Windows.

Distortion Types and Processing Modes

The distortion library includes 111 algorithms, made from 37 core types across three modes: Standard, XXX and ODD. The developer describes the Classics group as covering analog amplification from guitar amps to consoles and turntables. The Edgy group focuses on cubic and v-shaped distortions for synth leads, while the Wacky group contains more unusual processing. The XXX mode is described as more analog-like, and ODD as deliberately broken, with gritty sweeps.

Each distortion type comes with its own modulation controls, and the bias can be set to one of three behaviors per family.

Multiband Routing and Dynamics

Ohmicide-S splits the signal into bands by frequency, or lets you run them in parallel. A low-end band can be kept available for separate treatment, and pre and post bands allow serial distortion chains.

Dynamics tools include gating of the noise or the signal, filtering, feedback control, and mono or stereo operation. Macros with four controllers per preset can map several parameters at once, with adjustable ranges and response curves.
