01Overview

Teuri is an effects plugin from Lese in the distortion category. Its core idea is a "Cellular Distortion" system: several distortion models sit at different points on an XY pad, and you move between them to blend their character. The developer says the morphing is continuous rather than stepped, so you can move from fuzz toward overdrive or from saturation toward bitcrushing without snapping between settings. The plugin ships in VST3, AU and AAX formats.

Distortion Morphing on an XY Pad

Teuri places distortion models on an XY pad. Dragging across the pad blends the models in continuous steps, with no snapping or quantizing, according to Lese. The developer says the internal Positional Blending system handles the smooth transitions between models, including differences in output level between them, so the blend stays even as you move.

The model palette covers analog circuit emulations and experimental processes. Lese describes the range as including tube-style saturation, germanium fuzz and more abstract digital degradation.

Modulation and Workflow

Teuri includes a modulation system similar to the one in Glow and Smear. It offers up to four modulators. Each can be synchronized to the DAW's BPM and retriggered by the DAW's playback state, which lets you lock movement across the XY pad to your session tempo.

The plugin requires OpenGL, so check your graphics setup before installing.

How does the XY pad work in Teuri?

Each distortion model sits at a point on the XY pad. Moving through the pad blends between models continuously, and Lese says the blending handles level differences between models automatically.
