VIOLET VECTOR

v2.0.0 // VST3 + AU // macOS

DISTORTION ENGINE

4 modes of signal destruction — hard clip, soft clip (tanh saturation), bitcrush (variable bit depth), and foldback distortion. 4x oversampled for clean aliasing-free processing.

RESONANT FILTER

State-variable filter with lowpass, highpass, and bandpass modes. Sweepable cutoff from 20Hz to 20kHz with adjustable resonance. Sits post-distortion for tone shaping.

GLITCH SEQUENCER

16-step grid with 5 effect rows — stutter, tape stop, bitcrush, reverse, and gate chop. Click to place effects, drag to paint. Tempo-synced to your DAW. Effects stack. CHAOS knob controls intensity.

SWEDISH — The Swedish Rhapsody (creepy music box)
POACHER — The Lincolnshire Poacher (MI5)
