Evoke the sound of color
Let the sonic paint drip over your beats, melodies and sounds. The Analog Heat +FX is an all-around sound colouring and manipulation box. It gives you a wide color palette of processing possibilities. Reordering them to experiment and find your own signal flow, with your own special timbres. Whatever the source, and wherever the destination. Enhance, destroy, ignite, and make it drift – let your sound be your canvas.
The Heat block
This is the heart and heat of this machine. Add warmth, depth and character with eight fully analog stereo distortion circuits – ranging from a subtle clean boost to complete annihilation. Each circuit offers its own unique way of processing sound. Clean boost, saturation, enhance, mid-drive, crunch, distortion, harmonic fuzz, or high gain. Ready to enhance or destroy your sampler, drum machine, synth, vocal, drums, master bus, calimba – whatever source that comes to mind.
The digital effects
Drift away when adding movement and texture with the worn-out warble effect. Let the inspiration be whatever nostalgic magnetic media comes to mind. Continue that journey with a dash of chorus. Create rich, immersive soundscapes with the delay and reverb effects. Drip grit with a dash of bit & sample rate reduction - adding that special touch of lo-fi glitchyness.
Squeeze or fine tune the dynamic range of your signal with the compressor, and let bass focus nail down the stereo field to mono at the chosen cross-over point, allowing you to get a fat and focused low end.
