"This section drastically alters the harmonic structure of an incoming waveshape by cutting them

into several amplitude ranges and reconstructing them. On oscillators the may create complex FM

or sync like effects, while on live audio it creates new esoteric distortion types. Destroy your sound

like never before!"  (Flexor Manual)

dspLoad 4.10/7.40/4.10

"a wave-shaper that uses a sine waveform to generate the first 4 harmonics of the fundamental frequency. The harmonics are aligned at 90 degrees which makes it ideal for harmonic shaping. It has one input and 4 outputs (one for each harmonic overtone). It can also be used on any complex audio signal as a wave-shaper." (Flexor Manual)  Max poly:16

"This shaper 'Crumbles' the incoming audio signal: it

divides the signal into several amplitude ranges (crumble factor), and aligns them side by side. Crumble starts its position “DC Shifted” (see DC Shifter). The amount knob sweeps from minimum to maximum division as indicated by the Crumble factor. The crumble process sounds extremely aggressive, as it changes the harmonic structure of the wave according to its amplitude." (Flexor Manual)  Max poly:16

"This shaper 'Harms' the incoming audio signal. This is done by dividing the signal into several amplitude ranges (Harm factor), and aligning them side by side.

Harm starts its division at the zero crossing point. The

amount knob sweeps from minimum to maximum division as indicated by the harm factor. The Harm process sounds extremely aggressive, as it changes the harmonic structure of the wave according to its amplitude." (Flexor Manual)  Max poly:16

dspLoad 16.70/13.50/13.50

"This shaper 'Shreds' the incoming audio signal. This

is done by dividing the signal into several amplitude ranges (Shred factor), and aligning them side by side.

Shred starts its division in two points: the zero crossing

point and the clipping point. The amount knob sweeps

from minimum to maximum division as indicated by the shred factor. The Shred process sounds extremely aggressive, as it changes the harmonic structure of the wave according to its amplitude." (Flexor Manual)

"Squash is a shaper that 'Squashes' the incoming audio

signal. This is done by dividing the signal into several

amplitude ranges and then smoothly folding them back to

be aligned side by side. Squash starts its division at both

clipping points and the smoothness of the divisions avoids sharp amplitude changes. The Squash process sounds a bit like FM in that it changes the harmonic structure of the wave according to its amplitude." (Flexor Manual)

dspLoad   18.10/14.80/14.90

"This shaper 'Squeezes' the incoming audio signal. This is done by dividing the signal into several smooth amplitude ranges (‘Squeeze factor’ or Octave control), and folding them smoothly back inverted to be aligned side by side. The smoothness of the divisions avoids sharp amplitude changes. Squeeze starts its division at the negative clipping point. At its zero position, the Pulse Width relation between the incoming signal sides will be offset slightly. The amount knob sweeps from minimum to maximum division as indicated by the squeeze factor. The

Squeeze process sounds a bit like FM, as it changes the harmonic structure of the wave according to its amplitude." (Flexor Manual)  Max poly:7

"This shaper 'Squishes' the incoming audio signal. This is done by dividing the signal into several smooth amplitude ranges (Squish factor), and folding them smoothly back inverted to be aligned side by side. The smoothness of the divisions avoids sharp amplitude changes. Squish starts its division at both clipping points. The amount knob sweeps from minimum to maximum division as indicated by the squish factor. The Squish process sounds a bit like FM, as it changes the harmonic structure of the wave according to its amplitude."

dspLoad  16.30/13.10/13.10

"This shaper 'Warps' the incoming audio signal: it divides the signal into several amplitude ranges (Warp factor), and folds them back, inverted, to be aligned side by side. Warp starts its division at both clipping points. The amount knob sweeps from minimum to maximum division as indicated by the Warp factor. The Warp process sounds a bit like sync, as it changes the harmonic structure of the wave according to its amplitude."
