Grind is a powerful audio effect plugin designed to deliver a wide range of distortion and saturation effects, from gentle tube-style warmth to aggressive, mangled wavetable distortion. It offers extensive sound design options, making it an essential tool for producers and musicians looking to add character and intensity to their audio. The plugin excels at transforming sounds with its unique combination of modules, providing everything from subtle coloration to extreme audio destruction.

At the core of Grind are three main processing stages. The first stage features a wavetable lookup module that replaces incoming audio with samples from fifteen distinct wavetables, each selected for their potential to drastically alter the sound. Users can adjust window size and phase controls to further shape the tonal characteristics before the signal moves to the next stage. This approach allows for creative manipulation of the audio waveform, producing complex and dynamic textures.

Following the wavetable module, the signal passes through an algorithmic saturation and distortion section offering eleven different algorithms. These range from smooth soft-knee saturation to intense sine wave warping, enabling a broad spectrum of distortion styles. The final stage is a multi-mode filter with eleven filter models, including vintage digital and analog-modeled synth-style options, enhanced by a tempo-synced LFO for dynamic movement. Soft clipping and DC filtering at the output complete the signal chain, ensuring controlled output even at high distortion levels. Grind thrives when pushed to extremes but can also be dialed back for more conventional filtering and saturation tasks.
