X Wave is a powerful symmetric wave shaper plugin designed to enhance your audio with overdrive and distortion effects, as well as bit reduction. It allows users to create custom wave shapes graphically, using up to 16 adjustable points. With two distinct slope types, curve and stairs, you can tailor your sound precisely—curve slopes excel at producing smooth overdrive textures, while stairs slopes deliver crisp bit reduction effects.

The plugin includes an upsampling feature that processes the signal at four times the original sample rate, effectively minimizing aliasing artifacts and preserving audio clarity. A built-in limiter ensures your output stays below zero decibels, preventing unwanted clipping. The pre-gain control boosts the input signal before shaping, allowing for dynamic control over the amount of distortion or bit crushing applied to your sound.

X Wave also features an advanced preset manager that saves presets directly to your hard drive, making it easy to share sounds across multiple plugin instances. The intuitive dropdown menu provides quick access to your saved settings. Additionally, wet and dry knobs offer seamless blending of the processed waveform with the original signal, giving you full control over the effect's presence in your mix.
