Joachim's Mars filter (08-Feb-09) | Planet Filter Series

Mars - The weapon of mass distortion
Mode:

- 0: Bypass
  Does nothing. Good for comparing what you did to the original.
- 1: Red crust (based on square root and more)
  A soft mooshy kind of distortion that leaves the bass round and and fat.
- 2: Phobos (based on sinus and more)
  Phat crushing machine. Adds some agression and edge.
- 3: Deimos (based on inverse tangens and more)
  The heavy deep plunge into round warm distortion, but not as bass emphasising as Red crust.
- 4: Cratered (a simple tube simulation)
  Flat hard and aggressive. This one squashes the bass end a lot more than the first three types.
- 5: God of iron (another simple tube simulation)
  Similar to Cratered, but less aggressive. Amount is simply mix between clean and distorted.
- 6: Battle axe (resembles ring modulation)
  Creates strange ringy overtones and also adds muffling. Then clipping is applied.
- 7: Scarred (a more sublte but correct tube simulation)
  The effects of this algorithm are not easily heard, but this should resemble what happens in tube electronics a lot more than Cratered.
- 8: Bruised (aggressive wave squash)
  Even wilder than Cratered, and this one switches the lowpass filter into "muffled" mode.
- 9: Rusty (based on inverse tangens and more)
  Resembles Deimos, but a slightly different and possibly more clean algorithm.
- 10: Steel pain (sinus)
  Quite a simple formula, but the effect is drastic. Deep bass curls up in agony, and the effect resembles FM modulation a bit. Notice that PreGain and Amount have the same effect with this algorithm.

PreGain:
Here you can adjust the volume of the signal before it enters the distortion.
Amount:
The intensity of the distortion effect itself. This parameter has a slightly different depending on what mode you are using.
Treble:
Treble attenuator. When set to 0 it is disabled. Works slightly differently when using the "Bruised" mode.
Bass:
Bass attenuator highpass filter. When set to 0 it is disabled and uses less CPU.
