A completely different approach to distortion.
Even though we specialize in spatial audio technology, we also burn for interesting audio algorithms outside of our immersive focus. A perfect example of this is MIYA.
MIYA is a wavelet distortion plugin. Unlike ordinary distortion effects, this plugin processes the original signal by detecting the zero-crosses and replaces the intervals between them with additively synthesized waveforms. In other words, the plugin replaces the original with a new audio signal by keeping just one aspect of the incoming sound (i.e., the zero-cross intervals). This process creates a unique digital distortion, in which the listener can recognize both the original's footprints and the synthesized sound's sonority.
Take a listen
Miya enables a wide range of versatile sound synthesis. To give you an impression, we have compiled a set of listening examples here.
However, the best way to get to know the plugin is with our free trial version, which you can download below.
A RADICALLY DIFFERENT APPROACH
MIYA's unique digital distortion technology is a perfect example for our passion for interesting audio algorithms. In MIYA the listener can recognize both the original's footprints and the synthesized sound.
WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET
Graphic visualizer
MIYA provides immediate visual feedback over your sound using four different colors.
The orange vertical line indicates the detected zero-crosses, while the grey line shows the original incoming signal.
The blue line plots the generated signal, and the green line visualizes the output from the plugin, which consists of a mix of wet and dry signals.
ZERO-CROSSING DETECTION
Audio analyzer
Adjust with Skip the length of the wavelets and skip zero crosses - the longer the wavelet, the lower the synthesized tone.
Use Minimum Length to create unique resonances by discarding the detected zero crossings based on the set time in microsecond
RE-SYNTHESIZE YOUR SOUNDS
Harmonics
Use the sliders to precisely set the harmonics and sub-harmonics within the additively synthesized signal that lets your sounds stand out. MIYA offers you a variety of harmonics ranging from 1st up to 5th.
Adjust with Duty Cycle the length of the wavelet in time.
MAKE IT FIT YOUR MIX
Dynamics & filter
Use MIYA's internal gate to eliminate quieter sounds (e.g., background noise) or emphasize the original signal's rhythmic aspects.
Furthermore, MIYA enables you to boost the signal generated by the additive synthesizer based on the amplitude of the initially detected wavelet using the Boost parameter.
Use the low- and high-pass filters to adjust the frequency range of the generated signal.
BRING IT ALL TOGETHER
Output
MIYA lets you adjust the dry and wet signal ratio to blend the input signal with your newly generated signal. Using the output level, you can adjust the overall level of your output signal.
