TheGRINDER Dynamics & Distortion Plug-In

TheGRINDER is a free, coffee-themed distortion/saturation VST3 plug-in made by Nodens Software. With resonant ladder filter and bitcrusher, as well as a high shelf boost. The controls are as follows:

Bean Size: Amount of saturation
Grind Amount: Amount of bitcrushing
Caffeine Amount: High shelf boost at >10kHz
Temperature: Ladder filter acting as a low pass filter.
Concentration: Adjusts the resonance (Q) of the ladder filter.
Hot Plate: Toggles the aforementioned ladder filter on and off. When it is set at the off position, the filter is bypassed.

Signal Chain:
Bitcrusher --> High shelf boost --> Ladder filter (Bypassable) --> Saturation

Windows Only! Requires VST3 Compatible Host.
Install Instructions:
Drag the downloaded file into "C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3". This process may require administrator privileges as Windows by default doesn't like people snooping around that folder.
