๐ BE GLAM & EXPRESS YOUR TASTE
Pick one of 4 separate skins from base, FREE edition* - they are purely cosmetic.
All of them can be later on replaced and will work with previous projects so you don't need to worry in case you want to change V-Dist to different look.
Or if you want further control, get your hands (or hooves... or paws) on V-Dist PRO which adds additional functionality like oversampling, banana mode and allows you to individually control input & output gain!

Anyone who thinks this is some sort of a 'cutesy' VST not to be taken seriously will have to pull their socks up - it can be an absolute BEAST of a plugin, taking distortion from tickling one's fancy... to the utter depths of Hades. The pony-style GUI only makes the audio experience all the more surrealistic. A must have for anyone wanting to take distortion to new levels. BTW works great in Reaper DAW. Kudos to you M.V.M. for having created and shared this gem! ๐ค
Happy to hear that you enjoy it~ ๐
I don't know if you read comments on here, but I will say that I used to be a brony when I was younger; early access to the internet does a lot to a zoomer. But I've kinda grown out of it once I got to around 10 or so; just found other interests, I guess.
I've seen this a couple of times while finding music software on this platform, but I didn't decide to download it until now. Although I haven't made a song with it yet, I have tested it out on a few sounds, and it is a surprisingly nice-sounding distortion plugin. Even moving the knob halfway onto drums (Virtuosity Drums for Sforzando, to be specific) adds enough beef to make it full; you likely could use even less for this as well depending on the sounds you're using. I've even cranked up the knob fairly high on something like a chord progression with sine waves and (with a compressor, of course) it still sounds surprisingly good. That's not even to touch on the fact that the art is amazing; props to the artist for the UI.
I am very tempted to use this more seriously now that I've seen what it turns a sound into. You've done good work here!
Hey, I do check comments here occasionaly ^.^ and I am very happy that you find my plugin useful ๐
Thank you for this comment, you've made my day!
