Reactive. Playable. Alive.
Introducing BRUITAGE, a new take on distortion: reactive, playable, alive. Instead of simply adding drive, BRUITAGE listens and responds—turning your performance into a dialogue between signal and living grit.
At its core are six hand‑tuned algorithms, each exploring a different facet of distortion, chaos,and sonic imperfection. Dual parallel cores let character stack without blurring the hit, whileexpressive control and a transient-aware, reactive wet/dry blend keep the edge intact—or letharmonics take over—by choice.
From parallel overdrives with punch, to wavefolded walls, shoegaze-style haze, glitching bitcrushes, and tape-worn wobble, BRUITAGE celebrates noise as music. An intuitive interface and mastering-grade dynamics (compression and dual-mode limiting from the BOREALIS FX engine) keep extremes musical—making distortion playable, immediate, and inspiring.
Features
- Touch to tone: Performance drives amount, texture, and motion—instant expression.
- Musical headroom: Integrated compression and limiting keep levels controlled.
- Parallel Cores with Reactive Wet/Dry: The engine and envelope follower can ride wet/dry so the effect “breathes” around transients or overtakes them on demand.
- Performance Surface (X/Y/Z)
- Six Hand-Tuned Algorithms: crafted over weeks to feel immediate, musical, and mix-ready. Fewer choices, faster emotion. Each mode comes alive with the reactive engine, parallel blend, and envelope-driven dynamics.
- Mastering-Grade Dynamics (Borealis Lineage): Transparent compressor and dual-mode limiter (Modern and Vintage) tame volatility without dulling impact.
- Noise Effect Playground: BRUITAGE reframes distortion as a performance tool—reactive, playable, expressive. It
delivers expansive sound design, advanced control when needed, and touch-driven grit when it
matters most: while creating.
