Ohm Force asks you to care about Ohmicide[S] after 18 years

Ohm Force just released Ohmicide, an updated version of their legendary distortion plugin from 18 years ago. The audio company packed the software with 111 different distortion algorithms that range from classic analog sounds to bizarre experimental effects. Musicians can choose between Standard, XXX, or ODD modes to get different flavors of distortion. The plugin works on multiple frequency bands and lets users split signals or keep them parallel. Audio engineers can apply the effects to everything from guitar sounds to drum loops and bass lines.

The software comes loaded with 108 presets including 30 created by Keep Forest audio engineers. Users get access to a visual preset browser that makes finding sounds quick and easy. The plugin features four macro controllers per preset that can handle unlimited mapping and custom response curves. Musicians can modulate every audio parameter with envelope followers and ADSR controls. The modulation system even lets users modulate other modulations for complex sound design.

Ohmicide targets producers who want to add texture to synthesizers, create cutting guitar tones, or design hammering drum loops. The plugin also works for mastering engineers who need controlled distortion and harmonic enhancement. Ohm Force built the interface to be self-documenting with clear explanations of each feature. The company says the plugin serves as a complete distortion solution for modern music production. Musicians can use the software for everything from subtle harmonic enhancement to extreme sound mangling.
