Ohmicide:Melohman is just one of the best software distortions ever made. And when you read "one of the best" you can be sure we're still humble guys: there aren't many decent distortions in the plug-in world, and none is as rich and complex, yet easy to use - and affordable - as this Ohm beast. It's common knowledge that "a great distorted sound changes everything" and it's exactly what Ohmicide:Melohman delivers. In one death blow. Ohmicide:Melohman can work with up to 4 frequency bands, all four bands having their own independent knobs for Noise Gate, Dynamics, Distortion, Feedback Generator and all mixing abilities, in addition of a twist of pre- and post-processing (distortion input, high shelf output and more). Its killer features are:

• Band distortion: a heap of modern sounding stereo distortions that can feedback.
• Band dynamic: alien compressor or expander, synchronized noise gate and more.
• Multi-band stereo: Phase corrected multi-band stereo effect + optionally process in mid/side mode for more stereo field tweak-ability.
• Melohman feature: midi controlled preset morphing or randomization. Remixers' new absolute must.
• Great on guitar, bass, synth, drums and any living creature in general.

You'll be able to listen to the Ohmicide:Melohman distortions on the albums of artists such as Chemical Brothers, Prodigy, Björk, David Bowie, Napalm Death, The Killers, and many others, take a look at our hall of fame. And maybe watching - and listening - how it works could be even better, check out these Ohmicide:Melohman video tutorials made by some Ohmicide fans.

It brings new compressor/expander algorithms, a sharp noise gate and - holly cow! - brand new and original distortion models: these are at the core of Ohmicide:Melohman. They're designed to offer pretty much everything you can think of next to a lot of things you can't think of. Some, like the tasty "Porridge" distortion sounds deliciously analog, while the "Fractal" one is harsh and digital as hell. Or you've got the very dense "Accumulator" that can add low harmonics instead of high.

All those distortions are mainly new breeds - yet the classics are also covered. Each one is declined in three variations: normal, ampsim (amp emulation) and odd. The "Odd" one is terribly exciting as it gives you control on the harmonics frequency and allows for slightly detuned distortion. Last but not least, we've added a disto type that can be very useful sometimes..... "No distortion". It's actually an absolute need, considering how many things can be done just by using the multi-band dynamics and/or the filter!

Indeed the filter that allows the band separation is matched with a recombining filter that correct the phase shifts it induced. This improves greatly the transients preservation as well as the filter sound. Add to this an interesting dynamics processing and you'll end up using it everywhere. We've warned you! Predatohm addicts will be happy to know that not only does Ohmicide:Melohman include a feedback generator on each band, but that it can be spread in stereo. Combined with all the different disto and Melohman features it's a huge larsen soundscape waiting to spice up your tracks.

The Melohman feature!

Already known to Symptohm:Melohman and Minimonsta:Melohman users, Melohman is a set of features dedicated to live action. It allows you to morph between presets or randomize the sound in an intuitive, organic way. Just plug a Midi keyboard on your computer and play notes to go from one sound to another at a velocity sensitive speed. For the first time it is included on an effect, and it shows very exciting results for anything that involve live mix/remix as well as very efficient in a production situation. Also used in a midi pattern logic it's a very powerful tool for every loop manglers.
