X-TORSION

Diatonic Distortion Unit



$8+
plus applicable taxes
BUY NOW

Expanding the definition of digital destruction, X-Torsion is designed by Ableton Certified Trainer Noah Pred to produce a wide range of distortion textures, from subtle overdrive to crunchy decimation. Powerful, raw, and aggressive, it offers a range of sharp, biting, crispy, and fuzzy qualities that can cut through even the densest mix – with the optional bit rate control constrainable to scale and key. X-Torsion is designed to add grit and punch to any sound, whether it's a nasty bass line or punishing drums. You can also add subtle stochastic texture to any sound — and apply distortion only to peaks above threshold. With its in-line filtration, you can always tame the raw power and aggression it adds to any sound, perfect for adding a touch of attitude and edge to any output. X-Torsion is optimized for Push with full Info View annotations for further details; just hover the mouse over any parameter to view detailed information on all controls in Live’s Info View.

Already comes included in: X-FX, Max Audio Bundle, Ultra Bundle.




CREATIVE PUNCTUATION: The input threshold control on all X-FX allows you to apply effects only to signal above (or, optionally, below) a specified amplitude. Only want to delay, reverberate, or tame signal above certain peaks? This is the parameter to explore. Switch to crossover mode to only apply effects when signal is above (or, optionally, below) a specified frequency. Ultimate flexibility for enhanced creativity.

HARMONIC COHERENCE: All X-FX can be constrained to one of 69 scales in any key. By default, this will be set by Live 12's scale and key, or with Live 11 and older, an instance of the included Global Hub utility - but can also be pinned locally on a per-device basis, allowing you to explore diatonic musical expressions of previously chromatic effects.

INNOVATIVE INTERPOLATION: In addition to standard dry/wet balance, the unique interpolate mode works in tandem with the input threshold to only trigger the current wet effect amount when signal exceeds the specified threshold or crossover, resulting in truly dynamic processing.
MIDI PLAYABLE: First, place the included X-Relay utility on any MIDI source track, switch it to Relay mode, and select a conduit. Then set your target X-FX to Relay mode and set it to receive on the same conduit. Voila! Now you can play your effect via MIDI, within the selected scale and key, and with optional transposition. Better yet, you can flip the incoming Relay signal to invert the notes on the keyboard for instant counterpoint. Or, set a delay on the source X-Relay instance to induce call and response. The possibilities are truly endless.

FLEXIBLE GAIN-STAGING: Every device has input and output gain controls with a wide range to boost or attenuate as needed to keep your signal at optimal levels regardless of effect processing.

SYSTEMIC INTEGRATION: As described above, X-FX fits neatly with our Global Hub and X-Relay utilities as well as Live 12's scale awareness, creating an integrated musical ecosystem that expands the possible to new realms.
OUTPUT LIMITING: All X-FX have built-in output limiting enabled by default so you can experiment with extreme feedback and other settings without concern for damage.

FULLY BUNDLED: X-FX are designed to integrate with Mod Squad, our custom collection of advanced modulation devices — LFOs, Envelopes, Trackers, Randomizers all come included with the bundled Mod Squad Free, and over 70 presets demonstrate how they work together, hand to glove. Better yet, it also comes bundled with Utility Boost: a set of five workflow-enhancing devices that help coordinate the scale and key of X-FX, flexibly route MIDI into X-FX, and much more.

INFO VIEW ANNOTATED: Learn all you need to know directly in Live - just open the Info View and hover your mouse over any parameter.

PUSH OPTIMIZED: All parameters aside from the wave draw zone are ready and available in Push.

THEME ADAPTIVE: Device colors automatically adapt to your preferred Live theme.
