Diopser

You were expecting Disperser¹, but it was me, Diopser!

Diopser lets you rotate the phase of a signal around a specific frequency without affecting its spectral content. This effect can be used to emphasize transients and other parts of a sound that in a way that isn't possible with regular equalizers or dynamics processors, especially when applied to low pitched or wide band sounds. More extreme settings will make everything sound like a cartoon laser beam, or a psytrance kickdrum.

Because this plugin lets you crank every parameter up to 11, you may want to avoid rapidly sweeping the frequency parameter down all the way to 5 Hertz when you have many filter stages enabled. Because of the way these filters work, this may cause comparatively loud resonances in the 0-15 Hertz range. In that case you may want to use a peak limiter after this plugin until you understand how it reacts to different changes, or maybe you'll want to check out Safety Limiter, which is made for this exact purpose.

This is a port from https://github.com/robbert-vdh/diopser with more features and much better performance.

Download

You can download the development binaries for Linux, Windows and macOS from the automated builds page. Or if you're not signed in on GitHub, then you can also find the latest nightly build here.

The macOS version has not been tested and may not work correctly. You may also have to disable Gatekeeper to use the VST3 version as Apple has recently made it more difficult to run unsigned code on macOS.

Building

After installing Rust with the nightly toolchain (because of the use of SIMD), you can compile Diopser as follows:

cargo +nightly xtask bundle diopser --release
