Fruity WaveShaper is a wave distortion effect that uses flexible spline-based graph editing to map input to output values for creative and surgical sound shaping. It offers both unipolar and bipolar modes for symmetric or independent shaping of positive and negative waveforms, with comprehensive controls over pre/post gain, mix balance, and oversampling to prevent aliasing.
