Pre/Post-Filter Distortion Sections

The Dark Planet VST Sound Instrument Set contains two distortion effects. The first

effect is placed before the morphing filter and the second effect behind the filter. This

allows you to add distortion to the unfiltered sound, as well as to distort the filtered

signal. You can also use both effects at the same time, for example, to reduce the bit

depth with the pre-filter distortion effect while adding overtones using the post-filter

distortion effect. For both effects, the same set of parameters is available.
