Dear Reality MIYA Wavelet Distortion Audio Plug-In

Dear Reality MIYA Overview

Make your sounds punch through your mixes with MIYA from Dear Reality, a harmonic distortion plug-in that allows you to sculpt your sounds like a synthesizer. With adjustable harmonics and resynthesis of audio signals, you can give sounds more texture or add glitched-out distortion, all without adding gain.

This plug-in is available in AAX, AU, and VST3 formats for macOS and Windows computers.

Graphic Visualizer: What You See Is What You Get

MIYA provides immediate visual feedback over your sound using four different colors. The orange vertical line indicates the detected zero crossings, while the grey line shows the original incoming signal. The blue line plots the generated signal, and the green line visualizes the output from the plug-in, which consists of a mix of wet and dry signals.

Audio Analyzer: Zero-Crossing Detection

Adjust Skip and the Minimum Length of the wavelets and skip zero crossings. The longer the wavelet, the lower the synthesized tone. Use Minimum Length to create unique resonances by discarding the detected zero crossings based on the set time in microseconds.

Harmonics: Resynthesize Your Sounds

Use the sliders to precisely set the harmonics and subharmonics within an additively synthesized signal that lets your sounds stand out. MIYA offers you a variety of harmonics ranging from the 1st up to 5th harmonic. Adjust the length of the wavelet in time with Duty Cycle.

Dynamics and Filter: Make It Fit Your Mix

Use MIYA's internal gate to eliminate quieter sounds (e.g., background noise) or emphasize the original signal's rhythmic aspects. Furthermore, MIYA enables you to boost the signal generated by the additive synthesizer based on the amplitude of the initially detected wavelet using the Boost parameter. Use the low- and high-pass filters to adjust the frequency range of the generated signal.

Output: Bring It All Together

MIYA lets you adjust the dry and wet signal ratio to blend the input signal with your newly generated signal. Using the output level, you can adjust the overall level of your output signal.
