On top of that, the controls can be modulated using midi sources or by one of the 4 build in LFO's that can sync to your host tempo.The distortion unit offers 22 distortion types included ring modulator and lo-fi. Inside this section you can also find the EQ and noise-gate.
RP-Distort is in fact a wicked FX unit that will distort or alter your tracks in an inspirational way.
