Summary

Destroytion is a native JUCE stereo distortion plugin focused on animated destruction, rhythmic motion, and aggressive but playable timbral control. The prototype is already running as a real VST3 with custom DSP and a purpose-built editor, not just a concept patch.

Snapshot

  • Status: prototype in active iteration
  • Format: native JUCE stereo VST3 effect
  • Stack: JUCE and C++
  • Focus: animated destruction with rhythmic motion and a strong musical middle

What It Is

  • HEAT
  • EDGE
  • FRACTURE
  • FLUX
  • FOCUS
  • BLEND

Those six strips define the main sound-shaping identity of the plugin. The project is built around tempo-synced random modulation, custom per-channel DSP, and a performance-oriented editor rather than a generic distortion layout.

Current Direction

  • Preserve a musical mid-range before extreme breakup
  • Improve voicing at high settings
  • Continue UI clarity and real-time playability improvements
