What is a wavefolding distortion?
Wavefolding is a type of distortion where the input amplitude peaks get
inverted into a series of folds when they exceeds a threshold. This type of
distortion is well suited to use on synthesizer sounds and other simple
sounds.

Oru can be used on a stereo or mono track as an insert effect or as
send/return effect.

Bias
This shifts the center point of the input signal to change the color of the
distortion. You get a positive bias at right and a negative one at left. Using
this you can apply more distortion to the positive part of the signal than the
negative and vice versa. A small changes can dramatically alter the sound
so use it with caution.
Post Gain
Control the distortion output gain of the wet signal from 30dB to 8dB
before the mixing stage.
Mix
