Inear Display Cruelle €23

An audio-rate oscillator modulates the properties of an analogue-style filter, after which a distortion module offers particularly extreme drive, shape and feedback controls. This is a distortion where you don’t quite know what’s going to happen, with certain settings dependent on the audio input… in a good way. Cruelle takes everything to a higher level, often providing a bed of feedback through which your original sound may or may not emerge. Again, it’s highly instrument-dependent, so less immediate to use, but contains a lot of sound-smashing character. Some more controls would have been nice for more diversity, but then for€23 Euros, who’s complaining? ineardisplay.com
