I was wondering if there is a way to add distortion to a certain Band of frequencies while keeping the sub frequencies pure. not sure if there is a way to do this already but I think it would be a great addition to Sublab if this became possible.

Hey @NEO,

First thanks for joining the forum!

On your question, you can totally keep the sub frequencies pure. The X-Sub oscillator doesn’t pass through any fx and goes straight to output, thus by passing the distortions.

For the sampler and the synth engine, you have dry/wet mix into the distortion and compressor and also a high/low filter. That way you can send some of the pure sub frequencies in, distort them and then then filter out what you want.

We have some how to videos on instagram if you want to check them out here:
