Distortion synthesis is a sound synthesis technique that generates audio by applying distortion effects to a signal. It achieves a rich, complex sound by intentionally altering the harmonic structure of an audio waveform through various distortion processes. Distortion synthesis can produce a wide range of tones, from subtle warmth to aggressive, gritty textures, making it popular in genres like rock, electronic, and experimental music.
