Osmium Distortion Matrix is a creative distortion effect from Reason Studios that pairs multiband processing with a modular routing core. Its matrix of nine freely routable effect slots lets you build series, parallel, or feedback chains in seconds, using four distortion modules — Saturation, Overdrive, Wavefolder, and Bitcrush — plus dynamics, filters, EQ, and creative effects. Split your signal into up to three frequency bands to distort bass while keeping the low-end intact, or add different treatments to different bands. An expansive modulation matrix with two LFOs, a curve sequencer, an envelope follower, and CV control keeps everything moving. External effect loops let you patch other Reason Rack devices directly into the signal chain. With 200+ expertly crafted patches covering distortion, bitcrushing, speaker simulation, and destruction, Osmium suits producers who want precise, playful sound design — from subtle tape saturation to speaker-melting noise.
