Overview

Name | Version: SUBMERGE 1.0
Author: DiffDevices
Device Type: Audio Effect
Description: DIFF Devices – Submerge
Submerge is a low-frequency enhancement and control device designed to add weight, clarity, and harmonic presence to bass material while maintaining phase accuracy, mono compatibility, and mix translation.
Submerge is built around a musical harmonic generation engine combined with precise crossover filtering and mono-sub management. Instead of simply boosting low frequencies, it reinforces bass perception through controlled harmonics, allowing low-end content to remain audible and defined across all playback systems.
The device provides an efficient and intuitive workflow, combining real-time audio processing with detailed visual feedback. By aligning what you hear with what you see, Submerge helps you make confident low-end decisions even in environments where monitoring conditions are less than ideal.
Using both audio and visual analysis, Submerge gives you the technical feedback needed to shape bass accurately, ensuring that every adjustment is deliberate, controlled, and musically relevant.




FEATURES
• Musical Bass Enhancement
Enhances perceived low-end energy using controlled harmonic generation instead of excessive sub boosting.
• Dynamic Harmonic Engine
Envelope-driven distortion reacts to the input signal’s dynamics, preserving groove, punch, and musical movement.
• Frequency-Selective Harmonics
Adjustable crossover frequency defines exactly where harmonics are generated.
• Phase-Coherent Filtering
Linkwitz-Riley 24 dB/oct crossover filters ensure clean band separation and perfect phase summing.
• True Dry / Wet Architecture
Dry signal remains intact while harmonics are blended transparently without phase or balance shifts.
• Clickless Parameter Smoothing
All continuous parameters, routing changes, solo/mute states, and blends are fully smoothed to avoid clicks and artifacts.
• Dedicated Mono-Sub Control
Collapse low frequencies to mono below a selectable frequency for improved translation on club systems, vinyl, and mono playback.
• Adjustable Mono Amount
Control how much of the low band is summed to mono, from subtle tightening to full mono compatibility.
• Real-Time Spectrum Analyzer
Visualize pre, post, harmonic, low, and high frequency content simultaneously.
• Multiple Spectrum Display Modes
Line, bar, or hybrid spectrum views with adjustable smoothing and decay.
• Musical Note & Piano Reference
Crossover frequency is labeled with the nearest musical note, including a full piano reference spanning the entire spectrum.
• Interactive Frequency Handles
Independent or linked control of crossover and mono frequencies for fast, precise adjustments.
• Optimized Performance
Adjustable FFT size and refresh rate for flexible CPU usage in large sessions.

INSTALLATION & USAGE GUIDE
Inside the zip file you will find:
1 DIFF Devices – Submerge.amxd
Installation Steps:
1 Save the .amxd file anywhere on your computer or inside a folder where you keep your Max for Live devices.
2 Drag and drop DIFF Devices – Submerge into a track in Ableton Live (recommended on bass tracks, groups, or the master bus depending on use).
3 Click Save (floppy disk icon on the right side of the device window).
4 This will automatically save the device to your User Library and create an .adv file for storing your preferred default settings.
5 Load Submerge from the User Library whenever needed.
Tip:
For mono-sub control and final low-end shaping, Submerge works best placed after EQ and compression but before final limiting.




SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
• macOS & Windows
• Works exclusively in Ableton Live with Max for Live
• Requires Ableton Live 11 or later
• Apple Silicon (M1 / M2) compatible
