Black Diamond Probe pairs with Black Diamond Distortion. While Black Diamond Distortion lets you build and edit transfer curves—Probe extracts those curves from real hardware or plugins.
Run audio through any nonlinear device—a tube preamp, tape machine, or overdrive pedal—and Probe will extract the transfer function that defines its distortion character. Export the curve as a
.tfuncfile, then load it into Black Diamond Distortion to reuse it, refine it, or push it further.

Virtual MIDI Piano Keyboard
Virtual MIDI Piano Keyboard is a MIDI events generator and receiver. It doesn’t produce any sound by itself, but can be used to drive a MIDI synthesizer (either hardware or software, internal or external).
