Dual-circuit distortion
RAUSI is the harder-hit side of the Yukar Series. Where ORORON aims for clarity and open movement, RAUSI pushes into a more forceful voice with stronger midrange insistence, faster attack feel, and a denser sense of impact.
It is built to cover two different kinds of heavy behavior inside one plug-in: one side leans toward an abrasive, wall-like saturation, while the other opens up more EQ-directed shaping for riffs that need clearer focus and placement.
Control map
| Control | Role |
|---|---|
| Input | Sets the level hitting the distortion stages |
| Drive | Changes the saturation depth and aggression of the modeled gain structure |
| Output | Adjusts the final output level after tone shaping |
| Low | Shapes low-end weight and body |
| Mid | Sets the amount of midrange emphasis or cut |
| High | Shapes top-end bite and edge |
| Mid Freq | Moves the center frequency of the midrange focus |
| 9V / 18V | Changes headroom and saturation behavior |
| INST / LINE | Adapts the front end for instrument or line-level sources |
| FLOE / CRAG | Switches between the two distortion personalities |
| x2 / x4 | Selects oversampling depth for the nonlinear stages |
Suggested starting points
- Focused heavy riff: Use CRAG with stronger mids and moderate high-end lift for articulate modern gain.
- Scooped aggression: Pull the mids back, push low and high, and let the mode carry the weight for larger metal rhythm tones.
- Wall texture: Use FLOE with hotter drive for dense, abrasive saturation on guitars, bass, or parallel synth distortion.
- Low-tuned control: Run INST mode with x4 oversampling to keep heavier low registers tighter and less splashy.

Why RAUSI stands out
Two distinct high-gain circuit personalities live inside one plug-in, with FLOE / CRAG mode switching at the center.
Active low, mid, and high shaping gives RAUSI more surgical control than a fixed one-voice distortion.
9V / 18V supply behavior changes how the saturation grips, compresses, and releases.
x2 / x4 oversampling helps the clipping stages stay dense without turning brittle at higher drive settings.
Two heavy voices, one front panel
RAUSI is built around two contrasting high-gain personalities: one pushes toward a dense wall-like grind, while the other offers a tighter, more controllable voice with deeper EQ authority. The result is a distortion that can move from blunt-force texture to more deliberate riff sculpting without leaving the same product frame.
Stronger edge, tighter shove
RAUSI takes the Yukar Series into a denser, more assertive distortion voice. It aims for a sound that stays immediate at the pick and heavy in the body, without losing the shape of the original phrase.
Where the name comes from
RAUSI takes its image from Mount Rausu in the Shiretoko World Heritage region and from the sharp, frozen drift ice of the Okhotsk coast. The plug-in turns those two contrasting surfaces into sound: CRAG is shaped after the monumental rocky face of Rausu-dake, while FLOE draws from the colder, harder edge of drifting sea ice.
Yukar Series
RAUSI sits inside the Yukar Series alongside REPUN, ON'NENIKUR, and ORORON. Each plug-in starts from a different musical image, but they share direct controls, strong character, and production-ready focus.
RAUSI
Dual-circuit distortion
The heavier drive branch: dense impact, active tone shaping, and switchable supply behavior for harder-edged parts.
REPUN
Chorus / tremolo motion
The movement branch: chorus, vibrato, tremolo-like motion, and analog-style instability for animated parts.
ON'NENIKUR
Dream octave reverb
The atmosphere branch: frozen tails, reverb walls, suspended ambience, and texture-first spatial design.
