For most of the instruments in OS, distortion can be difficult to work with. Most of the distortion presets may sound interesting with single notes, but will cause chords or intervals to sound unrecognizable, or even result in static. If you want to distort an instrument, you may have to use only 1 note at a time, which only allows you to carry a melody, or arpeggiate chords. If only simple chords and consonant intervals are used, such as power chords, major chords, or an octave, the result can sound clear. In combination with reverb, distortion on some instruments will produce desirable sounds. Some notable ones are listed below.

* Flute with Styx at 50% and Nova at 50% can sound like a violin that sustains (this trick was often used before the addition of sustain violin)
