Description

  • New input/output compression meter mode
  • New factory presets from pro engineers
  • High resolution graphics and retina support

PSP Saturator emulates the way that analog devices such as tape recorders and valve circuits warm up and -saturate- your audio material. This is achieved by adding harmonics, dedicated filtering, and dynamic processing. PSP Saturator uses three algorithms to emulate these devices, and offers eight different shape modes for loads of flexibility from subtle 'mix mojo' to outright audio destruction.

Features:

  • 8 different saturation shapes for a variety of tonal flavors.
  • Three signal sculpting engines (low, high, overall saturation).
  • Adjustable Low and High band processing engines for adequate, band related warming effects.
  • Parallel mix option, with internal intelligent phase alignment.
  • Multiple metering modes for signal analysis.
  • Additional control panel for fine-tuning of various saturation parameters and smoothing.
  • Three output modes (off, sat, lim) for shaping the final output stage.
  • Input and Output gain controls, with optional relative link.
  • Optional "FAT" quad-sampling for pristine saturation quality.
  • Very low internal latency of 6 samples.
  • 200 presets designed by top engineers and producers.

    Multiple distortion models for analog saturation

    Load it on vocals or a drum bus. Dial in around 30% intensity. Enjoy effortless analog vibe.

    The unit is designed to emulate a complete analog circuit that introduce saturation along the signal path, from tape saturation to tube saturation, diode saturation, and soft clipping saturation. This means at high levels, the saturation can become unpleasant distortion (unless that’s your goal). The unit has separate controls for low and high frequency saturation. The low frequency unit (on the left) introduces filtered harmonics to emphasize bass, while the high frequency unit (on the right) introduces tape compression to roll off the highs while adding some grit with soft clipping. In the middle are the mode selector (“Shape”) and the intensity (“Saturation”) *****. You can choose between three different tube style saturation models (soft, medium, hard/overdriven), two tape models (warm/vintage, modern), a novel “Ram horn” shape saturation curve, soft clipping, and hard clipping. At the bottom are the usual input, output, and mix controls, as well as convenience controls like gains link, bypass, and built-in soft-knee limiter (0 dBfs). There are additional controls for the tweakers out there.

    Overall, a very accessible plugin and quick workflow for adding analog saturation to your DAW project. I got this on sale for $25. It sounds great. Easier to use than other dual band saturation plugins.

    Beautiful top and bottom end

    Haven't found anything else that sounds quite like this with the soft top end and the thick lows
