The Mix knob, meanwhile, enables parallel processing.įurther sound shaping is on hand in the shape of the Dynamics knob, a feedback loop with a ringing frequency range of 10-1000Hz (for emulating mic/speaker feedback), and a four-band amp-style 'tone' EQ. There's also a mid/side conversion mode, in which, rather than L/R panning, the Drive and Level pan controls set the balance between the mid and side signals for each of those two stages. The Drive knob sets the level of the input signal into the algorithm (and changes the colour of the display background) and can be panned, for stereo effects. Destroy mode, for example, wantonly combines bitcrushing, sample rate reduction and soft clipping and Smudge does all manner of weird temporal stuff. So, what can you actually do to each of those bands? Saturn offers 16 saturation, distortion and clipping Styles, taking in tube, tape and amp algorithms, as well as a trio of extreme 'creative' distortions.Įach band can be set to its own Style, and everything from gentle tape-like warming to total decimation is catered for with the regular options, while the three mad ones push things over the limit (pun half intended). Up to six bands can be activated, and for extra editing wiggle room, the GUI has a Wide setting, about 30 per cent wider than the Normal one. The frequency range on either side of the line becomes a separately controlled band, the volume of which is set by raising or lowering the handle that appears in the middle (or via the Level knob).Ĭlick a band to select it for editing with the main controls, all of which operate on a per-band basis, including distortion Style drag to select contiguous bands hold Ctrl/Cmd to select non-contiguous bands etc. The crossover appears as a vertical line, which can be dragged left and right to the desired frequency. "The quality of the algorithms is palpable: the amps, tubes and tape types feel suitably 'real' but more sonically interesting than most, and the movement and 'funk' that can be imposed on them is nothing short of dazzling.To add a multiband crossover (with a fixed 24dB/octave slope), click the '+' button that appears when the mouse pointer approaches the top of the display. Whether you’re looking for a subtle push in the mix or all out audio destruction, Saturn has you covered. There’s not one single type of instrument that can't benefit in some way by having some Saturn on it. "I've found a plugin I can’t live without.

28 different distortion styles, from subtle tube saturation to heavy guitar amps and bit crushing Saturn 2 will appear in the list of Audio Unit extensions for effect plug-ins in the host app. To use Saturn 2 as a plug-in, you need an AUv3-compatible host app like Auria, AUM or Cubasis. The Saturn 2 app filters the microphone input and plays it back in real-time.
