What Cobalt Saphira does
The plugin lets the user choose the frequencies at which harmonics are synthesized, so the added overtones can be placed rather than applied across the whole spectrum. The engine is described by the developer as modeled tape processing that adds depth and liveliness.
Key features
- Harmonic frequency selection. Harmonics are synthesized at frequencies the user selects, which allows enhancement of specific parts of a track without affecting the rest of the signal.
- Tape-style depth. The developer describes modeled tape processing as a source of added depth and liveliness in the harmonic stage.
- Preset library. Over 50 presets are included for master buses, groups and instruments, including drums.
