What PSP Saturator does
The plugin reproduces the way analog devices colour a signal, using three algorithms that add harmonics, apply dedicated filtering and run dynamic processing. Three engines handle low, high and overall saturation, and an adjustable Low and High band processing section applies warming to each band. A parallel mix control and internal phase alignment are included, with three output modes (off, sat and lim) that shape the final output stage.
Key features
- Eight saturation shapes. Eight different saturation shapes give a range of tonal flavours, selected to match the source material.
- Low, high and overall engines. Three signal sculpting engines handle low, high and overall saturation, so each part of the spectrum can be driven separately.
- Band processing and warming. The adjustable Low and High band processing section applies band-related warming effects.
- Parallel mix and phase alignment. A parallel mix option is paired with internal intelligent phase alignment.
- Output modes and metering. Three output modes (off, sat and lim) shape the final output stage, and multiple metering modes show signal analysis.
Compatibility
The plugin comes as VST3, VST2, AU and AAX for Windows and macOS, with native Apple Silicon support listed.
