From the same stable as the VintageWarmer2, InfiniStrip and 2445 EMT, Polish company PSP Audioware has announced the PSP Saturator plug-in.
PSP Saturator emulates the way that analogue devices such as tape recorders and valve circuits ‘saturate’ 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 flexibility spanning subtle ‘mix mojo’ to audio destruction.
The plug-in is supported by a library of presets from engineers and producers including Michael Brauer, Jason LaRocca, Ronan Chris Murphy, Jurij Ricotti and John Kurzweg.
Key features:
- Adjustable Low/High band processing engines.
- Optional ‘Fat’ quad-sampling.
- Internal latency of six samples.
- Multiple metering modes.
- Parallel mix option with intelligent phase alignment.
- Additional control panel for fine-tuning of parameters and smoothing.
- Three output modes (off, sat, lim) for shaping the output stage.
- Input and Output gain controls, with optional relative link.
- 200 presets designed by top engineers and producers.
With the release of PSP Saturator, the company’s PSP MixSaturator will be considered a legacy product with no further support as it has been replaced and redesigned with its legacy living on in this new release.
