Saturate is a straightforward saturation plugin designed to enhance audio by applying a pure saturation effect. Rather than emulating the characteristics of specific hardware, it processes the waveform directly, introducing saturation in its most fundamental form. This approach allows for a clean and effective way to add warmth and harmonic richness to your sound.

The plugin works by cutting the waveform once it exceeds a set threshold, shaping the audio signal and creating the desired saturation effect. To maintain consistent output levels, Saturate automatically adjusts the gain after processing. Additionally, it employs a fourfold oversampling technique to ensure high-quality results without introducing unwanted artifacts, preserving the integrity of the original sound.

A recent update introduced an output level control, giving users more flexibility to fine-tune their sound. This simple yet effective tool is ideal for producers and engineers seeking to add character and presence to their mixes without complicated settings or emulations. Its clean interface and reliable performance make it a valuable addition to any audio production setup.
