Saturation VST Plugins

Smokin’ Saturation

With millions of Spotify plays under his belt, Thai-born producer 22Bullets is a dance music legend in the making. His high profile list of collaborators includes Fedde Le Grand, Timmy Trumpet, Kura and Vinai. We are proud to collaborate with him on a plugin that really shoots from the hip.

Presenting HEAT. With a unique look, this bone-crunching plugin brings out the big guns. Load the revolver barrel with two of your favourite distortion and saturation models, and blend them together with a spin of the chamber. We support gun control (in this case anyway), so HEAT is far more than a mindless fuzz box. You can shape the two signals with high and low pass filters, resulting in a more musical output than many other types of distortion plugins. Feel the HEAT of sweet saturation and intense amped-up overdrive as you tweak the parameters to your personal taste.

Of course, we’ve also included loads of factory presets to kickstart your distortion discoveries, from extreme settings for smashing your audio, to more tempered values for vocals, bass and drums. Use these presets as jumping-off points and then adjust the drive, blend, filters and other parameters to create a sound that’ll blow the competition away.

Bonus Sample Pack from 22Bullets

As an additional treat, with every purchase of HEAT you’ll also get a 2GB pack of samples, stems, MIDI and synth presets. Everything you need to recreate the signature sound from 22Bullets, from slamming bass lines to mutated FX, fat synths to pounding drums. Drop these files into your DAW to discover exactly how this top-tier producer constructs his own tracks.

Blend 10 Devastating Distortion Types

The whole concept of HEAT is to apply twin distortion and then shape the signals so that your audio is powerful, yet retains musicality. The starting point for this are the 10 different types of modelled distortion. These 10 models can be loaded into the two chambers, each with adjustable drive levels. With a wide range of different distortion types, from Browning to Bazooka, you can easily craft everything from subtle saturation and harmonics to blow-the-doors-off distortion. Each of these 10 types of processing will produce a different character and timbre, so experiment by blending between them with a flick of the bullet chamber.

Twin Filters

These two filter controls allow you to shape your distortion far more musically than stock plugins. Separately adjust the High and Low frequency cut off parameters for the two different distortion chambers. For example, you might only want to crush the mid-range of a synth part, giving it more crunch and power. Or maybe just distort the lowest frequencies of a fat kick drum. Combine two different types of distortion with two different filter shapes and get your audio production-ready with the precision of surgical saturation.

Input, Output & Mix Ratio

Use the Input and Output sliders to compensate for any gain boost or reduction caused by the distortion chambers with up to +/- 48dB attenuation. This allows for very accurate comparisons when A/Bing. Use the Mix ratio control at the centre of the interface to dial in as much (or as little) of the distortion types as you need. Apply a conservative ratio for subtle saturation and sweetening or push the control further to hear the 100% destroyed signal.

Visual Feedback

The live visual meters around the perimeter of the interface show exactly what’s happening to the signal as it’s being processed in real time. This allows for accurate monitoring each time you decide to make a change to the distortion type or level. The output of the right-hand chambers is shown as a bouncing orange waveform, the output of the left-hand chamber shown in yellow. This makes it easy to tell the difference between the two types of distortion that you’re applying to the signal and exactly which parts of the signal the filters are targeting.

Presets

With many included presets, it’s easy to lock-and-load starting points to create your own distortion drama. Tailored to specific instruments, genres and effects, these factory options can be used on many types of audio. The presets include everything from delicate distortion to all out smashed saturation.

Retro tape warmth: Tape MELLO-FI isn’t just a one-trick lo-fi pony. Use its vintage preamp, built-in low-pass & high-pass filters, and subtle tape noise to breathe old-school life and magic studio mojo into your projects.

Reel Enhancements: This vintage-flavor plugin has been tailored to modern producers’ needs. From gritty distortion, to instant-response tape behavior, to the super-satisfying stereo widener, this tape machine is right up to speed.

More than an authentic tape plugin

Tape used to be the default way to record audio, degrading with every playback in a way that’s become synonymous with its sound.

Now producers, beat-makers, and sound designers actively search for that crunchy, noisy, imperfect sound to give their production character and attitude. With Tape MELLO-FI, that search is over.

Inspired by iconic tape-based instruments that truly pioneered ‘that’ sound, this plugin is expertly-engineered to not just sound like tape; it behaves like tape too. From the uncanny wows and flutters, to a tape wheel that you can actually click on and interact with, Tape MELLO-FI gives you the bold, unmistakably aged character of a worn out magnetic tape right in your DAW.

Features

• Authentic tape emulator & lo-fi effect based on Mellotron V’s vintage sound & behavior
• Includes classic tape controls like Noise, Flutter, Wow, Wear, and Mechanics
• Introduces useful features like Distortion and Boost
• Interactive tape wheel with tempo-synchronized Tape Stop feature and optional Instant Tape Catch-up
• 12dB low-pass and high-pass filter section
• Enhanced Stereo Width feature introduces offsets to Wow & Flutter from left to right for an extra-wide sound
• Curated 25-preset library for instant-access to retro & lo-fi effects
• Apple M1 compatible

The digital world with its clarity and accuracy lacks some vibe from the old times. This is why English producer and remixer Greg Brimson, also United Plugins powered artist, approached us with his idea for a dream plugin.

‘Create a front door for every recording, and call it Front DAW, guys,’ said he, ‘so that every track would have a true analogue input.’

Thanks to him you can turn your DAW Mixer into a real Analogue Console.

Every Track Different with VARM

It‘s not just Greg who needs to take advantage of our Variable Analogue Random Modeling technology. VARM is technology based on knowledge of chaotic behaviour and randomness of the analogue world. Thanks to VARM, each plugin instance acts slightly different. 

VARM models randomness of the subtle differences of the values of the electrical parts – exactly as in the real electrical units and the real console channels.

Three Types of Saturation

BR/US/GE buttons represent three types of analogue circuits you may choose from. BR represents classic fat British consoles, US stands for legendary punchy American style input. Switching to GE will give you velvet sounding colourful vintage German tube console.

The Mojo

Turning the Mojo knob lets you decide the amount of saturation your tracks get. The effect is rather subtle and gentle because Front DAW is intended to be used on many tracks simultaneously.

You don‘t want your mix to be dirty, do you?

Saturate Every Track

Thanks to advanced modeling technology we use Front DAW is very CPU-friendly. It is designed to be used on every single track of your mix (if desired).

SubBass Doctor 808

Treating the lowest frequencies is not an easy task. And in some listening environments, it is almost impossible. If you mix while travelling or your mixing room or your system is not 110% perfect, you should see the doctor. Namely SubBass Doctor 808.

KEY FEATURES

Your subs can be harmful

We all want the pumping subs that shake the body. But without the right treatment, they can get out of control. Although they are inaudible in some environments, wrongly mixed low frequencies can even destroy big PA systems.

Who needs the Doctor 808

You may want to mix while travelling, you may be producing a home studio. Your monitors do not deliver the lowest frequencies right or your room is perhaps not 100% acoustically treated. In all these cases you should search for the Doctor.

Get your cure

SubBass Doctor 808 is a safety net for all mentioned above. It filters the harmful frequencies and guards the lowest basses not to exceed the healthy limit.

Extra sub

As SubBass Doctor 808 steals something from the low end, it compensates the loss in healthy sub frequencies ensuring you don’t lose even a little bit of the sub-bass power.

Saturate

To accentuate the low frequencies and to add extra warmth SubBass Doctor 808 adds pleasant parallel saturation. This helps the sub-bass to set off and astonish the audience.

808, 5-string and double bass

As the name suggests SubBass Doctor 808 is mainly designed for synth bass and drums. But it is essential when mixing other instruments that reach really low – such as low-B five-string bass or double bass.

Hassle-free software protection

No iLok, no dongle nor internet access is required for activation. Our software uses licence files to activate your software. You can freely use the purchased software on all your computers as long as you are the user.

64-bit audio quality at ANY sampling rate

The plugin provides the maximum audio quality you can get. It uses internal 64-bit audio processing and can handle any sampling rate. 192 kHz or even higher.

Smart bypass

The intelligent way our plugins manage bypassing ensures that you don’t get any click or harmful noises when automating the parameter.

MPolySaturator is a unique spectral saturation plugin, which generates harmonics for every single frequency in your signal, making the results sound richer. But unlike classic saturation, it does not suffer from the dirtiness when processing complex signals.

Distortion Revisited

We all know saturation produces higher harmonics, and that is pretty much the only “sort of advantage” of analog equipment – saturation everywhere. But there’s a catch – saturating a simple sine wave works fine, saturating anything more complex is not… Yes, you get all the desired harmonics that make the signal richer, but you also get completely disharmonic nonsense. And that’s the point behind MPolySaturator. It lets you create the actual harmonics, but doesn’t produce all that dirt you generally don’t want.

Modulating Harmonics?

How about changing the levels of the harmonics? After all, static sounds are generally boring. No problem! Just assign a modulator to a few harmonics and you can follow the input level, randomly change them and much more…

Presenting “Punchy Worm”, the only one-knob punch powerhouse featuring a dancing worm!

This little dude can keep your beats bouncing and synths saturated as long as you keep feeding him audio apples. He’ll head-bang along with your track whilst shaping transients and adding harmonics. Why did we add a wobbly worm to our latest plugin?… We can’t really answer that with a straight face, but in these serious times, why not?!

Easy Controls

With just a couple of simple controls, Punchy Worm keeps you concentrated on the most important thing about your music… the sound. Simply drag the dials to operate and double click to reset them to default. Trust your ears to tell you what sounds good and let the dancing worm take the strain.

Punch & Saturation

Depending on if you set the main dial to the left or right of centre, you’ll hear punch or saturation, combined with smooth and responsive upward and downward compression. With more subtle settings you’ll hear more presence and power. Pushed harder will result in more brutal transient shaping and saturated harmonics. 

In / Out / Bypass

Use the Input control to drive more signal into that rosy red apple, increasing the amount of the effect and resulting in more aggressive processing (and a more frantic freakout from the bewigged worm). The Output dial can be used to volume match the original signal so you can hear exactly what effect the plugin is having on the audio, without artificially increasing the loudness. Click the “Punchy Worm” logo to bypass the plugin for easy A/B comparison.

Oversampling

The leaf at the top of the interface acts as a toggle, which can be set to x1, x2 or x4 interval oversampling. Careful use of this control will reduce unwanted noise from digital aliasing.

W. A. Production are real-life producers making creative plugins to help you achieve studio quality processing quickly and easily. Enjoy!

Features:

• Dancing worm!
• One-knob punch and saturation processing
• In / Out controls for accurate A/Bing
• Bypass toggle
• Up to x4 oversampling to reduce aliasing noise

Saucey Audio is ready to release their next plug-in, designed to help you add warmth and harmonics to your mixes.

Couture gives you control over your dynamics, and particularly attacks.

Raw Efficiency. Increase or decrease dynamics. Get a usable result, now.

Fully Volume-independent. Keep the freedom to change input gain when needed. Including the Saturation stage.

Laser-sharp. Couture’s 2-bands, half-spectral, RMS, program-dependent detector finds each and every transient. No internal thresholds.

Couture is very versatile:

• Make individual drum tracks a lot more dynamic and punchy
• Remove the “click” out of a kick drum sample
• Make a whole bus more or less dynamic in a single click
• Give glue to a mix with light compression and saturation.
• Use a subtle saturation that preserve dynamics.
• Deess the very start of notes for vocals.
• Give life to inane lead synths.

Combined dynamics and saturation

There is often some overlap in usage cases between saturation and dynamics. Both can be used to control peaks. Some transients prefer saturation, others prefer dynamics.

Couture comes with both Transient and Saturation sections to make related decisions at the same time. For example for a drum track you can increase dynamics and smash it later with distortion.

Full volume-independence

Transient Shaping is traditionally volume-independent. We extended the Saturation stage to be volume-independent, too

When using Couture you keep the freedom to change input gain afterwards. This avoids some gain-staging dependencies in your signal chain, that may backfire later in the mixing stage.

Compression versus Transient Shaping?

Our vision is that transient control could perhaps be something satisfying.;

In general terms, a compressor is somewhat longer to tune and its parameters change volume: attack, release, ratio, threshold… they change output gain while you tune them.

Essentially, the Transient section of Couture has only 3 parameters and they have semantic meaning:

• Sharpen: add or remove dynamics in one click, how “sharp” the signal is
• Speed: time scale of captured transients
• Front vs Back of the captured note.

When turned to Front, the Sharpen knob acts like the Attack knob on a regular Transient Shaper. When turned to Front, the Sharpen knob acts more like the Sustain knob on a regular Transient Shaper.

To improve predictability, we made Couture’s behavior 100% program-dependent. Couture catches transients very accurately by design.

Scratches, hum, wear and noise is optional

DAW LP is a vinyl player simulation plug-in. It simulates various artifacts associated with vinyl – all the way from the vinyl record surface, to the output cable of the RIAA amplifier. Tune in anything from an old 78:s player to a modern HiFi sound.

• Sweet controls the speed of the tape device in inches per second.
• Body lets you adjust the amount of harmonics and pitch flutter.
• Topping controls the compensation gain for the high-end.

Model the sound of vintage analog tube saturation

WARM

Nothing warms up a vocal track (or pretty much any track) like being recorded through a high quality analog tube preamp. And thanks to Warm, you can add this tube warmth to every track in your mix.

Warm offers the choice of two different tube models.

Velvet tube gives you the subtle effects of classic tube saturation. While most often used for adding warmth to vocals, it sounds just as good on acoustic guitar, horns, strings, synth pads, or pretty much anything.

Crunch tube gives you the deep, warm distortion of an overdriven tube amplifier. You can crank it up for an “industrial” vocal sound, or as an effect on guitar, bass, or synths.

Warm’s unique Omni Tube feature lets you apply tube saturation to the entire signal, instead of just the transients, as is typically the case with a tube preamp.

And since Warm is extremely DSP efficient, you can use it on an almost unlimited number of tracks simultaneously.

Once you start using Warm, you’re going to want it on almost everything.

Fire It Up Presenting HEAT 2 – the original twin distortion powerhouse, now with a stunning refresh.

This face-melting plugin features an intuitive new interface, more accurate frequency monitoring and a host of under-the-hood improvements. 

Choose two of your favourite distortion and saturation models, and blend them together for fuzz-box fun. You can shape the two affected signals with high and low pass filters, resulting in a more musical output than many other types of distortion plugins. Tweak the parameters to your personal taste within the refreshed interface, newly designed to sit right alongside W.A. Production’s other inspiring plugins. The audio processing is now much clearer, with a top-to-bottom approach so it’s now easy to follow the signal flow and create amped-up overdrive.

Of course, W.A. Production also included loads of factory presets to kickstart your distortion discoveries, from extreme settings for smashing your audio to more tempered values for vocals, bass and drums. Use these presets as jumping-off points and then adjust the drive, blend, filters and other parameters to create your unique sound.

Blend 10 Devastating Distortion Types

The whole concept of HEAT 2 is to apply twin distortion and then shape the signals so that your audio is powerful, yet retains musicality. The starting point for this is the 10 different types of modelled distortion. These models all have adjustable drive levels. With a wide range of different distortion types, you can easily craft every timbre from subtle harmonics to blow-the-doors-off distortion. Each of these 10 types of processing will produce a different character and timbre, so experiment by blending between them using the central dial.

Twin Filters

These two filter controls allow you to shape your distortion far more musically than stock plugins. Separately adjust the High and Low frequency cut off parameters for the two different distortion modules. For example, you might only want to crush the mid-range of a synth part, giving it more crunch and power. Or maybe just distort the lowest frequencies of a fat kick drum. Combine two different types of distortion with two different filter shapes and get your audio production-ready with the precision of surgical saturation.

Input, Output & Mix Ratio

Use the Input and Output sliders to compensate for any gain boost or reduction caused by the distortion chambers with up to +/- 48dB attenuation. This allows for very accurate comparisons when A/Bing. Use the Mix ratio control at the bottom centre of the interface to dial in as much (or as little) of the distortion types as you need. Apply a conservative ratio for subtle saturation and sweetening, or push the control further to hear the 100% destroyed signal.

Visual Feedback

The new and improved live frequency meters at the top of the interface show exactly what’s happening to the signal as it’s being processed in real-time. This allows for accurate monitoring each time you decide to make a change to the distortion type or level. The output of the right-hand module is shown as an orange waveform, the output of the left-hand module is shown in yellow. This makes it easy to tell the difference between the two types of distortion that you’re applying to the signal and exactly which parts of the signal the filters are targeting.

Two-Stage Saturation

In a world with so many options for distortion and saturation, where do you turn when you want an effect that really slams? We have the solution to your saturation search, with Make Me Scream.

It’s a crazy sounding name for a crazy sounding plugin that contains a 2-stage effect, with 4 different distortion types and 4 alternate timbre modes. The musicality of your audio is maintained with a smart signal follower that shapes the distortion envelope in line with the transients of your track. To get the most from distortion it’s a good idea to feed the module a slightly saturated signal in the first place, so we’ve added an adjustable preamp tube at the beginning of the signal chain. This 2-stage effect results in a far more dramatic sounds then regular distortion, as the initial tube processing gives the distortion a juicy overdriven signal to latch on to.

Of course, we’ve also included loads of presets to get your overdrive odyssey off to a flying start. These include settings for vocals, drums, bass, full mixes and even some guitar amp simulations. Use them as jumping-off points to tweak the audio to your taste.

4 Distortion Types

With a range of different distortion types, Make Me Scream can handle tasks from subtle saturation and excitement to batter-the-door-down distortion. The 4 modes are; Analog tube saturation, Soft clipping saturation, Regular distortion & Folded sinus distortion. Each of these 4 types of processing will produce a different character and it’s easy to see which mode you’re currently using with the handy interface graphics.

4 Timbre Modes

Depending on which distortion type and mode you use, you’ll hear the audio mangled in different ways. The 4 mode buttons allow access to different styles of processing, with each effecting the signal frequencies in their own way. These modes are named; Fuzz, Wall, Cliff and Make Me Scream (of course). Fuzz is a balanced mode, Wall creates a more muted tone that concentrates on bass, Cliff emphasises the mid range frequencies and Make Me Scream mode brings out the higher frequencies. 

Preamp Tube & Boost

Prior to the signal entering the distortion module, you can add analog tube saturation with the Preamp Tube slider. Then feed the signal level into the distortion unit as carefully or as recklessly as you like by using the Boost dial. This increases the gain on the incoming signal by up to +40db.

Filtering, Emphasis & Envelope Follower

The smart filter controls allow you to shape your distortion far more musically than more vanilla distortion plugins. Set the filter to High, Low or Band pass modes and then set the Filter Cutoff to your taste. For example, you might only want to emphasise the highest frequencies on a whole track, or maybe just the lowest frequencies for a snarling bass line. The Emphasis dial sets the level of frequency boost, for a more pronounced effect around the cutoff frequency that you’ve chosen. The Envelope Follower dial makes the plugin react to the transients of the signal, creating a rhythmic and musical auto-wah feel.

Oversampling, Output & Ratio

Set the amount of internal oversampling from the default x1 up to x16, allowing users with enough CPU power to limit the unwanted non harmonic artefacts in the processed audio. Use the Output slider to compensate for any gain  boost or reduction caused by the distortion unit, allowing for very accurate comparisons when A/Bing. Use the Dry / Wet ratio control to dial in as much (or as little) of the distortion as you need. Use a conservative ratio for subtle top-end sparkle or push the dial further to bust your bass bins.

Visual Feedback

The live visual meter to the top right of the interface shows exactly what’s happening to the signal as it’s being processed in real time. This allows for accurate monitoring each time you decide to make a change to the parameters. The boundary lines at the top and bottom of the meter show when you’re pushing the output signal beyond 0db, so it’s easy to tell the difference between the characterful distortion of Make Me Scream and the digital peaking of the plugin being driven beyond its limit.

Presets

With many included presets, it’s easy to find the perfect starting point for your own journey into distortion and saturation. Tailored to specific instruments, genres and effects, these factory options can be used on many types of audio. The presets include everything from subtle saturation to completely strangled and squashed processing.

Valve saturating based on the circuitry of the U73b Compressor. Almost anything is possible in the digital world. With the right skills and technology you can create absolutely anything you like… like the U78 Saturator. So we took the circuitry of the legendary U73b compressor and played around a bit to come up with some seriously satisfying saturation! More than modelling To start with, we removed our award-winning U73b Compressor plug-in’s compression function. Filters were added, together with the tone control, and, finally, a strong gain control completed the U78 Saturator. We kept the heart and soul of the machine to deliver the beautifully musical tube sound. The result is a saturator that sounds like no other. The U78 Saturator is even better than the real thing, being blessed with the things that dreams are musically made of. U78 Saturator Controls

• Gain – adjusts the input gain of the saturation circuit. (The higher the settings, the more rich the sound that can be achieved.)
• HiPass – sets the cutoff frequency of the high-pass filter, which comes before the saturation circuit in the signal path. (The range is from 30 Hz to 800 Hz – turn the knob to minimum to turn off the HiPass filter.)
• LowPass – sets the cutoff frequency of the lowpass filter, which comes before the saturation circuit in the signal path. (The range is from 1 kHz to 8 kHz – turn the knob to maximum to turn off the LowPass filter.)
• Tone – controls the U78 Saturator’s unique tone filter. (Lower settings produce darker sounds with more low frequency content; conversely, higher settings result in brighter, sparkly sounds.)
• Mix – controls the dry and wet signal ratio. (The dry signal is delayed to match the wet signal path latency to prevent phasing issues.)

Inspired by a model of the classic British device from the Beatles era used on hundreds of record since the sixties Royal Compressor delivers true vintage analog sound and feel.

Pleasant saturation and sensitive compression is something every track really needs.

Vari-mu Compression

The simulation of the vari-mu circuits delivers warmth and pleasant compression to any kind of audio material. It‘s more than just suitable for vocals, bass, drums on both insert and bus.

Automatic Gain Control

Worry about the volume no more. The AGC keeps the output signal at the same level no matter how much input gain you add to get some serious saturation. Changing colour doesn’t change the output volume then.

Just a Few Knobs

Back in the analogue days when every mix had to be achieved manually, it was necessary, to keep as few controls as possible. Royal Compressor honours this philosophy. Those few knobs have a massive impact on your sound and deliver the vintage sound and feel almost instantly.

The Saturator

Unlike the original vintage devices, Royal Compressor also features an adjustable amount of valve saturation. The random saturation algorithm creates the effect the real hardware would have on your tracks.

Three Circuit Types

The A/B/C Model knob offers gives you a chance to switch between three models of circuitry with a different value of the fixed attack.

CPU Friendly

Although Royal Compressor operates using high internal sample rate, the modern simulation technology allows it to deliver great sound using the minimum CPU power.

Realistic 3D Yet Flexible GUI

Photorealistic graphic user interface of the plugin gives you the feeling you are touching the real hardware. But it easily adapts to your needs. You can always drag the arrow in the bottom right corner to change its size – make it smaller to save the valuable screen space, or enlarge it to make it easier to use.

64-bit Audio Quality at ANY Sampling Rate

The plugin provides the maximum audio quality you can get. It uses 64-bit audio processing and can handle any sampling rate. 192 kHz or even higher
