Saturation VST Plugins

The world is not flat neither should your music be.

Expanse 3D, JMG Sound’s space enhancer, takes advantage of the most recent (and futuristic) knowledge of psychoacoustic effects to help your tracks explode into all three dimensions.

This 3Dimension expander will make your sounds deeper, wider and bigger. 

Or, to sum it up in few words, YOUR MUSIC WILL SOUND SUPERMASSIVE!

Psychoacoustic magic

Expanse achieves the 3D feel using a combination of analogue type saturation, spectral phase offsetting, re-synthesis, intricate delay networks and more. It can be used for mixing, mastering and sound design, it can help glue sounds together and create contrast and definition between sounds in a mix.

Get wider

The advanced spectral phase processer creates super width while remaining natural and transparent. It keeps bass tight, reduces stereo from the sub and gets progressively wider to the high end. It is fully mono-compatible, preserves position focus and can generate stereo from mono.

Get deeper

Add definition and punch to the front and extend the back to get a deeper sound. Expanse 3D uses a complex algorithm of delay networks with channel and phase processing to enhance the perception of depth and add space. It can be used to add dynamic contrast between separate sounds and glue multiple elements together for a more cohesive mix.

Get higher

Make your sounds larger than life by extending out the high and low ends. Unlike traditional EQ that boosts existing frequencies, Expanse 3D generates additional harmonics to give you deeper bass and brighter treble. It greatly improves the perception of low frequencies on speakers less able to produce them and adds controlled power and punch to larger systems.

Analogue beauty

Each dimension enhancer implements finely tuned saturation in its processing. It is modelled on analogue distortion, capturing all of the nuances, such as harmonic distribution, dynamic consistency, non-linear randomness and anti-aliasing algorithms to add beautifully rich and warm colour.

Transparent filters

All the Expanse 3D processes are applied to the appropriate frequency ranges using high-quality filters. These filters cause zero phase shift which makes them suitable for mastering and also does not have any latency.

Enhance your master

Using Expanse 3D subtly can greatly improve the overall impact and energy of the master, making it sound bigger and more exciting. The widener is sympathetic to each frequency, preserves the focus of the stereo position and is fully mono-compatible. Up to 8 times oversampling provides the highest quality saturation to add analogue colour, while the additional harmonics help add clarity. The whole mix gently becomes more cohesive as the parts share a common space. All of this can be perfectly balanced while retaining the original loudness using the auto gain function.

Glue your mix

The depth processor is useful for glueing a mix together as it adds a common space that all the mix elements share, it also, of course, adds depth. When used subtly, this can really make a huge difference to a full mix. There is also an auto gain switch, so you can make changes without changing the loudness.

Define your tracks

Expanse 3D can be used to create contrast between elements in your music by positioning them in the 3D space. You can widen two sounds with one inverted to separate them, create dynamic depth between deep & shallow and brighten sounds to make them stand out from the crowd. All of this helps to further define the individuality of each part, that makes up a complete, dynamic and full sounding mix.

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. It also compensates for latency ensuring that the bypass states are perfectly in sync with each other.

Intelligent sleep on silence

This plugin intelligently detects whether it makes sense to perform processing at all. And if not, it temporarily turns on sleep mode. In such a state, it requires virtually no CPU at all saves the computing sources for other processes.

Hours of mixing and your drumloops still sounds like s… something you are not satisfied with? Don’t waste that time any more. If solid, strong, proud and punchy sound is what you desire then take a shortcut.

Urban Puncher delivers it within a second. Save your time and ears for mixing other elements. The drum issue is solved with Urban Puncher.

MAIN FEATURES

• Punch – Controls the dynamic process with transients treatment and spectral shaping. The more the fist glows the bigger punch you give the loop.
• Dry/Wet – This knob defines how much of the effected sound is mixed in with the original signal. 0 – Only dry sound goes out. 100 only Puncher sound goes out.
• Saturation – Defines the amount of saturation applied on the punch effect – from gentle to harsh.
• Destroy – Triples the amount of saturation defined by the Saturation knob.
• Output – Defines the overall output volume +/-24dB
• Power – Bypasses the effect

How it works

Urban Puncher is an effect that gives a “punch” to your percussive material (drums, percussion). Intended for drum loops but works instantly on anything that you can call drum hit. Your loops will step out of the shadows immediately. Urban Puncher delivers a stronger and more solid feel in no time.

How to use it?

Urban Puncher is a definitive drum improving tool for any urban music producer. It doesn’t matter much if you can put it on your drum channel after or before your EQ or comp. Simply dial how strong the punch your tracks get should be and mix it with the original sound and let Urban Puncher do its magic.

Punch

What is a “Punch”? There’s not a simple answer to that. The punch knob controls several processes at the same time. It can be described as an esoteric dynamic process with transients treatment and spectral shaping.

Saturate

Analogue-like transformer/tube blended emulation of saturation gives the punch a completely different feel. Use it gently to make your track blend in easily or dial the Saturation knob all the way up to get the real street sounds.

Destroy

And you can even punish your drum loops with the Destroy button. Hitting that triples the values you dial with the saturation knob. That results in a heavier form of distortion.

Experiment

Although the primary UrbanPuncher intention is for drum loops it is not where you should stop. The plugin can give extra punch to other instruments such as acoustic guitar or piano. Don’t be afraid to experiment.

Realistic 3D yet flexible GUI

The 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 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 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. It also compensates for latency ensuring that the bypass states are perfectly in sync with each other.

Intelligent sleep on silence

This plugin intelligently detects whether it makes sense to perform processing at all. And if not, it temporarily turns on sleep mode. In such a state, it requires virtually no CPU at all saves the computing sources for other processes.

Suit up your mix with this elegant compressor/saturator/enhancer/enchanter

LUXE is an effect plugin that compresses and saturates an audio signal in a quite subtle but musical way. It is very useful for making a track “fit in the mix”, and can be used with very good results on a drum bus, a vocal track, or anything in between.

LUXE is very easy to use – simply choose between the LUXE or FINESSE algorithms, and set the desired processing level. Don’t be fooled by the modest control possibilities – under the hood is a very sophisticated set of parameters that will treat your incoming audio with great care, musicality, and warmth.

The slider sets the amount of the effect. Under the hood, this parameter controls a set of internal (non-visible) parameters which makes LUXE an easy tool to use for quick results. The OUT knob sets the output volume and ranges from silence to +6 dB.

The alternate FINESSE algorithm offers a slightly different frequency response, and also adds some edge to the internal saturation module.

• 1. Good mood / God mode – Choose between the LUXE or FINESSE algorithm. Both are very nice.
• 2. Watch it squeeze – Indicator that shows the amount of LUXE treatment that is given to your audio signal.
• 3. More or less – How much goodness do you need?
• 4. Tune in, trim out – Output level. Not Input level. Not Putin level.

Features

• Super-simple interface that lets you focus on more important stuff than knobs
• Two carefully developed algorithms that cover a wide array of uses
• Output for controlling the signal
• Low CPU footprint

We’ve done it again… after the release of “Pumper” we wanted to step up our game and give you even more control over the punch and power of your sounds. The sequel, Pumper 3, has been long in development as our team toiled away to retain the stellar performance parameters of the original plugin whilst adding new features. The end result is a multi-effect powerhouse that achieves the level of immediacy, body and depth that our fans expect and their tracks deserve.

This is our most requested update ever and builds on the Compressor, Saturator and Stereo Imager modules of the original whilst adding more controls to fine tune the processing.

Compressor

The compression module has 4 flexible modes:

• Punchy Mode gives you that direct punch and clarity. This is great for kick drums or percussion.
• Fat will help to bring out the bottom end of your audio and make it sound big.
• Clean is more transparent and perfect for adding cohesion. Great for softer vocals or acoustic instruments.
• Soft is wonderful to use on your master channel. Subtle compression makes everything sound tighter, increasing clarity without sucking the life out of your mix.

New compression parameters for Pumper 3 include adjustable wet / dry parallel compression and RMS shaping controls, ideal for perfecting your sound in the box, without resorting to complex channel audio routing.

Saturator

Add warmth and depth with subtle saturation settings, or push the dial up high for pronounced distortion with a harder edge.

The new Rise and Fall settings allow you to shape transients and smooth out the character of the saturation, both essential controls for fine-tuning the performance of any audio.

Stereo Imager

Bring your tracks to life with the Stereo Image control, adding beautifully clear width and depth. Unique to Pumper 3, the dedicated Low and High shelf modes, alongside frequency and resonance controls, allow you to focus the width processing to specific frequency ranges. Use these settings to emphasise the unique characteristics of a sound.

All In One

Using these 3 modules simultaneously within one plugin is quick, easy and inspiring.

Each module has a dedicated input control for balancing the effects and the real-time waveform window shows a visual representation of your audio, both before and after processing. Essential for accurate A/Bing to check the results of Pumper 3’s processing power.

50 factory presets are designed to get you up and running quickly, with tailored settings for drums, vocals, bass, keys, synths, acoustic instruments and mastering. These are all easily accessible from the plugin menu and of course, you can save you own settings as user presets too.

Pumper 3 is a big leap above and beyond the first version. If you’ve used and enjoyed the original Pumper in the past, this is a perfect upgrade with expanded features and more nuanced controls. If you’re new to this kind of processing, then Pumper 3 is a great starting point, with interface controls as simple or complex as you want it to be. We’ve been using Pumper 3 to beef up our kicks, expand synth lines and widen guitars. It’s your one-stop-shop for creating tracks that will engage and excite your listeners.

This product is an individual plugin related to the Parent Plugin: Animate 

Tube Saturator 2 is a super accurate circuit simulation of a tube pre-amp with analog EQ, which can be overdriven gently for warming effects, or cranked for fat distortion.

Like its predecessor, Tube Saturator, TS-2 is based on circuit simulation technology to capture every nuance of an analog circuit.

The circuit consisting of the individual tubes, resistors, and capacitors is converted into a mathematical system of equations which is numerically solved to produce the exact same sound as a real circuit.

But while the original consumed large amounts of CPU power, TS-2 is now super efficient.

MAIN FEATURES

• Accurate tube preamp simulator using circuit simulation technology
• Two common cathode preamp stages
• 12AX7 and 12AU7 tube models
• Drive control for distortion adjustment
• Baxandall 3-band analog EQ
• Saturation and EQ bypass switches
• High quality 2X oversampling mode
• Wet/dry mix control
• Analog style metering
• No latency
• Up to 192 kHz sampling rate
• Mono or stereo

The Saturation section of TS-2 runs about 7x faster than the original and yet the modelling is even more accurate. TS-2 includes the original circuit simulation of the three band Baxandall type EQ as found in many guitar amplifiers.

In addition to this breakthrough improvement in speed, TS-2 has many new features. You can switch between 12AX7 and 12AU7 tubes for different harmonic characteristics. The EQ can be switched to run pre or post saturation.

Saturation and EQ are separately switchable. Also there is a 2x oversampling mode using a very high quality resampler algorithm. Use 2x mode to attenuate aliased distortion harmonics.

Also new is a mix control to blend the processed sound with the original. And finally, TS-2 has a gorgeous new interface.

For more information via video demos, see the video introduction to Tube Saturator 2, and also see examples of applying Tube Saturator 2 to different sounds.

Tired of square wave clipping distortion? Tube Saturator 2 will not disappoint.

Saturate is the Spectral Clipper algorithm made popular in the Elevate Mastering Limiter.

Saturate’s two controls belie a sophisticated signal processing engine which allows it to overdrive a signal without effecting the tonal balance no matter how hard you push it.

Add up to 24 dB of overdrive without creating a “tubby” or muffled sound.

Additionally, the SHAPE control allows you to smoothly morph between hard clipping and the mathematically smoothest curve possible.

Use Saturate to overdrive individual tracks or your entire mix.

MAIN FEATURES

• Smoothly adjust from the softest to the hardest possible clipping shape
• Spectral Clipper maintains tonal balance for an always pleasant saturation sound
• Independent INPUT and OUTPUT levels, with AUTO output level scaling for easy and precise gain scaling
• Saturation Curve Display and Meter shows you how your signal is hitting the selected clipping shape
• Mastering Quality Input and Output metering show you both peak and rms levels

Tape Construction Kit

We took a journey back to the Golden Age of magnetic tape recording. We wanted to recreate all kinds of tape machines in software, from the ground up. After many months spent on research, measurement and on developing an architecture that would be flexible enough for the job, we knew we had nailed it…

But we couldn’t stop there: We added the old noise-reduction systems that were often (mis)used for timbral compression effects. Then more heads and a global feedback path, which made an uber-tape-delay and realistic ‘one-shot’ tape flanging possible.

Users familiar with analogue recording gear should instantly feel at home with Satin, and digital aficionados will also learn to love the magic of tape – Satin invites you to explore and find out for yourself.

Presets

Satin ships with a wide variety of presets – emulations of classic professional tape machines, cheap ‘n nasty tape machines, tape delays, tape flanging/chorus… and a whole lot more!

Gains

The two large knobs adjust input and output levels – probably the most important controls in Satin!

Metering

Precise visual signal level monitoring is ensured through a combination VU & peak meter, with switchable RMS mode and variable reference level.

Delay

2 or 4-tap delay with variable routing, cyclic modulation, feedback filtering and limiter. Easily create beautiful organic space or precisely synchronized, complex patterns. 

Flanger

Unlike regular LFO-controlled digital flangers, this is the real deal. True tape flanging that legendary ‘swoosh’! Doing this on a pair of real tape machines takes skill and practice – with Satin, you simply activate the Trigger.

Grouping

In Studio mode, you can assign each instance of Satin to one of the eight groups. Each group will behave as a multitrack tape, ‘remote-controlled’ from any instance in that group.

Companders

A choice of encoder and decoder circuits brings back the era of noise-reduction systems that were (mis)used for all kinds of dynamic and spectral effects, including the legendary ‘A-type vocal trick’.

TapeControls

Satin’s speed control is continuously variable from 7.5 up to 30ips – it even re-adjusts the entire machine model as you tweak. Pre-emphasis allows for precise control over transients, tone and fidelity.

Service Panel

Satin lets you get seriously technical whenever you want: adjust numerous attributes of the tape, the heads and the surrounding circuitry. A handy analyzer makes alignments such as biasing easy and precise.

MAIN FEATURES

• Mix-and-match emulation spans all major historical developments in tape technology
• Control multiple instances from one panel – ‘glue’ multiple tracks together
• High-quality: internal sample rate up to 384kHz, continuous tape speed control
• All the ‘goodness’ of tape (saturation, transient-smoothing, HF compression etc.)
• Full control over the ‘badness’ (head-bump, wow&flutter, asperity noise, hiss etc.)
• Record / repro EQ standards (separately selectable), classic NR compander standards
• Extra FX modes: through-zero tape flanging, host-synchronizable 4-tap stereo delay

Instant Energy, Depth & Character

Escalator is a combination of compression, saturation & distortion that allows you to quickly colour your sound with a variety of flavours.

Instantly energize your sound with the turn of a knob. Apply lighter settings to get thicker sounds without the mud or ‘crank it’ for a more aggressive sound without all that harshness.

Key Features

• The lower value ranges saturate your sound while maintaining the transients
• As the value range increases, the more Saturation and Softclipping is applied. Pinning the transients in place and focusing the overall dynamic range
• The more extreme value range will start to apply a distortion to your overall signal

Roelof Klop
“Escalator has replaced almost all my saturation plugins. It’s not only easier to use, but it sounds amazing, rich and full!”

Julian Kuchler
“Escalator is an amazing tool! Super easy and fast to add unique thickness and punch to your mixes.”

Unlock Unparalleled Powers.

Parallel processing plays a fundamental part in getting a “big” mix sound. By processing multiple copies of the same track and blending them together, you can add more punch to a mix — in a more natural-sounding way.

It’s like teamwork: Multiple copies of the same track – each focused on doing one specific job – can achieve more together than a single copy being processed to death on its own.

Parallel Aggressor is based on this simple concept.

The plugin splits your audio into three equal parts:

• Dry – Your original signal
• Spank – A heavily compressed duplicate
• Heat – A heavily saturated duplicate

Work the duplicates hard! Then combine all three signals to squeeze every drop of sonic juice out of your track.

Great sound – great simplicity.

You’re probably using parallel processing all over your mixes already. But Parallel Aggressor is designed to give you the maximum sonic impact with the lowest possible track count. No extra busses or mix faders needed.

As with all our plugins, we’ve engineered Parallel Aggressor to inject its own sonic flavor into your mix.

The plugin is designed to make the small decisions internally, while leaving the big decisions to you.

PARALLEL ENGINE 1: SPANK

Spank offers an addictively punchy compression algorithm, designed to adapt to your audio signal. It begins where our I Heart NY plugin ended, with improvements in sound quality, signal detection and flexibility.

Style injection buttons: Extra Punch, Extra Smack, Sidechain Filter, Mono

PARALLEL ENGINE 2: HEAT

Heat is a warm, analog modeled, saturation algorithm with an aggressive bite. It is based on our tape saturator from Super VHS, but has been rewritten and optimized for the Parallel Aggressor release.

Style injection buttons: Extra Hot, Tone, HP Filter, LP Filter

AUTO GAIN:

Auto Gain ensures that the combined output of the plugin’s three signals roughly matches the input/dry level. This allows you to experiment with different internal mix balances while keeping a consistent plugin output.

PRESETS:

Parallel Aggressor comes loaded with 25 presets created by BABY Audio and some friends of the house:

• KurtCurt (Grammy nominated engineer for 2 Chainz, Diamond D, Wiz Khalifa).
• Anthony Saffery (Billboard #1 producer for Portugal. The Man, Dirty Vegas, Cornershop).

Dark Mode

Grey Mode

Light Mode

What the Workflow looks like:

• Balance the three parallel signals from the main level mixer.
• Use the Spank and Heat knobs to dial-up the firepower of the parallel engines.
• The meters help you set the right amount of Spank and Heat for any audio signal. (Dial the main Spank/Heat knobs until the meters peak right before the orange line).
• The style knobs inject desirable sonic flavors into the parallel engines. Engage multiple at once.
• The solo buttons let you monitor each parallel signal individually for fine-tuning purposes.
• Turn on Auto Gain to get a consistent plugin output, roughly matching the input level.
• Output sets the global output level (post Auto Gain).
• Switch between three different color schemes by clicking the top left icon.

Notable User: Damien Lewis – Grammy Awarded Producer/Mixer for Rihanna, Beyoncé, Timbaland
“Parallel Aggressor takes parallel compression to another level. I’m not sure what’s under the hood but it’s magic and I always love what it does to my drums and instrument busses.”

EQ, Compression and Saturation Plugin

Whether you’re recording basic tracks or adding the final touches on your mix, the Symphony ECS Channel Strip offers a simple but comprehensive EQ, compression and saturation for enhancing your tracks with minimum fuss and maximum results.

MSaturatorMB is a powerful multiband saturation/distortion processor.

It can be smooth as glass, hard as rock, or creamy as butter. Its modulation system goes far beyond what you could have thought possible. All this with unbelievable audio quality that will blow you away.

Features

• Dual user interface – the plugin is not only extremely versatile, but also quick and easy-to-use thanks to 2 graphical user interfaces. First there is a simple default one with several predefined modes, but just a few controls, which lets you start quickly and easily without any knowledge. All you need to do is choose what you want and use a few knobs. And the plugins also has an advanced mode, which provides all the extreme features the plugin offers.
• 1-6 fully configurable independent bands built on 3 perfectly transparent crossover algorithms (analog, linear-phase and hybrid) with fully adjustable limits and input gains. Includes peak meters for all bands and the master.
• Continuously adjustable oscillator shape – every oscillator in our plugins is defined by a mix of predefined oscillator shapes, custom waveforms edited using our MeldaProduction Envelope System (MES), step-sequencer and several methods for algorithmic postprocessing. It is the most advanced approach for defining oscillator shapes.
• 4 global modulators – in each instance you can have up to 4 fully-featured modulators that can modulate any set of parameters including other modulators! In this way you can make the sound move in time, be less static and more interesting. Each modulator works as LFO, follower, midi/audio triggered ADSR envelopes, a pitch detector or even a combination.
• Up to 8 channels surround processing – our plugins can handle not only mono and stereo signals, but also up to 8 channels of surround audio, making them ideal for audio production for movies, games etc.
• Full randomization – using a single button you can generate completely new settings. By clicking the button you can walk through the billions of possible settings and find the best one for you! And if that’s too much, you can just hold ctrl and MSaturatorMB will only slightly modify existing settings.
• Adjustable up-sampling 1x-16x to minimize aliasing and get an even clearer sound.
• Extremely advanced and easy-to-use user interface – our products are always designed to enhance the workflow. You can easily change all values, fine-tune each control in multiple ways. Easy orientation in a standardized GUI, textual editing and smooth visualization with almost unlimited zooming are standard in all of our plugins. Moreover our plugins are the world first (and still the only ones), which support resizable and stylable GUI’s.
• Automatic synchronization to host tempo – every oscillator and modulator in the plugin can automatically synchronize to the host providing as natural a sound as possible while not offending other tracks.
• MIDI controllers with MIDI learn – you can map any parameter to any MIDI controller or MIDI keyboard and control it realtime or record and automate it.
• Very fast, optimized for SSE and SSE2 processors.
• Global preset management and online preset exchange – using a title button you can save your settings (which are shared on the computer) so you can easily access these in other songs. Moreover all plugins can automatically share your presets and download presets of other users from our servers (if this feature is enabled). We are building a community and you can be a part of it!
• Fully automatable.

SKYE Clipper is a clipper and saturator that can be used for mixing, mastering and creative sound design.

It includes 7 different clipping types, utilising our sophisticated proprietary real-time anti-aliasing algorithms, with a sleek, feature rich and yet simple user interface. Clippers are a great way to add perceived volume to your tracks by shaving off the peaks and adding more body by introducing harmonic saturation that can create a rich, punchy and fuller sound. They also work great as saturators to add some grit and crunch on your instruments.

What does SKYE Clipper Do?

SKYE Clipper lets you choose between different clipping styles to help control peaks, add loudness to your mix, or to add saturation to your audio. This means it can be used in a variety of scenarios like taming a snare, bus processing, or to add texture to a synthesiser. You can look back over your audio to check your processing with our scalable history view for precision work. Drop it on the master and push the signal into clipping to emulate A-D Convertor clipping.

Remove unwanted aliasing artefacts

SKYE Clipper uses our proprietary real time anti-aliasing algorithms to drastically reduce the amount of aliasing artefacts produced by clipping. This removes the need to use high upsampling ratios that are known to cause an increase in CPU usage that slows down performance.

Automated parameters

SKYE Clipper has a control panel where you can control its Pre-gain, Threshold, Clipping Type, Gain Link, Post-Gain and Dry-Wet Mix. All parameters are fully automatable in your DAW and all controls can also be fine tuned by holding the shift modifier while dragging.

THIS PRODUCT IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH PRO TOOLS

Smart Saturation

Boost X is a dynamic and smart Saturation/Overdrive plugin.

Used to make any sound warmer by adding extra harmonics.

Many other Saturation/Overdrive plugins use a static (stateless) algorithm that doesn’t change depending on the audio passed through. These effects rely on a gain boost, when the audio hits a certain threshold then Saturation is applied. They are either on or off and the amount of saturation is heavily dependent on the loudness of the audio passed into them.

Boost X is different, it reacts to the input audio and applies the perfect amount of saturation at the current loudness. This means even quiet sounds can be overdriven without any gain in loudness. Boost-X also compensates for perceived loudness, bringing the loudness down even further so you get nice rich harmonics added to your sound, without destroying the balance of your mix.

Gives your sounds a rich depth and warmth that sits well in your mix, bringing your vocals and instruments to life with a true analog warmth and feel.

Get it with Boost X – Dynamic Saturation.

Boost X Features

• Dynamic saturation – Stateful saturation which dynamically responds to the input signal.
• 16 times Oversampling – For maximum aliasing repression and highest quality sound.
• 7 Saturation types.
• Large amount knob for fine control.
• High definition resizable GUI.

THE MF-109S SATURATOR IS A NEW SOFTWARE-ONLY EFFECT WHICH EMERGED OUT OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE MOOGERFOOGER EFFECTS PLUG-INS. 

A major component of each Moogerfooger is its input drive stage, which is able to add warmth, distortion, and crunch to a sound. During beta testing, it became clear that users wanted dynamic control over the drive circuit of the Moogerfoogers, so the MF-109S was born.

The MF-109S Saturator is able to move from tight, dynamic overdrive and analog saturation to smooth compression and expansion by pairing a wide-range envelope follower with bipolar control over the unique drive circuit of the Moogerfooger Effects Plug-ins.

Further, it models the noise generator circuit of the Minimoog Model D and allows for control of both noise generator level and noise tone with switchable filter type.

The MF-109S Saturator’s envelope follower and noise CV outputs and multiple CV inputs allow it to speak with all of the other Moogerfooger Effects Plug-ins.

NEW MF-109S EXPANDS ON CLASSIC MOOGERFOOGER SOUND

The MF-109S features a host of unique settings, including: ENVELOPE switches between a MONO envelope follower or creates two separate left and right envelope followers for STEREO dynamics.

RESPONSE affects how the curve of the envelope follower is shaped by the incoming dynamics of your input.

TONE switches the filter type of the NOISE circuit.

NOISE allows for a phase-inverted NOISE signal routed in stereo.

The MF-109S offers CV Inputs for Drive, Drive Envelope Amount, Noise Level, Noise Envelope Amount, and Noise Tone, as well as the capability to attenuate or soften these modulations.

THE SOUNDS OF THE MF-109S SATURATOR EFFECT

The Moogerfooger Effects Plug-ins range from clean filtering to wildly experimental modulation designed to manipulate, enhance, and fully transform any sound. Each with its own distinct identity, these effects are designed to work perfectly alongside one another in your audio chain.

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.
