MS Saturator

Independent saturation for the mid and side channels.

VST3 · AU · AAX

Mid/side saturation solves a specific problem: adding harmonic weight to a mix without smearing the center image. Push the Mid channel through Tape for low-end glue, then drive the Side channel with Fuzz for width that doesn't fight the vocal or kick sitting dead-center. Five character modes per channel, driven independently, mean the same knob does something different on Mid than it does on Side — because on a real mix, it needs to.

Character modes

Console

A clean, subtle console-style saturator. Adds low-order harmonics without shifting the tonal balance.

Tube

Even-harmonic tube saturation. Thickens the signal and rounds off transient peaks.

Tape

Tape-style soft clipping on peaks with a gentle high-frequency roll-off.

Drive

Harder clipping for a more aggressive, present sound.

Fuzz

Heavy asymmetric clipping, built for extreme settings, not for subtlety.
