PSP Audioware Saturator

PSP Audioware, creators of plugin such as PSP VintageWarmer2, PSP InfiniStrip, and the PSP 2445 EMT, announce their latest plugin PSP Saturator.

PSP Saturator emulates the way that analog devices such as tape recorders and valve circuits warm up and “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 loads of flexibility from subtle ‘mix mojo’ to outright audio destruction.

PSP Saturator Features At A Glance

• 8 different saturation shapes for a variety of tonal flavours.
• Three signal sculpting engines (low, high, overall saturation).
• Adjustable Low and High band processing engines for adequate, band related warming effects.
• Parallel mix option, with internal intelligent phase alignment.
• Multiple metering modes for signal analysis.
• Additional control panel for fine-tuning of various saturation parameters and smoothing.
• Three output modes (off, sat, lim) for shaping the final output stage.
• Input and Output gain controls, with optional relative link.
• Optional “FAT” quad-sampling for pristine saturation quality.
• Very low internal latency of 6 samples.
• 200 presets designed by top engineers and producers around the globe including Michael Brauer, Jason LaRocca, Ronan Chris Murphy, Jurij Ricotti, and John Kurzweg.

The Story of Saturator

PSP Saturator is based on the concept of the now legendary PSP MixSaturator which was developed 21 years ago (time flies, huh?). About two years ago, PSP decided it was time to reintroduce this concept and bring it up to modern standards, as well as use this opportunity to implement what was learned in the last few decades of plug-in development. This ended up entailing a full rewrite of algorithms, and subsequent upgrades including 384kHz oversampling support.

PSP have fine-tuned the plug-in by refreshing every single algorithm inside of PSP Saturator to ensure it was the best possible form of saturation no matter what flavour is chosen. With the support of top mixing engineers and producers, and a relatively long beta process, each algorithm was refined to win the hearts (and more importantly, ears) of some of the most discerning users in the industry.

PSP Saturator brings an all-new product that implements the latest and greatest in terms of both DSP and support for modern systems with compatibility for Windows 11, Mac OS Silicon, extensive oversampling, and the most pristine saturation PSP can offer.

As usual, we recommend you rely on your own ears, experience and needs when it comes to plug-ins. We’d encourage all users to download the free demo version and play with it for 30 days before making any decision.

Until November 14th PSP Saturator will be offered at the special introductory price of US$69 (includes sales or VAT taxes). Starting from November 15th PSP Saturator regular price US$99 will be applied (includes sales or VAT taxes). Current users of the PSP MixPack bundle can buy PSP Saturator with additional 70% discount.
