Price History of FabFilter Saturn 2

Description of FabFilter Saturn 2

FabFilter Saturn 2 is a high-quality distortion/saturation plug-in with a huge range of distortion models ranging from subtle to screaming vintage amp modelling, multiple frequency bands, hugely flexible modulation system, and a very modern, well-designed user interface. The Saturn 2 app filters the microphone input and plays it back in real-time. To use Saturn 2 as a plug-in, you need an AUv3-compatible host app like Auria, AUM or Cubasis. Saturn 2 will appear in the list of Audio Unit extensions for effect plug-ins in the host app. Key features: - 28 different distortion styles, from subtle tube saturation to heavy guitar amps and bit crushing - Multiband processing (up to 6 bands), with optional linear phase processing - Adjustable slope for the band crossovers, offering 6, 12, 24 and 48 dB/oct options - Optional HQ modes: Good (8x oversampling) and Superb (32x oversampling) - Per-band drive, mix, feedback, dynamics, tone and level controls - Fully redesigned, easy-to-use interface, with interactive multiband display and a new modulation system - Endless modulation options, with all the 16-step XLFOs, XY controllers/sliders, envelope generators, envelope followers, and MIDI sources you will ever need - Easy drag-and-drop modulation with 50-slot modulation matrix - Live modulation visualization for targets and sources - Curve control in EGs and transient detection in EFs - Carefully designed and curated factory presets, plus the ability to save your own presets - Mid/side processing - External side-chain triggering - Optional MIDI triggering - Undo/redo and A/B comparison "I've found a plugin I can’t live without. There’s not one single type of instrument that can't benefit in some way by having some Saturn on it. [...] Whether you’re looking for a subtle push in the mix or all out audio destruction, Saturn has you covered. Verdict: 9/10!" — Everything Recording "The quality of the algorithms is palpable: the amps, tubes and tape types feel suitably 'real' but more sonically interesting than most, and the movement and 'funk' that can be imposed on them is nothing short of dazzling." — Future Music

Reviews of FabFilter Saturn 2

  • Feels like a final piece of the tone puzzle

    Live musician here, bassist, been playing thru Loopy Pro on older iPad and SSL+ audio interface for a year and a half with zero hiccups.

    Searching for ideal plugins to mimic pedals is a big part of the challenge and while delays, compressors, audio shredders are aplenty, a real thick nasty envelope filterish distortion has been almost impossible to find until putting this into the chain.

    Coupled with a phaser plugin from AudioDamage with zero adjustments and it was just nasty. Really really nasty like how can an iPad be pumping that noise out. Sound engineer at both performances with it were blown away. What more could a bassist want?

    In terms of being an expensive IOS purchase I’ve easily spent a couple thousand on real pedals over the years that this $20ish plugin trounces so yeah…

    Thanks Fabfilter people, that much closer to the complete tone!!
  • 4 mb for $30. Haha

    These plug-in are overpriced, compared to lower priced and free apps, difference in sound quality is barely noticeable if at all. You are paying for the name. $19-$30 for a pretty gui
    Look at 4pockets Visual Multi-band compressor $8 , bigger app, more functionality, lower price, HD quality.
  • One effect to buy?

    Get this. You will be able to warm and shape your tone with ease. Recommend to RTFM ;)
