Saturation Knob

Saturation Knob free saturation by Softube

Saturation Knob is a free saturation AAX plugin developed by Softube. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b, macOS.

Saturation Knob is the analog sounding, simple to use, yet versatile way of adding some sweet distortion to your tracks. The knob itself controls the amount of saturation, and there are three different distortion characteristics to choose from by flicking the switch.

With the switch set to Neutral, the entire frequency spectrum of the sound gets distorted when you turn up the Saturation knob. Put it on Keep Low, and the saturation will mainly affect the lower part of the frequency spectrum, while the top end stays clear. Conversely, with Keep High selected, the low end will retain its clear sound and instead only the treble parts of the sound will get distorted. This makes a wide variety of distortion characteristics available to you.

Saturate

Saturate free saturation by BlueLab | Audio Plugins

Saturate is a free saturation VST, VST3, Audio Unit, AAX plugin developed by BlueLab | Audio Plugins. Compatible OS(s): Windows 64b, macOS.

Saturate is a simple saturation plugin.

It is not aimed to replicate the saturation of a particular device, it just makes a saturation in the strict sense of the term.

The plugin processes the waveform to make the saturation effect, by cutting the waveform as soon as the level exceeds a threshold value. The output gain is then automatically adjusted to correct the loss of global level. For a better quality, an oversampling of x4 is used for the processing.

SARP

SARP free soundbank by Channel Robot

SARP virtual instrument is a free sound bank for Kontakt, by Channel Robot.

SARP is a free Kontakt arpeggiator-instrument.

Sometimes its easier to just do rather than say, and our unique and creative arpeggiator is one such time. We’ve used the engine inside SARP in a range of products, Folio Bass, Phenomena, and others.

We wanted to give everyone an opportunity to try the sequencer for free so you can learn how to use it to its potential before you purchase any of the full products that use the same arp. So here it is stand-alone and for-free.

SARP showcases our advanced ‘Multi-key’ sequencer. Unlike other sequencers, this enables you to run up to 8 different sequencers at the same time- based on how many and which notes are pressed on your keyboard. The first lane corresponds to the first key pressed, the second lane to the second key and so on. It’s very flexible and easy to use.

There’s only 8 voices to select from (2 Basses from Folio Bass, 2 voices from Phenomena, 2 from the up-coming KeyTone and 2 drum kits from the up-coming Folio Drums), so it’s never going to be your go-to sound source, but for creative poly-rhythmic arpeggiations we think its unsurpassed.

You can make Kontakt send MIDI notes out so you can even place your sound-source-of-choice right after SARP-Kontakt in your DAW to get arpeggiated sequences using other instruments. So it should be really really useful straight out of the box.

Here’s a quick demo :

by Antti of Smart Electronix

Saro is a tube distortion effect with cabinet modeling. It’s based on AX-84 High Octane guitar amp; only the preamp part is modeled.
