I went insane with this and started duplicating tracks and adding instances of Saturn on them. You can take synth pads and add some serious groove to them, thus turning this plugin instantly into its own instrument. Now, not only do you get the row of controls per band, you get more controls to control each control in each band… That’s out of control right?!! The possibilities are seriously limitless by adding EG’s, XY Controllers, Envelope Followers and XLFO controllers that are assigned to a control simply by dragging and dropping where you want the effect applied. Just below the controls is a button called “Modulation.” This is where things get serious. Each control has extremely easy to use knobs, thus taking the grunt work out of sculpting and mangling your audio.

Having individual easy to use dynamics, drive, EQ, and tone control per band make possibilities endless. I took a stereo track of room mics I had on a drum track and used a little saturation in the mids and smashed it with compression to add some edge to push in the mix on certain parts of the song. Throw on some extremely warm saturation on the mids and you get thisĭrums of all kinds will LOVE this plugin. The result makes the track sound like it was accompanied by a synth lead following the vocal. I took a vocal part I had tracked and placed a filter on the lower frequencies and drove the mess out of them while turning them down in the mix. The vertical axis controls the width of the bands, while the horizontal controls the volume of each. By clicking the plus, you can add up to six multiple bands that each use their own set of controls at the bottom.

Then when I thought I had found all of the features, I notice a small plus sign when my mouse hovers around where the audio meters are jumping around. Also I liked how as you turned the drive knob up, the interface responds via color change (It’s the small things that make a huge difference sometimes). Watching how the frequency bands bouncing in the background respond to my changing of values was extremely helpful. I was turning knobs left and right like a mad man, just pushing the boundaries as far as I could. I don’t want to have to think too much when operating an effect. More companies need to adapt this mentality. Upon first booting the plugin, it explains that hovering over any value for more than 2 seconds will give you help on each respective function, and boy it did. Although I saw it as sparse at first, as soon as I started throwing audio through it, the beast awakened. The interface has a very cool and inviting look to it. So I open up Saturn on a dry, unprocessed vocal track just to start playing with it.

They even have AAX, which with the “Great Pro Tools Scare of Losing Great Plugins” looming, it put my mind at ease that I can hold onto it for a while. A simple copy and paste into a box, a reset of your DAW, and you’re off to the races.

Install was extremely easy, registration… even easier.

Surely nothing great can come out of a piece of software THAT small.

After playing around with this plugin, I honestly didn’t even want to write a reviewįirst off, I scoffed at the size of the install file… A mere 8 megabytes. I definitely wanted to see if the hype and constant mentioning on Pensado’s Place (by many different engineers) was that of product placement or legitimate greatness. This company has made a relatively fast sprout to the top of the crop of plugins, as well as being endorsed by some big players. When I was given a chance to review FabFilter’s multiband distortion plugin, I jumped at the opportunity.
