PSP MixSaturator

General information

Description

PSP MixSaturator is a specialised processor whose aim is to produce a saturated sound, typical for such analog devices as tape recorders and valve circuits. In the interests of ensuring a wide range of sound possibilities and high sound quality, three algorithms have been used in this plug-in:

  • the analog saturation simulation algorithm, which enables the user to choose one of the seven curves of non-linearity characteristic of valve devices, analog tape and digital clipping,
  • the bass frequencies processing algorithm, whose aim is to add warmth to the sound within the bass frequencies range, through adding harmonics and increasing the bass in a recording,
  • the treble frequencies processing algorithm, which gives the user the possibility of simulating tape saturation within the treble frequencies range, without increasing the level of distortion and aliasing.

Features

  • the simulation of saturated sound characteristic of valve devices and tape recorders,
  • a wide range of possible sounds,
  • special circuits to shape the sound of bass and treble frequencies,
  • a library of 24 presets.

Applications

  • the enriching of sound with harmonics and increasing the mean level while recording, mixing and mastering,
  • the processing of mixes and single tracks.

Compatibility

PSP MixSaturator is compatible with applications which operate the standard VST plug-ins. The product has been tested in the following applications:

  • Steinberg Cubase VST 4.x i 5.x
  • Emagic Logic Audio 4.1
  • Prosoniq sonicWORX 2.x
  • TC Works Spark

System requirements

  • Mac OS 8.5 or higher
  • 64 MB RAM
  • G3 200 MHz or faster
  • S-VGA display adapter with color depth no less than 16 bit (High Color) and resolution of 1024x768

Demo version restrictions

  • this plug-in is not optimized, the full version is almost twice faster,
  • after every few seconds the sound processing will be muted.

Specifications

    Plug-in type: Plug-in VST, Mac version
    Internal signal processing: 32-bit, floating-point
    Processing speed: about 10% of the computation power of the G3 300MHz processor with all algorithms set on
