Key Features
FabFilter Saturn 2 is an all-in-one mixing plug-in, based around a highly versatile multi-band distortion and saturator. Featuring 28 unique distortion styles from subtle and transparent tube warmth to over-the-top guitar amplifiers and FX, FabFilter Saturn 2 gives you a huge range of tonal options to explore. Split your audio track into six frequency bands and process these bands completely individually, with control over the wet/dry mix for parallel processing, four-band EQ, dynamics control, tone and level per band to tailor your saturation and distortion to your sound source and mix to create sonic perfection. Each of the six bands has an adjustable crossover slope ranging from 6 to 48dB per octave, allowing you to precisely affect the targetted frequency range.
Distortion and saturation are extremely important within music production, allowing you to add authentic warmth and harmonics to your track to cut above even the densest of mixes. Alternatively, it can be used as a creative effect and completely transform your signal to a focal point within the mix and with Saturn 2, you are given a tremendous range of options to explore and broaden your tonal palette. Whether you're looking to add warmth and depth to a sterile, digital synth sound or to add searing distortion to a driving rock vocal performance, Saturn 2 will get you the results you need.
Saturn 2 boasts a redesigned interface with modulation visualization and a new 50-slot modulation matrix accessed via a simple drag and drop solution. Explore the limits of your creativity and discover how modulation can transform linear distortion effects to dynamic, moving and lively distortions with envelope gates, LFO's and much more.
Product Ref: 189022
Offering a staggering 28 modes of distortion spanning everything from vintage guitar amplifiers, tube, tape and transformer emulations to unique creative FXs, Saturn 2 gives you the tools to sculpt and shape any sound source. Each distortion holds a distinctive character and can add subtle warmth and transparency for mastering purposes in a full mix or send your instruments through searing distortion for aggressive and punchy tones.
A newly implemented category within Saturn 2 is the Transformer distortions, with Subtle, Gentle and Warm settings, you can span the full range of overdrives to work on a full mix or group to individual instruments.
Not limited to simply adding distortion and saturation to your signal, FabFilter Saturn 2 has much more functionality than what meets the eye. A single dial 'dynamics' knob can be individually assigned to each frequency band you create adds a layer of compression/limiting to each band. This makes the ideal solution for mixing engineers to tame aggressive peaks caused by large amounts of distortion on a signal to keep the level consistent.
Saturn 2 is truly a desert-island plug-in, performing the job of many other processors in a single unit, all the while delivering the signature sound quality you've come to expect from FabFilter. Inside the plug-in, you are presented with the opportunity to explore modulation by applying XLFO's, envelope followers and generators, XY controllers and MIDI sources to the frequency, dynamic, distortion level and crossovers of your sound design. This can create some very interesting and unique sounds that will help elevate your sound to the next level.
Using an extremely simple drag and drop interface, there is an almost limitless number of modulation possibilities. Activate an envelope follower and select your input source from the normal input, sidechain input or by one of the activated bands within your interface, meaning the signal driving the envelope follower comes after the crossover filters. Here, you can experiment with activating your envelope follower on only the low frequencies to create an extra thick punch to your kick drums or bass guitars.
A new transient mode allows you to trigger your modulation on the transient detection of the source, to quickly and easily add positive or negative modulation to shape and sculpt the impact and punch of your selected band.
There's simply no limit to how you can generate sound design within Saturn 2 and the sleek newly designed modulation interface will make it simple and easy to understand and implement in your mixes.
In keeping with the existing catalog of FabFilter products, Saturn 2 employs the same attention to detail and care in giving you the best experience possible when operating the plug-in. In order to deliver the smoothest experience possible, FabFilter Saturn 2, Digital Delivery utilises smart parameter interpolation to ensure that each setting change is performed smoothly with a high degree of responsiveness. When combined with the improved MIDI learn function, FabFilter Saturn 2 responds immaculately when used in conjunction with a MIDI controller, meaning that when performing live, you can map each parameter to your chosen controller and adjust settings on the fly without any distractions, giving your audience the best listening experience possible.
If you are new to entering the world of creative sound design, FabFilter Twin 2 has got you covered. With extensive help files and interactive help hints per parameter, you can learn the function of each parameter. Additionally, you can save each part of your signal chain, or save it globally for an overall preset that you can recall in an instant in future sessions.
