Distortion and saturation play a very important role in music production and FabFilter Saturn 2 is here to provide everything from subtle, clean and warm tube or tape saturation to the wildest multiband guitar amp effects. Saturn 2 introduces a host of features such as a redesigned interface with modulation visualization, subtle saturation and linear phase processing for mastering, many additional distortion styles and more. FabFilter Saturn 2 offers a range of different high quality distortion models, inspired by the vintage sound of tubes, tape, transformers and guitar amps. In addition, you get five creative FX distortion styles to mangle your sounds in weird and unexpected ways. With its multiband design and per-band feedback, dynamics, drive, tone and modulation options, Saturn 2 will bring a unique flavor to your music. Plus, with all the XLFOs, EGs, XY controllers/sliders, envelope followers and MIDI sources you will ever need, you also get practically unlimited modulation possibilities. Creating new modulation connections could not be easier: just drag and drop. Saturn 2 visualizes all modulation in real-time to show you exactly what's going on.
