Saturation

Roar

Ableton

Roar is a saturation and distortion device for Live 12 that offers an experimental approach to gain staging through flexible routing modes and stackable shaper curves. It features three processing stages with multiple routing architectures, comprehensive modulation sources, and a distinctive feedback loop that can create ringing textures and delay-like effects. With twelve shaper types, eight filter types, and mid-side, multiband, and feedback processing options, Roar produces sounds unlike other instruments or effects currently available in Live.
