Saturn

FabFilter

Saturn is a multiband saturation and distortion plugin that combines 16 different distortion styles across six algorithm categories—Tube, Tape, Amplifier, Smudge, Rectify, and Destroy—with multiband processing and extensive modulation capabilities. It delivers everything from clean, warm saturation effects to creative and destructive audio mangling, making it versatile for both transparent coloration and extreme sound design.
