ARSAT

ARSAT combines four distinct saturation characters in one plugin, ranging from gentle peak rounding to hard clipping. Choose TAPE for a smooth symmetric knee, TUBE for even-harmonic warmth, DIODE for harder asymmetric saturation, or FUZZ for outright clipping. Each mode uses a different transfer curve, changing the character of the distortion rather than simply increasing its intensity. A live transfer-curve display shows the actual shaping function and highlights how much of the curve your signal is hitting. Oversampling up to 32× helps prevent generated harmonics from folding back into the audible range, while AUTO GAIN compensates for increases in level as DRIVE is raised. TONE tilts the spectrum before saturation to control which frequencies drive the processor hardest, while MIX blends the processed and dry signals for parallel saturation. ARSAT also provides exact reported latency at every oversampling setting, a flat passband to 20 kHz, and bit-exact bypass.
