Stoke Saturator
A saturator built around one deeply tuned analog-style voice and four knobs: Drive, Tone, Mix and Output. The low end cannot thin, Auto holds loudness within ±0.5 LU across the whole Drive range, and every one of those claims is a measured test that fails the build if it moves. No modes, no styles. VST3, AU and AAX for Windows and macOS. Free.
One sound. Four knobs. Measured.

Stoke Saturator adds harmonic warmth and density the way pushing analog gear does, with one sound and four knobs. Turn Drive up for more saturation, gentle warmth low on the dial and thicker harmonics as you push it. Tone tilts that sound darker or brighter, up to six decibels either way. Mix blends it against the clean signal without hollowing the sound, Output sets the final level, and Power off passes your audio through untouched for honest comparisons. Auto is on by default and compensates the level as you raise Drive, so the sound gets thicker, not louder. Input calibration in the options menu measures the incoming level, so one Drive setting gives the same character on a quiet source or a hot one. That measurement happens inside the plugin, on your own computer. There are no modes or styles to pick through, just one sound that moves continuously. Twelve starting points named after sources, such as Kick Punch and Bass DI Warmth, give you a place to begin. It keeps the low end intact as you drive it, so Stoke adds heat without thinning the track.
What Stoke Saturator offers
One deeply tuned analog-style voice; Drive morphs it continuously, no modes or styles
Low end that cannot thin: 20 to 120 Hz holds within ±0.5 dB at nominal drive
Auto holds loudness within ±0.5 LU across the whole Drive range and a 24 dB input window
Bit-exact dry path and a separate harmonic residual, so Mix 0 and Drive 0 are exact nulls
Input calibration tracks program loudness, so the character follows the knob, not the fader
Fixed 6-sample latency, reported exactly; aliasing floor measured at -131 dBFS at full drive
