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.

Drive is the sound, deeper. Low on the dial it adds second-order warmth; pushed, it grows controlled upper harmonics under a hard ceiling on shrill orders. The character never switches modes: one voice, continuously. Tone is a minimum-phase ±6 dB tilt around 800 Hz on the saturated path only. Mix is a phase-clean parallel blend against a dry path that is a bit-exact delay line, so Mix 0 and Drive 0 are exact nulls. Output is the final trim. Auto is equal-loudness Drive: turning it up gets thicker, not louder, with output loudness held within ±0.5 LU across the whole range and across a 24 dB input-level window. Input calibration watches program loudness with BS.1770 weighting and normalizes the drive circuit's operating point, so Drive 40 means the same character whether the source sits at -24 or -6 dBFS. A program-dependent bias gives sustained material a slight bloom, and a transient-aware ease protects the first milliseconds of every hit: drums keep their attack crest at nominal drive, bounded within 4 dB at full drive. Energy from 20 to 120 Hz holds within ±0.5 dB at nominal drive. The aliasing floor measures -131 dBFS at full drive. Power is an honest bypass that passes the input bit-exactly. Latency is a fixed 6 samples (0.125 ms at 48 kHz), reported to the host and verified by test. Twelve source-named starting points, precision readouts you can type into, and the coal under Drive glows with the harmonic energy the circuit is actually adding. Every number above is a measured contract: a test that fails the build the moment it moves. Null-test us. Built and used at a working recording studio.
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
