Tape Saturator
Add presence and warmth by emulating the sound of passing signal through tape ma-
chine, which produces musical harmonic distortion, especially the signal is over driven
to create pleasing ‘soft-clipping’.
CONTROLS

Boost (+24 dB) or attenuate (-60 dB) the audio input gain.
Saturation

Specify the amount of compression (between 0% and 100%) to attenuate the signal.
Reduction
A VU-meter that displays the amount of gain reduction in decibels (dB).
Attack
Specify the response time of attenuation (between 0.1 and 10 milliseconds) after the threshold is
crossed.
Release
Specify the release time of attenuation (between 100 milliseconds and 1 second) after the threshold
is crossed.
Soft-Clip
