SHAPES OF SATURATION

Taking a closer look at the eight saturation shapes, we can try to decide which form will best fit the type of effect that we want to achieve with PSP Saturator. Saturating plugins are traditionally used to bring out harmonics based on the frequencies of the source sounds. Originally, when engineers started using studio hardware saturators, different saturators would be used depending on the situation, as the way the sound changed depended on the idiosyncrasies of each circuit in any given unit. With this, we’re able to use this software in the same way engineers might choose a piece of hardware for character.
