It works as a plug-in on the individual tracks in your mix or as part of the T-RackS chain. It works by imparting distortion into the digital processing which by its nature doesn't typically change or alter the linearity of the frequency response and harmonic pattern of a signal. The introduction of distortion simulates the way analog circuitry behaves especially when pushed beyond its limit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eThe controls on the Saturator X are pretty straightforward: Input Gain, Ouput drive (can be independent or inverse linked controls), Saturation mode select, Brickwall limiter engage and Oversampling select.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eThe Input Gain and Output level controls can operate as individual controls, allowing you to freely adjust how much saturation effect is applied and how loud the effect appears in the mix. You can also “inverse link” the two and maintain the ratio of input gain to output volume. This lets you set your overall perceived volume, lock it in, then adjust the amount of saturation applied without changing the output level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"clear\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"float_right mt0 mb10\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ikmultimedia.com\/joomla\/images\/ik_images\/product_page\/trsaturatorx\/modes2.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e10 modes of Analog\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eEach of the 10 saturation modes accurately delivers the behavior of the analog hardware component and circuitry or medium, selected for its peculiar character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eThe palette of available tones varies from the very subtle \"color\" of the transformers, which offer a super light change in frequency response and only a hint of breakup towards the very top end of the gain range, to more pronounced and downright \"nasty\" distortion as in tubes or solid states circuit designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eThe modes include:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTape 1\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis mode reproduces the classic character and high frequency compression of an analog tape machine reaching saturation when pushed above normal recording levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTape 2\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSimilar to Tape 1 in terms of typical uses, this mode reproduces a more \"Lo-Fi\" analog tape response with more pronounced distortion and high frequency roll-off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaster +6dB\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a digitally-recreated soft saturation curve that can be very useful when mastering finished tracks to add RMS level and “body” to a somewhat weak-sounding mix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaster + 12dB\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is similar to Master +6dB but with a more pronounced soft-saturation curve to make the effect even more prominent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTube 1 - Push Pull\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis mode produces classic tube saturation with odd harmonics added by the symmetrical clipping of the Push\/Pull electronics.
