PIC 2: Hard Curve with Color settings enabled, emphasizing low frequencies with the Base control and adding a bit of noise to the high-end. For super intense low end, drop the Base control down – however, it’s easy to add a lot of gain here, so you might need to reduce the Output gain to compensate. It might be worth dialing in fairly extreme Color settings and then toggling Color off and on to get a sense for what’s being altered. Try increasing or decreasing the Depth dial and then sweeping the Freq and Width to get a feel for controlling this additional dimension of saturation. With Color enabled, Base governs how Saturator processes low frequencies at higher Drive settings, with lower Base values focusing on lower frequencies and higher Base values pulling the distortion focus upward in the frequency spectrum for nasty, gabber-style hardcore kick drums and more.įreq, Width, and Depth control high frequency noise shaping to add another layer of filth. Below the DC toggle is the Color activation, which enables the four filter control dials below. DC removal is on by default, filtering out DC offsets at the input stage. Engaging Saturator’s Soft Clip toggle adds an additional Analog Clip circuit at the output stage of the device. The other circuits are fairly self-explanatory, with Digital Clip providing the modern counterpart to the Analog Clip circuit, while Medium and Hard Curve deliver somewhat more traditional distortion effects. Soft Sine and Sinoid Fold begin to noticeably diverge at higher Drive settings, where the Sinoid Fold produces some rather artificial sounding transient distortion. Soft Sine and Sinoid Fold are great for subtly inflating any input with added punch, detail, and harmonic enhancement without even boosting the drive – try using these settings on drums, then enable and disable the device to hear the difference and you might soon wonder how you ever survived without it. A drop-down menu below the waveshaping display provides access to six other circuits: Soft Sine, Medium Curve, Hard Curve, Sinoid Fold, Digital Clip, and Waveshaper. The default circuit selected is Analog Clip, which is perfect for emulating classic mixer gain artifacts. In the upper left, a Drive dial allows you to adjust the intensity of your selected saturation circuit for more extreme effects, crank it up – but you might then have to compensate with the Output and Dry/Wet controls at bottom right. r/Ableton's new Discord Contest Winners: Date/Contest NameĬlick here to see all the rack posts on /r/Ableton.Pic 1: Ableton Live's Saturator, default view. r/Ableton's Official Resource Thread - Updated for 2018, and not just for people learning.
