Quad Saturator is a four-band saturation effect that lets you dial in warmth, grit, or full-on distortion with surgical precision. Split your audio into four frequency bands using the band-splitting sliders, then apply one of five saturation algorithms to each band independently. Adjust drive, tone, and output level per band, and use the bleed control to blend bands smoothly. Envelope followers with adjustable attack and release add dynamic movement, so the saturation responds to your playing or programming. A global output section blends dry and wet signals for final control. Whether you’re adding subtle texture to a vocal, thickening drums, or pushing a synth into aggressive territory, Quad Saturator gives you flexible, multiband control. It suits producers who want detailed tonal shaping without a complex setup, across genres from pop to electronic and rock.
