Saturator Pro | Hybrid Transient Shaper & Saturator

Every producer knows the frustration: you've crafted the perfect sound, but it lacks presence, punch or character. You reach for multiple plugins, stacking transient designers, saturators and analysers across your chain. Your workflow grinds to a halt as you toggle between windows, guess at settings and lose creative momentum. Saturator Pro eliminates this friction entirely, combining precision transient control with sophisticated waveshaping in a single, visually responsive Max for Live device that keeps you in the flow.

At its core, Saturator Pro employs a hybrid architecture powered by Ableton's proven DSP algorithms. The first stage shapes your transients with surgical precision, boost attack for punch, soften peaks for smoothness, or find that perfect balance in between. This transient-shaped signal then flows into a professional grade waveshaper offering six distinct saturation curves, from transparent analogue warmth to aggressive digital clipping and experimental wavefolding. Real time visual feedback reveals exactly how your signal transforms, eliminating guesswork whilst the integrated dry/wet crossfade lets you dial in perfect parallel processing without routing complexity.

Saturator Pro delivers studio-grade processing efficiency that professional producers demand. The optional oversampling mode ensures pristine high-frequency response even with extreme drive settings, whilst intelligent CPU optimisation allows multiple instances without session slowdown. Whether you're adding subtle harmonics to vocals, designing aggressive bass tones or exploring experimental sound design territories, you're working with a device built on the same Max DSP foundation that powers Ableton's own stock effects. This isn't another third-party plugin promising the world, it's boutique tool design meeting proven technical architecture for results you can trust on client work and release-ready productions.

Professional Max for Live Design

All devices built with optimised CPU performance, bulletproof stability, and intuitive interfaces tested by working producers for reliable session performance.

Seamless Ableton Integration

Every device integrates natively into Ableton Live with full automation support, preset management, and zero plugin-bridging latency for frictionless workflow.

Clear Commercial Licensing

All Max for Live devices supplied with straightforward commercial licenses. Use in your productions with complete confidence.

Why This Matters

Every Max for Live device we make follows one principle:

Remove friction, don't add features.

This tool does works the way Ableton
would have done it if they'd thought of it.

No flashy graphics.
No subscription.
Just a problem solved.

Professional Hybrid Processing with Real-Time Visual Intelligence

Saturator Pro integrates seamlessly into your Ableton Live workflow as a native Max for Live device, responding instantly to automation, saving with your projects and recalling settings flawlessly across sessions. Built on Ableton's proven DSP algorithms, it delivers the reliability and sonic quality you'd expect from stock devices with the specialised control of a boutique tool.

Dual-Stage Architecture: Transient Control Meets Waveshaping Saturation

Saturator Pro combines precision transient design with sophisticated waveshaping in a single processing chain. Shape your attack and sustain characteristics before driving them through six distinct saturation curves—from transparent analogue clip to aggressive wavefolding, each delivering unique harmonic content and dynamic response that transforms lifeless sounds into productions with presence and character.

Real-Time Visual Feedback Eliminates Guesswork

The integrated visual transfer function display reveals exactly how Saturator Pro shapes your signal in real time, showing the precise waveshaping curve as you adjust drive and mode settings. This visual intelligence transforms sound design from guesswork into informed creative decisions, letting you dial in perfect harmonic content whilst maintaining complete awareness of your signal path and processing intensity.

Studio Grade Processing Built on Proven Max DSP Foundation

Saturator Pro is built on the same Ableton DSP algorithms that power Live's professional effects, ensuring studio grade sonic quality and rock solid stability for client work and release ready productions. Optional oversampling maintains pristine high-frequency response even with extreme settings, whilst intelligent optimisation delivers efficient CPU performance that scales across multiple instances without compromising your session.

Six Distinct Saturation Curves for Limitless Sonic Possibilities

Saturator Pro offers six carefully crafted waveshaping curves, each delivering distinct harmonic character and dynamic response. Analogue Clip provides transparent warmth reminiscent of tape and tube saturation. Soft Sine, Medium Curve and Hard Curve offer progressive degrees of harmonic content—perfect for everything from subtle thickening to aggressive distortion. Digital Clip delivers modern hard-clipping aggression for electronic music production, whilst Sinoid Fold opens experimental sound design territories with its unique wavefolding character.

The real-time visual display reveals each curve's transfer function, showing precisely how your signal transforms as you push the drive. This visual feedback empowers confident sonic decisions—you'll know exactly why Soft Sine sweetens vocals whilst Hard Curve transforms bass into controlled aggression. Switch between curves instantly during creative exploration, discovering new sonic territories without interrupting your flow or losing perspective on your processing intensity.
