FabFilter’s multiband distortion plugin, Saturn (10/10,CM 179), has been a go-to for many producers since 2012, and with version 2, the Dutch software masters have improved it in just about every area. First, the interface has seen a complete overhaul that’s particularly transformative with regard to modulation, which is now fully visualised. Then there are 12 new distortion types (for 28 in total), 32x oversampling, variable crossovers, a transient detection mode for the envelope follower and more.
Saturn 2 brings radical changes to the GUI, including an eye-catching modulator
Saturn 2 is out now, priced £114.
