This first step for us into the analog modeling world is the tip of the iceberg as far as we're concerned.
The beauty of this technology is that the sound is defined by the circuit schematic itself, no more or less. The manual shows the actual circuit used in Tube Saturator, with all the values of the components (resistors, capacitors, etc.)
We are open to feedback about the sound of the plug-in and ideas for future products, since basically any circuit schematic can be specified in this circuit simulation system. I was personally quite pleased (and glad to see others are too) with some of the ways that Tube Saturator enhanced the sound of both tracks and whole mixes on our development systems. Different sonic results can be achieved even just by tweaking a resistor value here or there in the schematic, and as processor speeds continue to get faster we can develop more sophisticated products. |
Wait, wait, wait. You mean to say you have the ability to change the value of a resistor or capacitor in your program to see what it sounds like?
Then why aren't you releasing this as a plugin and letting us change the values of the resisters and the capicitors? You could even use different circuits as templates.
What am I not getting about this idea?
