Drawmer 1976 Three Band Saturator

Saturation That Sings

From the Swedish Masters of Distortion comes your new favourite analog mojo box - in the box. A three-band saturation and width processor with the utmost analog quality for bigger, more impactful mixes. Softube - the makers of Tape, Harmonics, Overstayer M-A-S, Dirty Tape, and Saturation Knob - have once again brought their analog modeling expertise to Drawmer's classic hardware to give users the first and only Drawmer 1976 plug-in fully licensed and enthusiastically endorsed by Drawmer.

The Drawmer 1976 Three Band Saturator authentically captures the coveted sound and features of the original with three bands of saturation and width to target frequency areas of percussion, bass, synths, vocals, and full mixes.

Drawmer 1976 Three Band Saturator imbues warmth, punch, excitement, and 3D immersive qualities to the sound of stereo sources while omitting the broad-brush distortion that single-band saturation can introduce. Easy as one, two, three.

Supported Host Software (DAW)  

Any 64-bit VST, VST3, AU, or AAX (Pro Tools 11.0.2 or higher) compatible host application should work. However, due to plug-in host differences between DAWs—and our rigorous standards—Softube only officially test their plug-ins and instruments in the most recent versions of Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Cubase, Ableton Live, Studio One, and Reaper. Softube plug-ins are not tested regularly in non-listed systems. They will likely work if the system requirements are met. However, the manufacturer cannot guarantee a solution for issues in unsupported systems. 
  
Softube strongly recommend using VST3, as some of their plug-ins have features that are not present in the older VST format. Supported sample rates: 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4, and 192 kHz, in both mono and stereo. The most recent maintenance release of your DAW application is recommended. AAX DSP is not currently in active development. TDM/VENUE/RTAS are no longer supported. See Legacy Installers.

Important Note: Make sure that you always use the latest iLok License Manager. It is not included in the Softube installer but can be downloaded from www.ilok.com​
