Manga Saturation

Distort to Your Heart’s Content!!!!!

Manga Saturation is a saturation plug-in designed to add energy, density, and definition to your sound. Simply click the character or speech bubble and turn it up to get started. The Input and Output controls let you adjust how hard your source hits the saturation stage and set the final output level. From a subtle push to aggressive distortion and foldback-style textures, Manga Saturation is designed to build intensity progressively.

The Drive control ranges from 0 to 100%. As you turn it up, the saturation becomes progressively deeper. Once Drive passes approximately 72%, more aggressive foldback components are introduced.

Whether you simply want to add a little extra density or completely reshape a sound, the entire range can be controlled progressively with a single knob.

Input provides ±24 dB of control over the level entering the saturation stage, while Output provides ±24 dB of control over the processed signal. By matching the output level to the bypassed signal, you can judge changes in texture and character rather than being influenced by differences in volume.

The title and speech-bubble text can be switched between Japanese and English. On first launch, the language is selected automatically based on your system language, and your preference is saved for future sessions.
