User Manual

Quick start

The installer will copy the FabFilter Saturn 2 plug-in into the common VST, VST 3, AU (macOS only) and

Pro Tools plug-in folders on your computer. On macOS, the global plug-in folders in /Library/Audio/Plug-

Ins are used.

In most cases, your host will then recognize the plugin automatically. However, if the instructions below

do not work, see Manual

installation instead.

Pro Tools

Choose an empty insert slot on one of your audio tracks, instrument tracks or buses and select

FabFilter Saturn 2 from the pop-up menu in the Harmonic section.

Studio One

Click the '+' button next to the Inserts tab of an audio track, instrument track or bus and select

'FabFilter Saturn 2' from the drop-down menu.

Logic Pro

Choose an empty insert slot on one of your audio tracks, instrument tracks or buses and select

FabFilter Saturn 2 from the pop-up menu. You will find FabFilter Saturn 2 in the Audio Units >

FabFilter section (named FF Saturn 2).

Ableton Live

In Session view, select the track you would like to place FabFilter Saturn 2 on, for example by

clicking the track name. At the left top of Ableton Live's interface, click on the Plug-in Device

Browser icon (third icon from the top). From the plug-ins list, double-click FabFilter/FabFilter

Saturn 2, or drag it onto the track.

Cubase

Choose an empty insert slot, for example in the Mixer, and select FabFilter Saturn 2 from the menu

that appears. To use the MIDI features in Saturn 2, create a new MIDI track and set its output to

the Saturn 2 instance you have just created. (The VST 3 version of Saturn 2 can be found in the

Distortion section.)

Use the Presets button at the top of the plug-in interface to try different settings from the many factory

presets that are bundled with FabFilter Saturn 2. Have fun!
