Overview

FabFilter Saturn 2's interface is divided into multiple sections:

Interactive multi-band display

The interactive display

lets you directly create and select frequency bands. At the same time, it's a real-

time frequency analyzer, visualizing the

outgoing signal and making it easy to decide where to set the band

crossover frequencies.

Band controls

The band controls

control the settings of the selected bands in the display. For each band, you can

separately adjust the distortion type, drive, feedback

settings, dynamics, tone, level and mix settings.

Modulation section

The modulation section at the bottom shows all modulation sources, visualizing the signal

flow and making

it easy to set up modulation and create new sources. FabFilter Saturn 2 offers XLFO

, Envelope generator

(EG), Envelope follower (EF), MIDI and XY controller or slider sources. See Modulation to get started.

Linear Phase

When Linear Phase mode is enabled, both multi-band crossover filtering and internal oversampling (High

Quality mode) is done using linear phase filtering. See Input/output

options.

High Quality

The High Quality button controls the oversampling of the internal distortion algorithms, offering

Good and

Superb modes. See Input/output options

Output options

On the far right of the bottom bar, you can bypass the entire plug-in and the output button gives access to

the Unrestricted Feedback, Channel Mode and input/output/mix controls. See Input/output options

Resize and Full Screen mode

Using the Resize button at the right of the bottom bar, you can choose a desired interface size. In addition,

using the Full Screen button at the right top corner, you can enter Full Screen mode, in which Saturn 2 fills

the whole screen. See Full Screen mode and resizing

MIDI learn

MIDI Learn lets you easily associate any MIDI controller with any plug-in parameter. See

Presets, undo, A/B, help

With the preset buttons, you can easily browse through the factory presets or save your own

settings so

you can re-use them in other songs. The Undo, Redo, A/B and Copy buttons at the top

of the plug-in

interface enable you to undo your changes and switch between different states of

the plug-in. Finally, the

Help menu provides access to help and version information. See
