User Manual

Introducing Slider mode and a range setting for XY controllers. In Slider mode, the XY controller

only works in vertical direction, taking up much less space. The range setting toggles between

bipolar (-1 to 1) and unipolar (0 to 1) behavior.

Increased the number of XY controllers/sliders to 6.

Modulation sources can now be renamed to make their use easier to understand.

The XLFO Balance and Frequency Offset parameters are now modulation targets.

XLFO MIDI triggering now offers a new Legato mode.

The EG Threshold parameters are now modulation targets. In addition, the incoming signal level is

displayed in a meter around the Threshold knob, and it's now possible to audition the external side

chain input.

The EGs now have an Range setting, toggling between Normal (a range between 0 and 1) and

Neutral Sustain (a range around the Sustain level, where EG outputs 0 when it's in the sustain

stage).

Introducing full resizing and Full Screen mode.

Other key features

Of course, all the features that make Saturn unique are still there: multi-band distortion processing (up

to 6 bands), a large variety of different distortion styles, from subtle saturation to heavy guitar amps and

bit crushing, per-band drive, mix, feedback, dynamics, tone and level control, plus tons of modulation

options with XLFOs, Envelope Followers, Envelope Generators, MIDI Sources and XY Controllers.
