Saturation Knob Free For All

By

19 December 2014

Hot on the heels of Native Instruments’ Replika give away (link), Softube has offered up its popular Saturation Knob as a free plugin, previously only available via Avid or PreSonus.

The Saturation Knob is a completely free (no-strings attached or sign ups), one-knob modeled output distortion, with three distortion styles, modes, Keep High, Neutral or Keep Low. It’s available as AAX, RTAS, VST2, VST and AU.

This free plugin isn’t for a limited time, this baby is free for life. Softube announced the news this morning via its blog, saying;

“As of today, Softube’s Saturation Knob is available as a free download. It can be used in any VST, Audio Units or AAX host—and also as a Rack Extension in Propellerheads Reason—on both Mac and Windows platforms. You’re welcome.

The Saturation Knob has previously been available exclusively for Presonus Studio One and Pro Tools users, but today we make it available for users of other DAWs as well. For VST, AAX and Audio Units, Saturation Knob is part of the installer package, which includes all Softube plug-ins.

No iLok is required for using the Saturation Knob. For any of the other Softube plug-ins in the installer package, iLok owners can download 20 day demonstration licenses.”

For those who use Propellerhead Reason, you can download the plugin via the PH store. For the rest of us, as the quote says, you’ll need to download the Softube installer and select the Saturation Knob from there. It’s worth noting that the installer is a 640MB download, which is quite hefty for what should be a small-ish plugin. However, distributing software via large installers that pack numerous programs is fairly commonplace these days.

For those who had purchased the plugin in the last month, Softube is offering vouchers worth EU€12/ US$15 for future Softube Rack Extension purchases. Just email a copy of your receipt to support@softube.com.
