Guitarists! Meet SATURN!?!
Guitarists! Meet SATURN!?!
One of the plugs I bought on sale was Saturn. Not sure why really, I usually work in Rock but I'm open to new ways of adding character to tracks.
So the first thing I tried Saturn on was, of course, a guitar track.
I have a nice clean track with my Stagg telecaster style guitar just doing some sustained strumming, and tried some of the presets from the "amplifier" sub-category. There are several with "boutique" in the preset name and wow was I surprised. This is the tone I've been trying to get out of Amplitube and Jamup, but couldn't get it warm like the older amps I used to have. Well this was the smoothest tube-like overdrive I've ever been able to get without any tweaking.
Adding a very short convolution reverb (30-70ms) really makes it sound like its an amp in the room with you.
There is so much you can do with this plug-in, I doubt I'll ever get to try everything out as deeply as I'd like, but I thought some of you might be able to get a better classic overdrive with Saturn... and more.
Now I need to spend some time with "Timeless 2".

Re: Guitarists! Meet SATURN!?!
Yep great plug although I haven't really tried much guitar stuff through it (also like the rock thing ) but will do now
What I like about it is you can EQ an Eq sort of thing

Yeah, I'm really excited about trying all these new plug-ins too.

Re: Guitarists! Meet SATURN!?!
I'm having a blast running my guitar through Saturn too. It has some great sounding amp emulations for sure...along with very flexible parameter modifications.

Boy these FabFilter products are deep.
I do have one complaint though. I'm having some difficulty selecting some controls like the outer ring of some dual knobs. The rings are just too small to select easily.

I hear ya on this one. To get around this I set my Axiom keyboard ti control these small knobs via CC control. Works great.martygras wrote:Boy these FabFilter products are deep.

Glad your enjoying your new plugins. Cheers.
Re: Guitarists! Meet SATURN!?!
what other inapp stuff improves or enhance guitar sounds?
Re: Guitarists! Meet SATURN!?!
SATURN and TImeless2 are awesome for guitarist.
I'd like to use saturn plug-in instead of jam up or amplitube.
Big problem is how to mange Saturn/Auria by stomp.
Can ik's blue board control them ?

Re: Guitarists! Meet SATURN!?!
I think Anthony has the answer above, mapping controls to a device, whether it be a keyboard and/or a foot pedal like the Behringer FC-blahblah.kuro-jp wrote:SATURN and TImeless2 are awesome for guitarist.

In addition to getting better over-driven sounds, I think I'm getting better clean sounds now too. It might be having access to some great compression tools. Between Saturn and Timeless 2, you could probably get 90% of your tones from these guys. Especially for emulating older amp types and delays.

Re: Guitarists! Meet SATURN!?!
I wish I read this a week ago when they had the 50% sale on the inapp stuff
Any chance for another future 50% sale in the future ?

We'll do one next year, probably around the same time.

I don't think I would have given Saturn a try if it hadn't been for the sale. Not sure why I bought it, but am glad I did.

Re: Guitarists! Meet SATURN!?!
Likewise. I have only scratched it's surface. I also saw how too many bands quickly bring the iPad air to its knees. Doesn't matter if it sounds great, track freezing will be worth it.
Re: Guitarists! Meet SATURN!?!
Bought Saturn at full price after reading this post. Wow, I thought thm overloud was good... Don't know if I should get timeless 2 ..what other guitar related in app is worth checking out?
Re: Guitarists! Meet SATURN!?!
