URS has just released URS Saturation v2.0. The two mono-head algorithms now include analog tape saturation, which adds a smoothing effect to high-frequency transients through nonlinear saturation... The transformer core saturation algorithm introduces a nonlinear transformer core saturation based on classic mixing consoles, tape recorders, and outboard gear. Two new classic preamp emulations have been added in this version: the Cassette (A-grade high-fidelity microphone preamp) and the 1951 (A-grade high-fidelity microphone preamp).
Features of Saturation v2.0:
- 6 classic preamp algorithms
- 2 analog tape saturation algorithms
- Transformer core saturation algorithm
- Ordered even and odd harmonics
- Soft clipping
- 158 factory presets
URS Saturation v2.0 is now available as a VST for Windows and as VST, AU, and RTAS for Mac OS X, priced at $199.99 each. All registered users of Saturation v1.0 can upgrade to version 2.0 for free.
