Audio effects node
Saturator
Three saturation stages, each with its own curve (tube, tape, diode, fold, rectify, crush) and amount. Routing wires them serial, parallel, mid-side, 3-band or feedback. It runs at 8x with anti-aliased curves and ships with 8 presets.

What it does
Saturator is an audio effect: it changes the sound that flows through it. It takes audio in and gives audio out.
Try it
Use 3-band routing: gentle tape on the lows, fold on the highs.
