So there`s the whole question

There's declippers,but you wont find anything that can actually remove from material that is rich in harmonics.the best you can do if the harmonics were added by something like a waveshaper is to use the inverted curve to scale down the harmonics,but if the wave itself has been shaped at all by the first transfer curve,you wont get the "desaturated"signal back.you'll just have the same sound but with an increased dynamic range

ok, thanks!

Maybe try transpire

Look into what certain FFT based editors can do. RX or maybe Spectral layers.

Not easy but its doable if you put in some work.

This, RX and other suspects let you select harmonics automatically which you can then alter in volume (and apply fades if needed) or you can select them manually.

what are you trying to achieve?

anti_phase · Post by **anti_phase** » Sat Sep 19, 2020 7:56 pm

sound with less harmonics.

just tried Izotope Rx, seems what I need! thanks

A low pass filter, lol.

A LPF wouldn't tuned to the harmonics.

Not really sure, but maybe this could also be an option?

tracking EQ LPF then

desaturating something like a piano vs desaturating something like a sinewave is not the same and i'd approach it differently.
i.e. for a "clipped" saturation of a piano i'd go with RX declipper.

for desaturating a sine wave i'd use a filter..

anti_phase · Post by **anti_phase** » Sun Sep 20, 2020 2:06 pm

in that case I had to specify that I wanted to desaturate complex signals and not sinewavs

Are there any Desaturator vst`s that remove as much harmonic content from the sound as needed?
