SOL-7 Saturation EQ is now in beta.
SOL-7 is an additive Saturation EQ. It is not designed for subtractive EQ cuts.
It looks like an EQ, but it's a saturator: you use EQ-style nodes to place and shape harmonic colour across the spectrum. No crossovers, no band-splitting workflow — just saturation where you want it.
SOL-7 is not a preset-heavy plugin where you browse through hundreds of sounds.
It is designed as a hands-on saturation tool: place nodes, shape the harmonic colour, and build your own tone.
Main features:
• EQ-style node workflow for saturation
• Additive saturation only — no subtractive EQ cuts
• No crossovers
• Per-node control for frequency, Q, drive, sat gain, texture, transient, shape, slew, trans and mix
• M/S support
• Auto Gain
• Oversampling up to 4x for the saturation path
• Spectrum display with optional rainbow mode
• A/B, undo/redo and resizable UI
I made a short demo video showing a few starting points:
Open Master
Velvet Master
Drum Bus
Piano Presence
The video is about 3 minutes long, but the first section should already give a good idea of what SOL-7 does.
Demo video:
Windows VST3 and Mac AU/VST3 builds are available.
If you are interested in testing SOL-7, please reply here or send me a PM.
Any feedback about sound, workflow, UI or compatibility would be very helpful.
Thanks,
