2B Played Music releases Saturium - Dual Harmonic Engine Plugin (VST3/AU)

Today, 2B Played Music announced the release of Saturium, a dual-engine harmonic saturation plugin that merges analog warmth with digital precision - giving producers and mastering engineers total control over tone, depth, and harmonic energy. Unlike conventional saturation tools, Saturium is built around two distinct harmonic engines working in parallel: Tube and Flux. The Tube engine delivers smooth, analog-style compression and warmth, while the Flux engine reacts faster and adds a modern, transient-driven edge. Together, they form a new kind of harmonic design that balances musical character with absolute control. They say: Saturium isn't about loudness — it's about tone integrity. It enhances harmonic richness and perceived depth while keeping dynamics intact. At its core, Saturium was designed for sculpting harmonic character with precision. It reproduces the natural compression and warmth of analog saturation without masking clarity or transients. Use it as a subtle enhancer on a vocal or master bus, or as a powerful harmonic driver that adds organic density across an entire mix. The Drive and Bias controls define how harmonics are distributed and shaped, while the Focus selector targets low, mid, or high-frequency saturation. Punish mode increases drive density for extra energy without losing tonal balance. For stereo and spatial control, Saturium offers dedicated Mid, Side, and Stereo modes, making it possible to apply coloration exactly where it's needed — tighten the center, widen the sides, or process both channels evenly for a cohesive sound. The built-in Auto Gain and Limiter systems maintain level consistency, so you can push the drive freely without clipping or volume jumps. To ensure maximum fidelity, oversampling can be set to 2x, 4x, or 8x, guaranteeing clean, artifact-free results. Every control in Saturium responds smoothly and musically, giving engineers precise, repeatable shaping during both mixing and mastering sessions.
