Roar

Saturation
Ableton

Roar is a saturation and distortion device for Live 12 that offers an experimental approach to gain staging through flexible routing modes and stackable shaper curves. It features three processing stages with multiple routing architectures, comprehensive modulation sources, and a distinctive feedback loop that can create ringing textures and delay-like effects. With twelve shaper types, eight filter types, and mid-side, multiband, and feedback processing options, Roar produces sounds unlike other instruments or effects currently available in Live.

Key Features

  • Six routing modes: Single, Serial, Parallel, Multi Band, Mid Side, and Feedback
  • Twelve Shaper Types with independent Shaper Amount, Shaper Bias, and Filter Frequency controls per gain stage
  • Eight Filter Types selectable per gain stage
  • Multi Band mode splits frequency spectrum into three bands (Low, Mid, High) with two Crossover Filters
  • Four modulation sources: LFO 1, LFO 2, Envelope Follower, and Noise with Modulation Matrix
  • Five feedback modes: Time, Synced, Triplet, Dotted, and Note
  • Envelope Follower with Attack, Release, Threshold, Gain, Frequency, and Width controls
  • Color Compensation toggle for tone control before and after shaper stage
