Saturation

Magneto II

Steinberg

Magneto II is a saturation plugin that simulates the saturation and compression characteristics of analog tape machines. It models tape behavior with frequency-selective processing, allowing you to dial in vintage tape warmth and harmonic coloration across a specific frequency range.

Key Features

01Saturation control with overtone generation
02Dual Mode simulating two machines
03Frequency Range Low/High parameters for selective tape effect
04Solo function for frequency range monitoring
05HF-Adjust filter for high frequency content control

Things to Try

  • 01Set Low frequency to 200-300 Hz to avoid saturation of lower frequencies
  • 02Set High parameter below 10 kHz to prevent saturation of very high frequencies
  • 03Use Solo mode to audition the frequency range and tape simulation effect before committing
  • 04Enable Dual Mode to simulate the use of two tape machines for thicker saturation
