VOICE 01
Lustre
Bright / odd core
Open, immediate and predominantly odd. Lustre adds a polished upper-harmonic edge with deliberately controlled foldback.
- Firm odd-harmonic structure
- Airy high-band presence
- Fast, articulate peak contour
Multi-model saturation
Two kinds of heat.
One continuous gesture.
Amanita Saturator turns one macro into a deliberate harmonic voice. Choose Lustre for an electric odd core or Ember for warm asymmetry, then move smoothly from untouched detail to full character.

Lustre Bright / odd core
Two authored voices
Not presets.
Different instruments.
Lustre and Ember share one control surface, oversampled path and timing contract. Their nonlinear cores, contours and harmonic priorities remain deliberately different.
Full-range character
Every millimetre
does something.
There is no hidden “interesting zone” at the end of the knob. Harmonic colour grows across the whole 0–100% travel, while the endpoint remains the fullest expression of the selected voice.
Saturation
The site preview changes light and harmonic balance only. It does not process audio in your browser.
One coherent path
Colour first.
Control everywhere.
Filters shape what enters the nonlinear core. Makeup lives on the wet branch. Mix returns a latency-compensated dry signal without changing the character you built.

Always-on quality path
The nonlinear engine stays at constant 16× oversampling instead of changing quality with the control position. Filter state, model transitions and dry/wet alignment are designed to stay calm under automation.

Everything you need.
Nothing to hunt for.
Model
Crossfade between two complete harmonic identities.
Saturation
One continuous macro for the full character range.
Input
Set how strongly the source meets the nonlinear core.
Low Cut
Whole-Hz display with explicit Off, 6, 12 and 24 dB/oct.
High Cut
Trim the source before distortion without hiding the slope.
Makeup
Gain only the processed branch for honest level matching.
Mix
Blend against a latency-compensated dry path.

The release package comes next.
Amanita Saturator v0.5.19 currently exists as an internal macOS engineering build under validation. Public, signed installers and final system requirements will be published here when the first release is ready.
