The Klanghabitat Cassiopeia:plugin is a stereo tube saturation plugin designed to emulate the renowned hardware unit originally built for the API 500 series format, capturing the essence of analogue warmth and harmonic richness.
The Cassiopeia plugin is a faithful digital recreation of the original hardware unit, providing a powerful tool for adding analogue warmth and harmonic distortion to audio. It replicates the signature tube-driven saturation of the API 500 format unit, leveraging vacuum tubes to generate overtones and harmonics that enhance the richness and fullness of sound. The plugin meticulously emulates the characteristics of the original hardware, ensuring an authentic saturation effect ideal for bringing depth and vibrancy to both individual tracks and full mixes.
No licence or activation is required for this plugin. After purchasing, users can immediately download it and enjoy it permanently, with free access to all future updates. The straightforward installation process ensures that users can begin enhancing their audio with Cassiopeia without any hassle or complicated steps.
The Cassiopeia plugin supports all major DAWs, offering seamless integration with popular software such as Logic Pro, Ableton Live, Cubase, and Nuendo. For MacOS users, the plugin requires macOS 10.13 or higher, with 64-bit architecture and full compatibility with Apple Silicon. For Windows users, the plugin requires Windows 10 or higher, with 64-bit support. It comes in AAX, VST3, and AU formats, providing flexibility across various setups and workflows.
Cassiopeia provides comprehensive control over the saturation effect, with two primary controls: saturation and intensity. The saturation control spans from 0 to 100%, allowing users to gradually apply tube-like harmonic distortion for a more dynamic and warmer sound. The intensity control, also adjustable from 0 to 100%, enables fine-tuning of the effect’s strength, making it possible to push the saturation to extreme levels or keep it subtle depending on the desired result.
Output level control is set to +/- 12 dB, providing users with the ability to adjust the final output gain with precision, compensating for any level changes introduced by the saturation effect. The input trim is similarly adjustable within a +/- 12 dB range, offering additional control over the signal before it enters the saturation stage.
The plugin features a 4x oversampling setting, ensuring that the emulation delivers high-quality audio without distortion, even at higher saturation levels. The oversampling reduces aliasing artefacts, preserving the clarity and integrity of the audio.
Colour control adds another layer of tonal flexibility, enabling users to shape the harmonic character of the saturation. Whether aiming for a smoother, vintage sound or a more aggressive, edgy tone, this control offers a wide range of colouration to suit different musical genres and production needs.
Additionally, the auto gain feature compensates for any gain loss caused by the saturation process, maintaining consistent output levels without requiring manual adjustments.
The Cassiopeia plugin delivers powerful analogue-style saturation with precision control, ideal for professionals looking to inject vintage warmth and character into their digital productions. Whether used on individual tracks or for broad mix enhancement, Cassiopeia offers the versatility and authenticity of classic tube saturation, all within a modern, intuitive plugin interface.
