Klanghabitat Subtle Tube Saturation bundle

The Klanghabitat Subtle Tube Saturation bundle combines the Cassiopeia and Lyra:mb plugins, delivering professional analogue-style warmth and harmonic depth in AAX, VST3 and AU formats for macOS 10.13+ (Apple Silicon native) and Windows 10 (64-bit).

Cassiopeia: Stereo Tube Saturation

Cassiopeia recreates the sound of its original 500-series hardware, adding rich stereo tube saturation with precise control. Saturation and intensity run independently from 0–100%, while colour shaping adjusts harmonic tone from smooth to aggressive. Input and output trims of ±12 dB allow accurate gain staging, with auto gain maintaining consistent levels during processing. 4x oversampling eliminates aliasing, ensuring clarity even at higher saturation settings.

Lyra:mb: Multiband Analogue Saturation

Lyra:mb introduces four fully customisable frequency bands, each processed through its unique headroom-limiting circuit for smooth, musical saturation. Unlike designs that overload tubes with gain, Lyra:mb controls voltage headroom for a wide sweet spot free from harsh distortion. Up to 16x oversampling preserves detail, while the integrated spectrum analyser provides accurate real-time feedback. The result is precise multiband control with authentic analogue character, suitable for subtle enhancement or broader tonal shaping.

Workflow and Compatibility

Both plugins install without dongles or online activation and include free lifetime updates. They run seamlessly in Logic Pro, Ableton Live, Cubase, Nuendo and all major DAWs, making them versatile tools for mixing and mastering across platforms.
