The vacuum tube saturation that makes your mix transparent.
a subtle tube saturator which lets you dial in the exact amount of tube sound you need.
the input lets you drive cassiopeia:rack with +/- 12 dB.
The highpass sits in the wet path post the saturation stage. It lets roll of the low end with 6 dB/octave ranging from 15 Hz to 100 Hz.
Drives the vacuum tubes past their designed operating range. The further you turn it, the more overtones the tubes generate — and because tubes clip softly, it stays musical instead of harsh.
Blends the saturated signal against the untouched original. Crank the saturation all the way, then decide how much of it actually reaches the mix.
The lowpass sits in the wet path post the saturation stage. It lets roll of the high end with 6 dB/octave ranging from 24 kHz to 5 kHz.
Sets the level going into whatever comes next in the chain, so you can drive the tubes hard without wrecking your gain staging. The control ranges +/- 12 dB in gain.
Put the Cassiopeia on the master bus and it puts a smile on your face.

Why tubes at all? Running a vacuum tube outside its specification is not a defect — it is the point.
The tube adds harmonics that were never in the source, and it does so gradually rather than at a hard threshold.
That is what makes saturation read as weight instead of distortion.
Same take, same level. The only differnece is the tube.

„I’ve always loved the sound of tubes, but in mastering I often find traditional tube saturation too dominant across a full mix. The Cassiopeia solves that beautifully. I can add warmth, depth and harmonic character with a highly effective level of control, without sacrificing the precision and impact I need for modern dance music mastering.“

The Cassiopeia has quickly become a go to on my stereo bus, bringing depth, punch and a really musical sense of excitement in a very balanced and even way. I also really love it on parallel drum and guitar buses.

„The fastest shortcut to rich and lush drum-compression. It tames your frequencies if you want it to and if you unleashed it, they will roar.“

„I fell in love with the unit and plugins right away. It does everything from being a smooth transient shaper to a tasteful colored saturation. I find new use for it in every session, it’s been on drums, bass, acoustic guitars and keys so far.“
