Does Drambo have a saturation module ?

Antos3345

I am trying to add some “dirt” and power to make it sound more like an analog synth or mixer. I would normally look for a saturation module , some distortion and compression, , but I can’t find one in Drambo. Am I blind or is it called something else? Perhaps Roughrider is enough as an AUv3?

You want the Shaper module.
The Graphic shaper is also fun to mess with.

Under Processors search for Shaper or Graphic Shaper

Thanks you all. Also, Is there maybe a better eq than the 3 band eq that’s listed?

If you want more saturation, maybe try ChowDSP's free BYOD (bring your own distortion) module. If not that, Saturn 2 is an amazing sounding choice but costs a fair bit.

Drambo does not have a better EQ module currently, I'd look at AUv3s for that.

Thanks, I may get those if it really makes the sound come alive. I want grunge and edge. The sound is sometimes just too clean and sterile.

Just on the EQ front, and the caveat is that I’ve not tried these in Drambo (I’ve barely used it), if you just want to test a couple out take a look at both the Neon Silicon EQs and Audiothing’s Blindfold EQ. All three are free, so no huge investment.

I'd check out the 'Shaper' module in Drambo, it's got a very nice clip algorithm and a few nice saturators as well...

As for EQ, when running Drambo under iOS17/iPadOS17 the Apple AUv3's can be used and they include a nice multi-band EQ with spectrum analyzer etc.

I really love the Drambo saturation module and Ryo Togawa and Neon Silicon both have free AUv3 EQ’s.

AUv3s I'd recommend are...

-TB Equalizer (only $10)
-Blindfold EQ (free last time I checked)

This is really useful… to know that you can get into Drambo and still need to buy AUv3’s. I have been afraid to joint the Drambo club and have no further excuses.

BYOD is a free distortion tool. All the ChowDSP apps are free and they are world class inventions based on current science!

BYOD has more modules via IAPs, and I plan to get those soon. Not only to support the dev, but also to have more sonic toys to muck about with.

Anyone try Bleasse saturator or. Saffron?
I’m looking for a simple and effective saturation device. The FabFilter I’m sure is great, but a bit complex for me.

Explore BYOD before spending money. It is too-notch and powerful.

The ChowMultiTool is also quite handy to have around, the Waveshaper can saturate quite nicely.

Sometimes i run drambo synth modules thru drambos analog filter module. The tone knob on there adds drive or saturation to the signal. I personally love its sound

Yep👍🏽

As mentioned BYOD and Saturn2 are thinking of saturation on iOS. The shaper modules in Drambo are great though. I’d also put Mela 4 up there. Handful of different distortion modes and all are very good.

Yeah, I tried the Shaper module and it’s fine for me.
Thanks
