Sapphire Drive

Richness Meets Clarity

Sapphire Drive is a transparent saturation plugin that enhances your audio tracks instantly. Simply apply it to any track, select a saturation type, adjust the amount, and experience an immediate improvement in sound quality.

Instant Results, Every Time

With just six parameters and four saturation types, Sapphire Drive is designed for simplicity and effectiveness. Load it onto a channel, and it effortlessly adds warmth, presence, or weight based on your selection. There's no need for overthinking; it just works.

Enjoy zero latency at 1× oversampling and ultra-low CPU usage. Whether applied to individual tracks, buses, or the master channel, you can stack multiple instances without hesitation.

Four Saturation Types

• Bloom: Shimmering upper-mid sparkle that adds presence, air, and brilliance.
• Tape I: Classic tape warmth with gentle roll-off, smooth transients, and analog glue.
• Tape II: A more aggressive tape sound with denser mids, grit, and vintage weight.
• Thick: Raw low-mid mass that delivers body, density, and powerful low-end.

From airy vocals to heavy bass, Sapphire Drive provides the right character with minimal effort.

Tone Control That Lives Inside the Circuit

The Tone control in Sapphire Drive is integrated within the circuit, shaping the harmonic character as the signal is driven. Increase the setting to excite more overtones or reduce it for a warmer, darker tone. This organic tonal shift is a seamless part of the saturation process.

Latency

When oversampling is disabled, latency is 0 ms. With oversampling enabled, minimum phase mode latency is approximately 0.1 ms, while linear phase mode latency ranges from 0.7 ms to 1 ms depending on the oversampling factor.
