🎚️ What’s Inside

AnalogX Trotters Solid State Saturation Emulations bring a high-end, discrete solid-state saturation circuit into the Genesis ecosystem. Designed for buses, stems, and individual tracks, these emulations excel at adding harmonic excitement, tightening transients, and increasing perceived loudness without destroying clarity.

Everything in this pack is captured in High Quality modelling tier, focusing on drive behaviour, harmonic growth, and dynamic interaction rather than static distortion.

🧬 A Brief History

Modern solid-state saturation circuits were developed as a response to the unpredictability of vintage tube and tape designs. The goal was simple: achieve musical saturation and density, but with precision, repeatability, and control.

The circuit this pack pays homage to became popular in contemporary studios for its ability to:
• Add harmonic richness without low-end collapse
• Enhance transients rather than blur them
• Remain stable at high drive levels
• Scale cleanly from subtle colour to bold saturation

It quickly found its way onto mix buses, drum buses, synth groups, and mastering chains where traditional saturation tools were either too soft or too destructive.

These emulations capture that exact philosophy.

💡 Why It Stands Out

• True solid-state saturation behaviour
• No tube bloom, no tape smear
• Tight low end even under heavy drive
• Smooth, controlled high-frequency harmonics
• Perfect for modern mixes that need density without mud

This is saturation you can push — and still trust.

⚙️ Included Emulations (HQ)

All emulations are High Quality and captured at musically meaningful drive points, with different harmonic safety and smoothing characteristics.

Included emulations:

Solid State Drive – Low
Solid State Drive – Medium
Solid State Drive – High

Solid State Drive – Low Safe
Solid State Drive – Medium Safe
Solid State Drive – High Safe

Solid State Drive – Medium Hi Smooth
Solid State Drive – High Low Safe Smooth
Solid State Drive – Medium Low Safe High Smooth

Solid State Mix Bus – Low Drive / Low Safe / High Smooth

🎛️ How to Use It

• Mix Bus: Low Drive or Mix Bus profile for density and cohesion
• Drum Bus: Medium or High Drive for punch and excitement
• Synths & Guitars: Safe profiles retain tone while adding edge
• Mastering: Low Drive + Smooth variants add size without harshness

This pack rewards subtlety — but it absolutely holds together when pushed.
