Rockheyday has introduced a hybrid saturation processor for Windows (VST3) which blends asymmetric tube warmth with cubic tape-style harmonics. Featuring high-fidelity oversampling and a precision DC blocker, Tintar-S aims to provide a lush, analog “tint” to any digital source.
Tintar-S features
- Engine: High-fidelity Saturation with selectable 2x, 4x, and 8x Oversampling.
- Saturation Model: Hybrid Asymmetric and Cubic harmonic generation.
- Drive: High-precision input gain for driving the saturation circuit.
- Density: Frequency-dependent harmonic intensity control (0-100%).
- Stereo Width: Mid/Side based width adjustment with energy compensation.
- Mix: 0–100% parallel blend (dry/wet) with sample-accurate smoothing.
- Output: -12 to +12 dB clean make-up gain.
- Protection: Integrated 20Hz DC-Blocker to ensure signal stability and headroom.
- Latency Sync: Phase-aligned, latency-matched dry path for parallel processing.
- Analyzer: Dual-Layer Input/Output FFT display for real-time harmonic monitoring.
- FFT Engine: 4096 / 8192-point resolution with Blackman windowing.
- Response Model: Internal 4.5 dB tilt and 350 ms ballistic decay.
- Metering: Dual-layer LR Peak meters (body = input level, floating peak = output level).
- Precision: 32-bit floating-point processing.
- Sample Rates: 44.1 – 96 kHz (Standalone), Host-Dependent in VST3.
The standalone version also comes with drag-and-drop audio playback with loop functionality and WAV export (16-bit/24-bit).
Tintar-S is available to purchase for $7.99 USD.
