Tintar-S gives Rockheyday a $19.99 saturation plug-in built around two harmonic flavors. Its processing joins asymmetric tube color with cubic tape-style behavior, letting tracks move from mild weight to harsher edge without locking users into one character.
Under the hood, selectable 2x, 4x, or 8x oversampling backs the saturation engine. Drive pushes signal into processing, while Density changes harmonic strength based on level. Stereo shaping uses Mid/Side control with energy compensation, and the parallel blend keeps dry audio phase-matched.
Elsewhere, Auto Gain handles level correction, output spans -24 to +24 dB, and a 20 Hz blocker removes DC buildup. The analyzer switches between 4096-point and 8192-point FFT views, while LR meters show input body and output peaks.
Interface sizing comes in Standard or Compact layouts. Presets support XML loading and saving, and host rates from 44.1 kHz through 96 kHz work automatically. Windows gets VST3, while macOS supports VST3 and AU.
