Precisely Enhance Odd and Even Harmonics
The allure of analog sound lies in its subtle harmonic distortion. Cobalt Saphira's advanced harmonic synthesis engine lets you add harmonics to your tracks with unparalleled control. You can separately introduce odd and even harmonics at specific frequencies, and there's also an optional tape sound processing feature.
Add even harmonics for clarity and warmth, odd harmonics for a rough edge, or use both for a unique sound. Saphira's harmonic enhancement brings a wonderful analog touch to tracks, buses, and full mixes.

To start, you can try using the presets provided - there are over 50 of them for different scenarios like master bus, groups, and various instruments. If you want to have more control, you can separately introduce odd and even harmonics at specific frequencies.
