The MF-109S Saturator is a software-only effect from Moog Music based on the classic Moogerfooger input drive stage, adding warmth, distortion and compression to any sound.

The MF-109S emerged from the development of the Moogerfooger Effects Plug-ins: the input drive stage of every Moogerfooger adds warmth, distortion and crunch, and during beta testing users asked for dynamic control over this circuit. By pairing a wide-range envelope follower with bipolar control over the drive circuit, the Saturator moves from tight, dynamic overdrive and analogue saturation to smooth compression and expansion. It also models the noise generator circuit of the Minimoog Model D, with control over noise level and noise tone via a switchable filter type. Envelope follower and noise CV outputs plus multiple CV inputs let it communicate with all the other Moogerfooger Effects Plug-ins.
