Cobalt Saphira synthesises odd and even harmonics at frequencies of your choice, giving tracks, buses and full mixes an analogue touch.

Even harmonics add clarity and warmth, odd harmonics add a rough edge – and you can introduce them separately or together. Seven modes shift the balance between odd and even harmonics, while modelled tape processing adds depth and liveliness. This makes Saphira far more versatile than traditional exciters, for drums, instrument groups, buses and masters, with over 50 presets to get you started.
