Sonic State: “Analogue tube saturation and harmonics plug-in with optional hardware integration”

Sonic State recently featured the release of FreqTube FT1-EMU, Freqport’s tube saturation plugin derived from the FreqTube FT1 hardware.

The plugin is built using component-level SPICE modeling, capturing tube saturation, harmonic content, and natural dynamic behaviour based on the original circuit design.

In-the-Box Processing

As highlighted in the article, FreqTube FT1-EMU operates as a standard plugin within a DAW environment, bringing tube-based processing directly into the software workflow.

Hardware Integration

Sonic State also points to the plugin’s connection to hardware.

When the FreqTube FT1 is connected, the plugin switches from software emulation to real analog processing.

Final Thought

The Sonic State feature presents FreqTube FT1-EMU as a system that brings circuit-based tube processing into a software environment, with the option to access real analog hardware when needed.

Hybrid made simple.
