Saturation mode
_Mimas supports two operation modes:
Compressor mode – default,
Saturation mode – Since software release 2.1 _Mimas also supports saturation mode. It
is designed to use transformer saturation and FET 2-nd harmonic distortion in signal
processing.
Saturation mode can be activated from the plugin (using drive button) or from the hardware
itself by keeping ratio for more than 1 second. In that mode input knob represents drive level and all
other controls except bypass button are disabled and can’t be used at the time. In terms of signal
processing saturation mode uses gain staging on IN and OUT to create transformer/FET based distortion.
To obtain higher magnitude distortion of output signal, input signal should be reasonable high. Output
