1. Install SubSaturator

Download SubSaturator-By-Monakai-Complete-Package.zip from your license email.
Extract the zip and run SubSaturator_Installer.exe.
If Windows SmartScreen appears, right-click the file, choose Properties, click Unblock, or run UNBLOCK-ALL.bat.
Restart your DAW and scan for new VST3 plugins.

2. Activate Your License

Insert SubSaturator on a bass track.
When prompted, enter the license key from your email.
The plugin verifies online once, then works offline.

3. Dial In the Sound

Saturation — the main knob. Start around 30% and increase until the sub moves.
LFO Rate — tempo-synced speed of the saturation modulation.
LFO Amount — how much the saturation swells. Keep it moderate on sub frequencies.
Waveform — sine for smooth movement, sample & hold for glitchy texture.

Kai's tip: Place SubSaturator directly on your sub bass track or low synth. Use a slow sine LFO at low Amount for subtle analog-style movement.
