In this week's Friday Free Plug-in, we are featuring Fat from MIA Laboratories.
What Is Fat?
It makes things, err.. Fatter? Actually we had to do a little investigation because there’s not much detail out there on what it does but you can hear what it does for yourself in the audio examples below. We heard a thickening, a bass lift and saturation at the bottom end.
Running some sine waves through it we noticed some pronounced hot spots where significant distortion happened, for example around 50, 80 and 130Hz but the ranges in between were distinctly clean. However, this was in response to a fixed amplitude signal and it might well respond differently at different levels. Judge for yourself.
