The Wavegrove Mariform is a newly released transformer saturation effect plugin for audio production, developed in collaboration with Tape Over. It is designed to add realistic analog transformer characteristics to digital audio signals.

Key Features

• Realistic Transformer Saturation: At its core, the plugin uses a custom-engineered transformer model to deliver authentic warmth and rich, harmonically complex drive.
• Area Spectrum Control: Users can choose to apply saturation to specific frequency zones (Low, Mid, or High) and fine-tune each range with three independent saturation points.
• Dynamic Movement: The Impedance and Tone controls add natural, dynamic movement to the sound, simulating how physical hardware interacts with other devices in a signal chain.
• MariAir EQ: A smooth high-frequency shelf EQ (MariAir) is included for adding "air and openness" to tracks.
• Clipper: A pre/post-saturation clipper offers additional control over transients.
• Mid/Side Processing: The plugin supports Mid/Side processing, allowing saturation to be applied independently to the mono or stereo side channels for greater control over depth and width.
• Delta Monitoring: A Delta mode allows users to audition only the difference signal, highlighting exactly what the plugin is adding to the audio.
• Use Cases: It is recommended for use on low-end material, hard transients, and digitally clean sources, and works well on instruments, groups, and the mix bus.
