Saturn dynamics knob issue and feature request.
Ive noticed when i turn up Saturn's dynamics knob beyond 400 i get some ugly artefacts/crackle stuff going on in the upper mid frequencies. I tried lowering the input to see if it was effected by gain but the noise still remains. It's a shame because the dynamic control really creates some great movement. I tried all the different distortion styles and they all result in the same unwanted gravel. I dont know if it would solve my issue but maybe it would be possible in a future update to have a "clean" option in the style section. So no distortion is applied at all. Any thoughts?

I couldn't directly reproduce this. Does it depend on the type of input signal?
Note that if you turn the Dynamics knob to the right, it can amplify small artefacts in the input signal due to the compression that's applied.
Cheers,
I too notice this after hours of trying to determine where the distortion was coming from. it add so much punch to the midrange but once you transition your mix to smaller speakers it causes some seriously distracting artifacts.
