Satellite

Two-stage saturation, targeted by frequency.

Interactive — drag the knobs, switch models

What makes it tick

Two stages

Chain independent saturation stages, each with its own character. Warm transformer in front, crisp tape in back — or any combination.

Model library

Switch saturation characters per stage. Tube, tape, transformer, diode — each modelled from real analog behavior.

Full control

Global mix, per-stage drive, high and low filtering. Shape the saturation exactly how you hear it.

No asterisks

We make audio tools. That's it. No tracking, no upsells, no fine print.

Lifetime license

Pay once, own it forever. No subscriptions, no annual renewals.

No iLok, no dongles

Just a license key. Activate, and you're done.

Your data stays yours

We don't track usage, build profiles, or sell your information. Ever.

Minimal collection

We store what's needed to deliver your license. Email, key, device ID. Nothing more.

Works offline

Activate once, then forget about the internet. No phone-home, no check-ins.

No spam

Your license key and critical updates. That's the entire email list.

One person, real tools

Rakus is a one-person operation. I make audio plugins because I care about how they sound and how they feel to use. No venture capital, no growth metrics, no corporate roadmap — just good tools for people who make music.
