Would someone do a RE re-make of Live 12's ROAR?

Roar is an "unassuming" new audio FX in Live 12 (currently in public beta, to be released on March 5th, 2024).

It's basically a saturation / distortion device, that can be configured as serial, parallel and multi-band, with each of the modules having its own transfer curve - chosen from quite a list of typical and unusual shapes - followed by interesting filters, all fed into a feedback unit, topped up with a super-comprehensive modulation matrix.

All of this together results in a huge range of applications: from gentle mastering saturation, to heavy shaping and violent distortions:



----------------

The closest thing I've found in RE shop is Enforcer Dynamic Saturator, but it's a poor, very limited "replacement" with acquired-taste GUI and confusing workflow. And hasn't been updated in ages.

Any takers? :)

Indeed! And I have the VST! And the RE! And I'm Polish (like D16 Group)!

Thanks :)

Nice. Is there no beta for the push?

Is there any info on the CPU usage of Roar? With all this power, I can imagine it could be a bit of a resource hog.
