Saturation

Analog-style saturation — a smooth tanh-ish waveshaper (warm, rounded, tube/tape character, gentler than Overdrive). Drive pre-gains into the curve, Tone tilts the brightness, Mix blends dry/wet. Melody-owned DSP (shaper-rt, transform_code 1). Insert it and automate Drive for a swelling warmth — the Drive port accepts modulation (wire an Effort/LFO in for a growing grit).
