Waves Cobalt Saphira snake oil?

HARMONICS
Cobalt Saphira is an advanced harmonics shaping tool that lets you add rich harmonics to your tracks in order to give them analog musicality, depth and "glue."

A NEW LEVEL OF CONTROL
Cobalt Saphira gives you an unprecedented level of digital control over different aspects of the harmonics you are adding:
  • Edge and Warmth – for separately controlling and balancing even and odd harmonics
  • 4-band EQ – for separately shaping the frequency spectrum of each type of harmonics
  • Harmonics modes – seven different modes, with graphical representation so you can see the changes in harmonic structure
  • Tape – five tape speeds for adding wow-and-flutter modulation in order to give your tracks extra musicality and depth

      The first thing it reminded my of is the Vertigo VSM-3, which I have, and which is very, very cool.

      The concept seems sound - how they implemented is the big question.

      It sounds like a re-invention of the harmonic exciter.

      Notation, the original DAW. Everything else is just rote. We are who we are and no more than another. Humans, you people are crazy.

      "Hey people, remember wow and flutter, those horrible artifacts that you used to spend tens of thousands of dollars to minimize back in the analogue days? Well now you can reintroduce those! Spend money to get things you spent money to get rid of!!!"

      Maybe I'll never use it but since it's free (in my Mercury package) I'll install after I upgrade ti Win 10 just to be sure Waves still installs properly.
