Smoothing Saturation Effect

Hey guys, been playing with Ableton and its effects. There is a dreamy atmospheric pad Im working on, I have a heavy Saturation on it as the last in the effect chain, and it sounds exactly like I want, really happy about the result. I could use like it is, but is there a way to make it sound a little smoother? I wouldnt like to EQ it, I think it would kill all the nice artifacts of the sound.

I like Fabfilter's Saturn for that kind of stuff.

I couldnt make it work like this with Saturn, tried before but somehow with Ableton's saturation it came out exactly like I want.

turn the saturator down? subtle reverb? smooth is a broad brush stroke as a word.

Have you tried Edison's blur effect? from fl studio

A little bit of chorus maybe?

Slow subtle LFO on the cutoff?

By 'smooth', do you mean the rate at which the effect comes on or the actual saturation sound itself being less 'harsh'. If the latter, maybe try a free transient designer Bittersweet -
