Included are seven different filter types per band: US Vintage, UK Vintage 1, UK Vintage 2, US Modern, UK Modern, Digital 1 and Digital 2, in addition to a newly-developed, one-of-a-kind asymmetrical bell filter. A keyboard graphic lets users choose frequencies by clicking on notes, and MS Mode allows users to apply different EQ to Mid and Side content. Also featured is a real-time frequency spectrum analyser with multiple display options.
The new plugin offers stereo/linked, dual/unlinked and MS Mode EQ modes as well as HP, LF, LMF, MF, HMF, HF, LP filters. ‘Analog Type’ toggles between analogue characteristic types, and ‘Analog Level’ controls the level of the combined noise and hum. ‘THD Level’ controls the level of harmonic distortion added to the signal, whereas Keyboard lets users choose frequencies by clicking on notes.
The plugin’s ‘Analyzer’ presents a real-time graphical display of the input signal, output signal or both, as well as the EQ curve. ‘Analyzer In’ displays the input signal, post-input fader, while ‘Analyzer Out’ displays the output signal, post-output fader. ‘Analyzer Scale’ displays the energy level measured by the analyser.
