Solid State Logic will showcase a new plug-in for the Duende DSP powered DAW plug-in platform at the NAMM show.
X-EQ is at first glance a 10 band parametric EQ, but each of the 10 EQ bands can be selected to provide a different type of EQ, making X-EQ a vast range of different EQ processors in one package. Bands 1 and 10 are High and Low Filters, each of which can be set to employ one of five different Filter topologies with five very different tonal characters. Bands two and nine are shelving EQ's with a Q range that extend right up to 10.3 and a degree of undershoot and overshoot at higher Q settings that give a unique tonal character. The remaining six bands are all Bell EQ's with a choice of nine different EQ types providing a comprehensive range of response curves. All Shelving & Bell bands can operate across a full 20Hz-20kHz frequency range with a powerful gain range of +/-20dB. All of the Bell bands can also be switched from the usual serial signal flow of a parametric EQ to the parallel signal flow of a graphic equalizer.
Key features of the X-EQ plug-in include:
-10 band parametric EQ with individually selectable EQ type per band.
-Intuitive user interface with drag and move graphic control, on screen knob layout, mouse wheel (& fine mouse) control and numeric editing.
-Bands one & 10 are High & Low Cut Filters, each with five different selectable topographies.
-Bands two & nine are Shelving EQ's with proportional Q values.
-Bands three to eight are Bell Filters with 20Hz-20kHz range and nine individually selectable EQ types.
-Bands three to eight can be switched between standard series and parallel signal flow for classic graphic EQ style operation.
-Real time FFT signal analysis display
-Stereo input and output metering with peak hold, separate RMS meter and dynamic range display.
-A/B facility for instant comparison of two different EQ set ups.
-MIDI control capability for all parameters.
