Blue Cat's Liny EQ

"Linear phase equalization, without the latency."

Description

Blue Cat's Liny EQ - Linear phase equalizer plugin (VST, Audio Unit, DirectX)

Blue Cat's Liny EQ is a 9 bands linear phase equalizer. It processes the signal without the usual phase distortion most classical digital EQs produce. Its customizable and wide range of gain (+/-40 dB per band) makes it suitable for any sound sculpting to subtle final mix equalization task. Additionaly, two shapes are available for the filters ("Notch" or "Symmetric").

The Smooth Update mechanism has been included in this plug-in so that you can automate the equalizer in your favorite sequencer or use the MIDI capabilities of your sequencer to control it in real time. You will get an absolutely zipper-free continuous time-varying equalization. This equalizer also has a very small latency (less than 3 milliseconds) thanks to its optimized very short kernel.

The built-in Blue Cat's skinning engine enables you to skin this plug-in: adapt the user interface to your needs and customize the look of your Blue Cat's plugin! 3 skins are included in the install package. This web sites offers you to download more skins or learn how to create new ones. It's all free!

This version is a mono effect, which means that you will get the same effect on left and right sides of your audio signal. You may also want to check the Stereo Liny EQ or Widening Liny EQ effects.

2006/11/29	V3.0
	Advanced MIDI control with customizable parameters curve response and MIDI learn. Now supports Blue Cat's Skinnning language 1.2.4 with several skins per session. Parameters can be fine tuned when the shift key is down, which offers a .1 dB gain resolution. CPU efficiency improvement: no processing occurs when input is silent. Settings window now loads faster. (Bug fix): in some plug-in adapters (such as FxPansion's VST to RTAS adapter) the GUI did not display properly when first loaded. (Bug fix): when reinstalling the software in another directory, the "skin not found" message was displayed. Warning: because it now supports MIDI events, the DirectX plug-in may appear in the "Synth" or "DXi" category instead of "effects" in some hosts (such as Cakewalk Sonar). If it does not appear in you host, you might want to use our DXi Manager to de-activate MIDI features. Warning: this new version breaks the presets compatibility.
