ROTATION

IN DEVELOPMENT

SHAPE. WARM.
HOLD TOGETHER.

A familiar EQ curve with a little more underneath. Shape the center and sides independently, add soft saturation, and settle the dynamics.

These demos are not loudness matched. Settings can change level as well as tone.

THE CONTROLS

SHAPE. WARM.
HOLD TOGETHER.

01

SHAPE

16 POINTS PER BANK

Bell, low/high shelf and high/low-pass filters. Right-click to add or delete; Mac also supports double-click. The left/right graph edges create high/low-pass points.

02

COMPARE

LIVE INPUT / OUTPUT / KEY

Watch the spectra while shaping the EQ. Route another track to the sidechain to compare frequency overlap: orange for low overlap, lighter red for moderate and vivid red for high.

03

FINISH

WARMTH + GLUE

Add oversampled saturation and gentle stereo-linked compression. Match levels with Output and check the whole mix.

How do I use it?

Right-click the graph to add or remove a point; a normal click selects and drags. Choose Stereo or Mid / Side and edit up to 16 points in each bank. Route a comparison track to the external sidechain to see overlap, then make EQ decisions by listening.

Does red mean I must cut a frequency?

No. The strip indicates simultaneous spectral energy, weighted by signal level. It is not a perceptual masking verdict and does not prescribe an EQ move. A grey strip means no connected/recent comparison data.

What does the graph show?

The bold curve is EQ gain. The thinner traces show input, output and sidechain spectra on a separate normalized −90 to 0 dBFS display scale. The EQ axis labels do not measure those spectrum traces.

What happens at neutral?

With gains at zero, no active pass filters, Saturation/Compression at zero and Output at unity, audio uses the original dry samples delayed by the reported oversampling latency.

How does the compressor work?

The ratio rises to 2:1, with a −12 dB threshold, 6 dB knee, 20 ms attack and 120 ms release. There is no automatic makeup gain or brickwall limiter.

Which systems and formats?

Development builds include Mac AU and VST3 for Apple Silicon and Intel, and Windows x64 VST3. Direct audio-engine and processor checks have passed. September 2026 development revision. Automated DSP/processor checks and isolated Mac AU/VST3 load checks passed. Native Windows and REAPER/Ableton testing, signing/notarization and final delivery checks remain before sale.

When can I buy it?

The individual plugin will be $20. Sales open after final release checks.
