Key Features
Frequency Modulation with Keytrack (Keytrack FM)
Incandescent Equation comes with an innovative Keytrack function that allows you to modulate the frequency of any band based on the pitch of incoming audio. This frequency modulation feature, also known as Keytrack, enables you to harmonically adjust your EQ to follow the musical elements, providing a natural and seamless integration with the source material. Whether you’re working with vocals, basslines, or melodic leads, Keytrack lets you dynamically adjust the EQ to suit the key of your track.
Advanced Brickwall Filters
Featuring brickwall filters, Equation ensures clean and precise cutoff points for your low-pass and high-pass filtering needs. The brickwall filters deliver sharp, steep transitions to eliminate unwanted frequencies while maintaining audio integrity. This feature is ideal for extreme filtering applications, providing full control over the frequency spectrum without unwanted bleed or phase distortion.
Oversampling for Superior Quality
Experience pristine sound quality with Equation’s built-in oversampling feature. Oversampling helps reduce aliasing and distortion, ensuring that every frequency adjustment remains crystal clear, even when working with complex sounds. This feature is crucial for producers and engineers who require top-notch sound fidelity in their mixes.
Per Band Stereo Placement (Stereo/Left/Right/Mid/Side)
One of the standout features of Incandescent Equation is its per-band stereo placement capability. This lets you independently control the stereo placement of each EQ band, allowing for ultimate flexibility in spatial sound design. Whether you want to widen the stereo field of your highs or tighten up the low end, Equation empowers you to shape the stereo image with precision.
Gain Reduction and Boost for All Filter Types
All filters in Equation, including low-pass and high-pass filters (LPF/HPF), offer both gain reduction and boost functionality. Whether you need to cut frequencies or enhance them, the device provides the necessary tools to shape your sound the way you envision it. You can effortlessly reduce muddiness in the low end or accentuate certain frequencies for clarity.
ADSR Envelopes for Dynamic Control
For deeper sound shaping, Equation includes fully editable Gain ADSR envelopes that allow you to control the attack, decay, sustain, and release of each EQ band. This feature is perfect for dynamic sound design, allowing for evolving sounds that react to your mix in real-time. Whether you’re designing synths or sculpting drums, the ADSR envelopes provide expressive and creative flexibility.
6 Audio and MIDI Sidechain Inputs
The Incandescent Equation supports up to 6 audio and MIDI sidechain inputs, enabling complex routing possibilities and interactions with other elements of your mix. This allows you to create rhythmically responsive EQ movements or sidechain modulations that breathe life into your tracks. Perfect for ducking, sidechaining vocals, or automating your EQ in sync with beats, the sidechain inputs expand your creative potential.
Phase Response Plot
Get a clear view of your EQ’s impact on phase with the integrated phase response plot. This visual tool helps you understand how your frequency adjustments are affecting the phase relationships within your sound, allowing for more informed and precise EQ decisions. It’s an essential tool for users who prioritize transparency and sonic accuracy.
Resizable Window Display
The intuitive, shortcut-based Display interface not only makes editing fast and efficient but also offers a resizable window. Customize the plugin to suit your workspace and make your workflow as seamless as possible. Whether you need a compact interface or a detailed view, you can resize the display to fit your exact needs, making Equation a flexible choice for both small and large sessions.
