The world’s least possible EQ. Twenty bands, each with an axis no other EQ has. A normal EQ decides how loud a frequency is. This one also decides when it arrives. A classic meme turned into a sound design machine.
What it actually does
Radical Band Control
Fold bands left and right, over each other, to enjoy a plethora of multi-band sound design miracles only possible now!
Endless Options
Choose between 4 different ‘Fold’ modes on 11 different band types including Ripple, Brownian, and Runaway Resonator. Each Fold mode has a different left–right function: Time is prelay–delay, freq shift is negative–positive, FFT is phase lock–spectral gate, and Transient is cut–boost. Also included is a serial signal flow node dragger when in serial mode.
Maximum Modulation
Nearly everything can be modulated with 5 customizable LFOs, 4 mappable macros, and 3 envelope followers to make your sounds flow into uncharted territory. Go even further with our Mod Matrix section that allows any combination of modulators as well as Aux Mods.
The details
A plugin is a piece of software that runs inside a music production application, the sort of thing people mean when they say DAW. Ableton Live, FL Studio, Cubase, Reaper, Logic Pro. It sits in the signal path and changes the sound on its way through. Fold EQ installs as VST3 on Windows and macOS, and as an Audio Unit on macOS, so Logic Pro and GarageBand work too as of version 1.1. The one exception is Pro Tools, which loads only AAX. Fold EQ runs unlocked in demo mode for as long as you like, so you can hear it on your own material first.
