Voxengo releases HarmoniEQ VST
HarmoniEQ is a digital equalizer in PC VST format specifically designed to bring excellent and unconventional equalizing performance requiring little to none effort from the user. We have called HarmoniEQ a harmonically-enhanced equalizer because harmonical enhancement it applies to the sound is an inherent element of its overall sonic quality. Its special Boost mode coupled with a high-shelving boost produces a really stunning harmonically-rich and shiny sound.
<BR
Since the easiness of tuning was one of our goals HarmoniEQ features a single control surface to control equalizer curve. No knobs to have hassle with! HarmoniEQ’s control surface workflow implements our best findings in the area of “user-equalizer” interaction. This allowed us to offer the user 3 shelving and 4 bell-shaped filters without making HarmoniEQ a hard-to-finetune device. At the same time having 7 equalizer bands in total gives the user a lot of control over spectral details of the program material being processed.
