File size: 52 MBBlack Q is a 4 band Tube Eq with 2 modes of saturation.
These are modeled from analog equipment featuring Sowter and Lundahl transformers and Various Tubes.
The Philosophy behind Smooth Tube EQAt Tone – Empire we are obsessed with “Sound”We recently brought a vintage unit to life by building the hardware version over 6 months, changing tubes, transformers and signal paths.
The result was simply “Stunning”Then combining this with a versatile EQ Design, we developed a monster Tube EQ in the DSP world, a kind of hybrid with a sound going from ” Clean and Silky ” to full-on ” Crunchy ” sounding saturations.
TYPE A gives you a great “FULL” sound including a “Big” Low end and TYPE B gives you a crunchier mid/high enhanced sound.
These choices make it possible to use this eq on a variety of sound materials from Drums to vocals, Piano, string instruments, Bass, Synths and as a mastering unit itself.
The next part was to make this plugin as processor efficient as possible so it could be used as a tracking plugin with very low latency and also allow one to run multiple instances of it effortlessly.
I think we have accomplished both things.
We are now very keen to see our customers reactions to Black Q!Platform:WiN64 – VST/VST3/AAXWhats New:Initial releace
