Sound Radix Releases SurferEQ Plugin
Sound Radix‘s goal to create tools that achieve results otherwise impossible by analog gear is achieved with the release of SurferEQ.
This is not just a typical EQ plugin due to the fact that the frequency range isn’t fixed. Translation: SurferEQ actually follows the pitch of your source’s fundamental and harmonic frequencies as the pitch is raised or lowered. This achieves constant results on a vocal or instrument source.
Shred your sound waves with the SurferEQ now for $129 MSRP for Mac and PC as RTAS, VST and Audio Unit plug-in formats. Lets take a closer look at what makes SurferEQ tick, in the words of Sound Radix:
“SurferEQ tracks the pitch of the instrument or a vocal track and can change the EQ frequency accordingly in real-time, making it possible for the first time to naturally control the fundamental frequencies or harmonics of a track. Just set any of the EQ bands to a desired harmonic and watch SurferEQ move with the track, staying always relevant to the music.
For over a year, we’ve meticulously developed an accurate, real-time pitch detection engine with virtually no octave errors. There’s no need for endless parameters tweaking. It just works.
When developing our original analog-behaving asymmetric EQ algorithms (No cookbook EQ here!), we’ve made every effort to preserve the size and energy of the original recording. SurferEQ sounds natural even when it is pushed to its extremes. In addition to the HP, LP, shelf and bell shaped filters, we’ve developed a unique four mode harmonic filter. It takes on a whole new life when it moves with the pitch and makes it possible to achieve new sounds as never heard before.
We are excited and proud to finally put our creation in your hands. We hope you’ll find it inspiring and creative as we have. Surf on!”
