Description

Pulsar MP-EQ is a detailed emulation of a world-renowned analog mastering equalizer, redesigned for modern workflows. It reproduces the original passive circuitry, inductors, and tube/transformer stages while introducing an optional Linear Phase Correction mode — a first for this type of EQ — ensuring precise phase alignment across the spectrum.

Key features:

Linear Phase Correction (New):

In traditional analog and emulated EQs, different frequencies are shifted in time due to the natural phase behavior of the circuit. MP-EQ adds a unique process that can realign all frequencies after equalization, transforming an analog style EQ into a true linear-phase processor.

• Preserves transient accuracy with no temporal smearing.
• Restores clarity and punch in the low end by maintaining harmonic alignment.
• Ideal for EDM, mastering, and any material where waveform integrity and phase coherence are critical.
• Prevents asymmetrical artifacts in Mid/Side mode by maintaining proper alignment between channels.

Analog-Modeled Passive Equalizer:

MPEQ accurately models every component of the original hardware:

• Passive parallel topology — bands interact naturally rather than stacking, resulting in smooth, musical corrections.
• Inductor based filters — provide organic saturation and subtle low end compression due to magnetic behavior.
• Tube and transformer gain stages that add gentle harmonic coloration and warmth.

This design produces an intuitive response and a natural tonal balance even at extreme boost or cut settings.

Interface and Controls:

• Curve Editor and Spectrum Analyzer – Edit the EQ response graphically and visualize the spectrum in real time.
• Drive Control : Adjust internal level to increase or decrease tube and transformer saturation.
• Mid/Side Processing : Independently shape mono and stereo information, with solo and visual monitoring for each channel.
• Auto-Gain – Compensates loudness changes introduced by EQ using an intelligent, curve-based algorithm.
• Transformer Selection : Choose between three output transformer modes:
Original : faithful to the hardware circuit.
Colorful : enhanced low-end warmth.
Clean : transformer stage bypassed.
• Oversampling : Switchable processing rates up to 384 kHz for higher-precision rendering.
• Resizable Interface : Scales smoothly from compact to large-format display.

Typical Applications:

• Mastering: Add depth, clarity, and smooth top end with precise phase alignment.
• Mix Bus: Shape overall tone without introducing unwanted phase shifts.
• Vocals and Instruments: Use the bandwidth control for focused midrange or warm low end tone.
• Electronic Music: Maintain punch and waveform integrity in bass and synth material.

    Snappy EQ

    Quite different from the UAD version. This on is very snappy. Transients are preserved. Probably due to the parallel topology. Having a selector for the oversampling is a big plus.

    Very nice broad & colorful Eq points

    This EQ was a very nice addition to my arsenal: the broad eq curves give color like no other EQ on the market (I have lots of, and have test hundreds). The filters are very musical also, and the graphics are obviously very handy to work with. There is an additional auto gain fonction which is a nice addition, and most of oll the ability of using 2 different sets of transformers at the output. Those can shape the harmonic distorsion and the dynamic behaviour like no other EQ is capable of. There's a Mid/Side processing option and a Linear Phase capability (which of course can be set as Minimum Phase), and a "Mixing Phase" in between. I am very happy with it, it sounds organic, very musical and it complements all my other "more surgical" EQs extremely well. I am a Mastering engineer, but I can tell you that this advanced tool is also very suitable for any Mixing context to bring color in, and highlight any musical texture into any track.
