Reflexive EQ

A simple dynamic EQ that works fast.

The Reflexive EQ is quick to configure, due to its automatic gain-staging and simple controls.

The plugin comprises four dynamic EQ bell curves, each of which can be used in compression or expansion mode, processing mid and/or side information.

The device is highly responsive, with adjustable attack and release times for each EQ bell, up to 10ms look-ahead, and minimum-phase filters designed to move quickly without pre-ringing or other artifacts.

Features

• Up to 4 independent dynamic EQ bell curves, each with controls for gain, frequency, Q and attack/release times
• Each EQ bell can process Mid and/or Side information
  
• Detector frequency range can be customized and auditioned
• Up to 10ms look-ahead
• Automatic detector threshold allows the device to work the same on loud or quiet material
• Optional automatic make-up gain targeting neutral LUFS impact
• External sidechain ducking capability (if using the AU version of the plugin, click "sidechain" in the display to activate)
• Spectrum analyzer with enhanced low-end time/frequency resolution
• Potentially clashing frequencies are highlighted when an external sidechain is connected
  
• Resizable user interface
• Factory presets included

How to use

• Drag the circles to adjust the frequency and gain of each EQ bell
• Click on a bell to select it and reveal additional controls (or use left/right arrow keys)
• Double-clicking an EQ bell toggles it on/off
• Q-factor (i.e. filter sharpness) can be adjusted with mouse scrollwheel
  
• If using a custom detector frequency range, adjust it by dragging the vertical blue bars that appear in the display
  
• Click the display for instant A/B test (bypass mode continues to use CPU in order to keep the plugin calibrated to the incoming signal)
• Double-click a control to reset it to its default value, or hold <CTRL>/<CMD> to fine-tune

Technical notes

• Available in VST3, AAX & AU formats for Windows and MacOS
• Requires a compatible Digital Audio Workstation or other plugin host
  
• Up to 10ms latency from optional look-ahead, otherwise zero latency
