The 4020 Retro EQ plug-in, along with the rest of the McDSP Retro Pack plug-in
product line, is an entirely new design based on more than a deacde of McDSP
engineering experience. The Retro Pack plug-ins are highly stylized products
(both visually and sonically), and through an elogant user interface, deliver a
vintage gear experience.
The 4020 Retro EQ is a four-band EQ and complimentary filter set. The HF and
LF bands are shelving EQ, with two additional parametric EQs at the HMF and
LMF bands. All EQ bands operate on a unique gain dependent variable slope/Q
system for a smooth sound and increase selectivity at large boost/cut gain values.
The HPF and LPF filters use a unique split-octave design giving a 12 dB / Oct
slope near the selected frequency, and a maximum slope of 24 dB / Oct.
All Retro plug-ins use a McDSP designed output stage topology to eliminate
digital clipping at any output level and produce a smoother distortion
characteristic. This feature is in addition to the analog saturation modeling that
has made McDSP famous over the last decade.
Features:
• Unique original algorithms
• EQ and filtering
• Anti-Clip Output Stage Topology
• Analog Saturation modeling
• Double precision processing
• Ultra low latency
• Mono and stereo versions
