The user interface

The user interface

The user interface consists of two distinct panels:

The toolbar, common to all Pulsar Audio plug-ins (top)

The control panel, specific to the plug-in. This panel is made up of two racks: the EQ
control rack on the bottom, and the curve display and metering rack on the top

You can find a resizing control in the bottom right corner of the plugin interface. This is common
to all Pulsar Audio plug-ins, and scales the interface to the exact size you want, from 67% to
200%, in increments of 1%.
