It's good to know we can have that possibility, but most of the times, I for example, operate within the +|- 12 db range.
A linear phase eq might also be used for mastering, in that case, a more suitable range would be +|- 6 or 3 db perhaps...

Would you please consider implementing a switch to limit the range to a desired one?

Can we use this thread for bug reports and suggestions as well?

And maybe a LV2 version would be fine too.

Yeah I'll try to implement some sort of zooming. And sure you can post bug reports and suggestions here.

Oops I missed that one. What happens?


What is that?

Don't know exactly as I quickly closed my DAW as the plugin crashed (the dynamic part of the GUI + the nodes disappeared accompanied by that generic horrible clipped stuttering sound.)

This happened while I double clicked some parameters but don't recall which atm, will let you know if it happens again.
I also remember, right clicking a parameter to enter a value before the crash at some point... and something seem odd (parameter reset 1.0 instead of 0 ?! don't really remember as I happened quickly.)

Another one is that the nodes will occasionally jump while dragging them around. Causing unpleasant glitches especially with large boosts/cuts.


Here's another simple one that I can reproduce:


-click on a node.
-adjust frequency by scrolling on it's freq parameter.
-click on another one, scroll up or down on it's freq parameter.
-notice the jumping bug.

This also happens with the Gain parameter.

ADDED: the "Q" handles also jump occasionally... very bad when you notice a sudden 60db boost!

Not able to reproduce that error 3ee =/ Which host are you running?

Win7 64bit, FL Studio 10, 32bit plugin

Also happens in Live Lite 8.2.2.

Mhhh I hadn't noticed that before (or rather I thought I had fixed it) but the last bug seems to be that when you select another node the 3 knobs (freq, gain and slope, which is not Q by the way) retain the value of the previously selected knob, so when you move them they start from that other value. The knobs don't get their parameter IDs changed correctly or something. Either way I'll try to fix it.

As for the rest I have no idea, I'm not sure what happens or how you make it happen. Anyway if you're not already doing so make sure to set the limiter to 0 dB, I made it to prevent disagreeable accidents when accidentally setting something too high.


Well I use WDL/IPlug, I'm happy to make builds of whatever it supports but I'm gonna stick to just one framework.

That's weird, I fixed the aforementioned knob bug by uncommenting some code. That makes me wonder why it was commented in the first place. Just hang on, now I just have to make 10 builds... (2 for Windows + 3 for Mac, for both the free and commercial version).

EDIT: Just updated it, hope it fixes it for you.

A bit large vertically, and it looks a bit Synthmaker-ish (due to the "controls" of the bands), but else the GUI looks nice and 4 bands as freeware are fair.

I'm also stuffed with LP EQ's, but nice to see another one around the block that's free for entry level, and affordable for those that need more.

I'm not sure what Synthmakerish means. What does it mean? And it's large vertically because of the huge gain range too, although it's also because early on I hardcoded the visualisation thing to be square (and you could rotate it).

Does the freeware version save settings in host projects? If not, seems it's more of a demo version.

Yes, it does! (at least one instance as I tested )

@ A_SN, just got the latest version and the jumping bug appears to be gone.

Take a look at certain early graphical EQs made with SynthMaker. These EQs used a similar system to widen the Q, drag and drop, etc... this is what reminds me of it even up until this day, even though it's not "limited" to SE/SM anymore.

I still find the GUI a bit large compared to the tagging, but then again, I'm on a 1024x600 EeePC and not my 1680x1050 dual head rig.
