Q-Pack includes three plug-ins Q, trackQ and SchranzQ.

Q is a sound shaping tool based on IIR filtering, soft saturation algorithms and fast SSE assembler. It works much like a normal EQ but has few tricks up its sleeve.

Q is based on the fact that too clean a signal doesn't sound good. You need harmonic distortions to bring life to digital recordings (or digital synthesis). This is achieved with a merge of EQ filtering techniques and accurately directed saturation. In the right hands this tool can work wonders on drums, vocals, guitars, synthesizers, etc. even whole tunes.

Q Features:

• 32bit IIR EQ core with per band saturation.
• Filter range from 20 Hz to 20500 Hz with no stepping.
• Sample accurate control of filter shapes with automatic "sleep" mode for lower CPU usage.
• EQ Graph with draggable nodes.
• Five filter modes: peaking EQ, low shelving, high shelving, lowpass, highpass.
• Spectrum Analyzer with smooth output (50fps).
• Elegant controls and exportable presets.
• Custom Skinning system.

Additional features in SchranzQ:

• Single- or multiband valve distortion simulation.
• Clipper + saturator on main output.
• Extended dB range.

trackQ provides hugely reduced CPU usage for regular tracking EQ use.
