I wonder if I can really use that

Looks like he never made any money from it, while his designs were
used extensively. So I would guess yes...

IMHO it might be a nice tribute to the inventor to use his full name
for once, rather than a truncated version of it.

It would be a nice tribute indeed. I'll think about that, thanks

In any event, definitely a nice opportunity to tell a little of his story.
Seems he was awarded a $25 watch by the British Sound Recording Association
for coming up with that. Certainly seems a bit of an unsung hero, in the
area of analog circuit design.

Even if only on an about page.

Great idea, I'll definitely do that. Thanks.

We have been working on a Baxandall style EQ plugin for a while now.
The interesting thing about Baxandall circuits is that the bands are usually affecting each other, so even if on one potentiometer you have a +20dB boost, it might be a completely different value once you move the other one. This interaction is sometimes considered "awful" on DIY stompboxes forums. To avoid this side effect it's possible to split/separate the bands using opamps, the results is a more "stable" version where the values of the potentiometers are exactly what you are getting, no interferences.

There are lots of different implementations and schematics out there, we've decided to focus on a three band (shelves + mid with q), and we also emulated the standard and the split behaviour (with two slopes).
This is just a small teaser, as we have been super busy working on several new products and updates, and we don't know yet when we'll start beta testing this:


Name is of course temporary, any suggestions?

Any updates on this??

Still in development, but I had postpone it to concentrate on updates and other releases. No ETA, unfortunately.

Wow didn't know you guys @audiothing worked on a Bax eq. Cool!

[SiliconDeath]

Looks rather interesting. I look forward for more emulations from you guys

Sorry, too lazy to read the first 4 pages. Has anyone compared the Bax with the Maag EQ2??

Clearly the Maag doesn’t have any HP/LP filters. I’m just wondering how the shelves compare when used in a similar context.

Actually how about doing parallel filters, instead of series and then summing the results?? Is that viable approach??
