The priority should always be how a GUI feels when using it over how it looks in isolation. I don't find this ugly when using it.leckel1996 wrote: Fri Jul 10, 2026 10:38 am I suspect some people are more visual than others.

Anything’s fine, as long as the GUI isn’t covered in random decorative screw holes hahaleckel1996 wrote: Fri Jul 10, 2026 10:38 amI suspect some people are more visual than others.

but honestly, i already love it the way it is. it just sounds that good.
kinda embarrassing to admit, but this is the first time i’ve ever bought a plugin without caring what it looked like. i just heard it and bought it.![]()

I did not. I’m working on my process for notifying about updates. Definitely want to streamline this and make it easier for everyone to get the latest version.

I've been living under a rock for the past several weeks and missed this release. I only have a few hours with it, but it was an easy purchase. I'm not even mad about missing the intro price; it could have been substantially more, and I'd have purchased it. Great EQ!

I'm in agreement; I like the current UI just as it is. With an EQ like this, I don't want to be influenced by too many different visuals. @leckel1996 -- if you're going to work on the UI, please have an option to maintain this overall theme and make it selectable to pick the version you want.bmanic wrote: Fri Jul 10, 2026 2:45 am I really like the current UI too. I hope it doesn't change too much. It's very easy to operate and see the values. Legibility of all the important values is absolutely top notch.

The interface move will likely not appeal to everyone, but I will probably keep the current 2D interface.

Since Ableton doesn’t support fully 64bit float end to end, either are fine. In DAWs like Reaper that support it, I prefer VST3, but it doesn’t actually matter that much, it only puts me at ease.

If possible, please keep the current 3D interface as well as an option! Or whatever the default is right now. It's _perfect_ in my opinion.leckel1996 wrote: Mon Jul 20, 2026 11:58 am Hey! Thanks for purchasing!
