SurferEQ Boogie

SurferEQ2 is a ground-breaking pitch-tracking equalizer plug-in that tracks a monophonic instrument or vocal and moves the filter with the music.

Sound Radix teamed up with Mix with the Masters and are happy to bring you a special edition version named SurferEQ2 Boogie.

Synthesizer filters can track the pitch to maintain the timbre of the sound throughout the instrument's voices. However, sound equalizers have always been static. While they are effective for broad tone-shaping and room resonance correction, standard EQs do a poor job at maintaining the vocal or instrument's timbre as the music changes.

SurferEQ2 Boogie is built using a morphing filter bank comprised of unique "circuit" structures which we've custom-built. We've optimized the circuits to achieve minimal group delays for excellent transient response and vibrant sound (No cookbook EQs here!). SurferEQ's analog-like, asymmetric and Q-coupled filters sound natural even when pushed to extremes.

One of the great challenges in designing a pitch-detection algorithm is avoiding octave errors while keeping the algorithm efficient enough for real-time processing. We've spent over a year researching and meticulously developing an accurate, real-time pitch-detection engine with virtually no octave errors.
