What it does
A spectral filter holding four independently drawable curves from 50 Hz to 20 kHz, blended through an XY pad. Points are drawn freehand and joined with square or triangular segments, and each curve has invert, shift and skew with spread offsets, plus cut and boost depths and low and high cuts. Up to eight modulators drive any of it, chosen from LFOs, random, envelope follower, sample and hold, 2D LFO, dynamic systems, macros, MIDI and accelerometer-based 3D motion. Randomization comes in three strengths, with per-parameter opt-outs.
In the demo
Jade builds curves from a flat default on a Buzz Zone pad, adds modulators one at a time, then moves the XY pad under its own LFO. She repeats it on a drone generated by Arguments and on drums.
Worth knowing
The depth is in the modulation routing rather than surgical correction, so anyone wanting a plain mixing EQ has more controls here than the job needs.
