There are plenty of useful presets to get you started, and you can create a new default that opens whenever you load an instance. You can also apply any slope to all of the various filters. Not only do they vary from smooth and subtle 6DB, but they go up to cliff-edge 96DB. I was also impressed with the filter slopes. Very easy to use, but can quickly change the feel of the mix or sound. It shifts the character of the sound, from dark to bright. It’s very simple – you tilt the EQ towards the bass or the treble frequency. Bandpass is as expected, but the other, tilt shift, I found particularly engaging. There is a couple of new EQ curves, the bandpass and tilt.
If the wrong curve is picked, it’s a simple click on the menu that pops up under the node, to select the correct one. Depending on where you click in the window automatically selects one of 6 different types of filter – bell, shelf, notch, cut etc. Opening the plugin gives you an empty GUI.
