Product description The Apogee Electronics FX Rack Bundle is a set of dynamics and equalizer plug-ins designed for use in native DAW ecosystems or with select Apogee hardware. It includes four plug-ins—the EQP-1A program equalizer, the ModComp visual compressor, the ModEQ 6 parametric EQ, and the Opto-3A vintage compressor. This macOS-compatible bundle supports AAX, Audio Units, VST, and VST2 plug-in formats, and can be powered by your computer's CPU or via the DSP in Apogee Element Series or Ensemble Thunderbolt audio interfaces (available separately). - EQP-1A - FX Rack Pultec Program Equalizer Plug-In (Version 1, Download) Version 1 of the Apogee Electronics EQP-1A is an FX Rack Pultec program equalizer plug-in merging the sound of the legendary EQP-1A hardware equalizer with multiple powering, routing, and monitoring modes. It can be powered by your computer's CPU without Apogee hardware, or via the DSP in Apogee Element Series or Ensemble Thunderbolt audio interfaces (available separately), making it ideal for producers, beatmakers, and audio engineers with mobile rigs or studio-based systems. When used with qualified Apogee hardware, it allows real-time printing through the Apogee Control Software, or low-latency monitoring while linked to a mirrored instance in your DAW.Licensed and endorsed by Pulse Techniques, this plug-in was thoroughly modeled from a Pulse Pultec EQP-1A hardware unit to provide its renowned EQ curves and nonlinearities. Each of the two bands features frequency selection and separate controls for boost and attenuation. View and manage your gain staging via large I/O meters and dedicated input and output faders. The EQP-1A supports AAX, Audio Units, VST, and VST2 plug-in formats on macOS-equipped computers.
