J1000 has announced the release of two new free VST effect plugins for Windows- MQ55, a mixing equalizer and SX36, a stereo processor.
MQ55
Parametric mixing equalizer based on MQ57. Most of the functions are the same, except that MQ55 operates only in stereo mode, has more flexible pass filters and has gain ratio that acts like dry/wet control. This is my go-to EQ for music production.
Features:
- 7 parametric minimum-phase stereo filters, 5 of them are peak, 2 are shelf.
- Functions and ranges optimized for mixing tasks.
- HP and LP filters with two selectable slopes (1st & 2nd order for HP, 2nd & 4th for LP filter).
- Ratio knob that serves as a overall gain multiplier.
- Possible monitoring for each peak filter.
- 32-bit internal precision with zero latency and low CPU consumption.
- No introduced harmonic or dynamic distortion.
SX36
Three-band stereo processor that separates audio into low, mid and high frequencies and lets you manipulate their stereo properties – width and panning or rotation. Crossover points are easily adjusted with single knob. It has simple meters for each range showing correlation or panning. High-pass filter cuts unwanted frequencies on side channel for more stable bass.
Features:
- Three spectrum ranges with identical stereo and gain controls.
- Choice between rotation and classic panning for each range.
- First order (6dB/octave) crossover to preserve spectrum fluidity as much as possible.
- Simple correlation and panning meters with two speeds of operation.
- Dedicated, auto-monitoring side channel HP filter (12dB/octave).
- 32-bit internal precision with zero latency and low CPU consumption.
These plugins are available for free via J1000.
