Retro EQs Bundle v2
USER MANUAL
v 2.3.1
Welcome to Retro EQs Bundle v2
Thank you for choosing Nomad Factory's Retro EQs!
The bundle consists of three EQ racks based on the famous Pultec, Altec and Motown passive equalizers from the 50s and 60s. These equalizers were used on countless records and are still used today. The Retro EQs carefully model the filter curves and analog color of each EQ design while adding a few extra features.
Building upon the legacy of Nomad Factory Pulse-Tec EQs v1, All-Tech 9063B EQ and Motown Bundle, version 2 features a fully rewritten DSP closer to the original units, a wonderful resizable new UI with 2 skins, 3 new EQ units, VST3 and Apple Silicon support, oversampling and many more improvements.
Have fun!
The Plugivery Team.
The v2 is not compatible with v1 sessions or presets. They are completely new plug-ins and thus won't replace the v1, so you can still use them to reload your previous work.
Pulse-Tec EQs v2
Introduction
The Pulse-Tec EQs v2 include 3 equalization modules modelled after Pultec hardware in a single plug-in. Each module can be individually disabled or used simultaneously for full range equalization.
HLF-3 Module
The HLF-3 is a vintage filter module made of two high quality 12 dB/octave high-pass and lowpass filters. Each band provides 10 frequency options or can be individually disabled.
Controls
MEQ-5 Module
The MEQ-5 is a midrange equalizer which consists of two peak boost bands and one dip attenuation band.
As extra addition to the original design, the mid band filter offers 2 dip filters that can be used simultaneously"
Controls
Select which band I or II is controlled by the mid dip frequency and mid dip atten knobs.
EQP-1A Module
The EQP-1A section is composed of 3 filters: a low shelf, high peak and high shelf. The low band can be simultaneously boosted and attenuated to achieve the classic "low-end trick", while the high peak and the high shelf can only be respectively boosted and attenuated.
Controls
Link low shelf boost and attenuation amounts relatively. The link is only active when used from the plug-in interface. Both parameters are still independent when automated or remote controlled.
PRE-2S Module
The PRE-2S is the master section of the entire EQ chain. Use it to adjust the input and output levels, the amount of analog character and the dry/wet mixing ratio.
Controls
Mix between dry (post input gain) and wet (equalized, post output gain) signals. 0% is full dry, 100% is full wet.
