3. EQ SITRAL-295 OVERVIEW
3.1. Arturia's EQ SITRAL–295 plug–in
Our goal was to give users the experience of a great tool, an EQ modeled after some
classic units of the early seventies. The originals were initially used in broadcast consoles.
Soon enough, recording studios found out that these broadcast modules had very high
specifications and sounded amazing. The next step consisted in upgrading their recording
equipment with cassette modules featuring these very same EQ units.
The user interface we created allies the simplicity and analog feel of the originals with a
modern approach, more suitable for working in a computer environment. The Main panel
has the controls for the three EQ bands, coupled with some buttons and switches on the
right side, to control parameters such as Mid/Side, Auto Gain and channel linking, or to
change the character (coloring) of the EQ.
There is also an extra panel, as has become usual with almost all the effect plug-ins from
Arturia. There, you have the visualizer. This is a very important add-on, which gives a touch
of modernity to this classic unit. The visualizer displays the EQ curve, while allowing you
to monitor the input and output sound spectra. The input spectrum is displayed in dimmed
colors, while the output spectrum is shown with bright colors. Switches on the left allow you
to turn On and Off any of the two spectra and to display both channels of the stereo or just
one of them.
We will take a detailed look at all of these elements in the
Control Panel chapter
[p.14]. Now,
it's time to check out how it works and how it sounds. Let's go!
