They are quite nice, but they're a bit too light & have a little too much blue tint. I'll need to make some improvements to them & also to the light coloured versions at some point.

Anyway, it's nice to see you making some nice looking surfaces for your devices because nice pots don't always look as good without a good surface to put them on & I can see that you spend some time on your graphics.

Keep up the good work.

Gotta say - chickenheads - by virtue of simply being chickenheads - make it sound fatter.

They're like stripes or GT guards on a car - extra grunt

Tanks for the 'q, B :)

yeah absolutly, and while it doesn`t imrove sound...

I simply love complete things,

a good algo + a nice gui just feels like a more complete thing.

Don`t know, but it makes me feel so much better to work with no-crappy looking plugins...

do you still remember when this all started?
we discussed the looks of the plugins, I even didn`t have sdk...

I made some demo looks..... and it became rolling... later you shared many gui elements, which I think was a huge thing in favour of the platform.


And I even think you improved your own skills more through time. when I look at your newest jupi knob, mhh it looks brilliant. :)

There's certainly a lot more to it than meets the eye.

That seems like a long time ago now. :D

Yes, well at least for sharc & I, from what I remember... I was inspired to start making the gui elements for Scope because I made a decision in August '06 not to continue any further gui design developments for the Soundart Chameleon projects which sharc & I had been working on. Instead we decided to get the Scope sdk before Xmas that year, but knew that we couldn't afford a scope pro board straight away. It was basically preparation for what we knew was to follow.

The first gui elements were released early September '06, just a few weeks later. If I remember correctly Martin was the first to make use of the first few gui elements. Soon afterwards, we were given the opportunity to design an interface for MCCY's MOVEQ+ & also concieved the concept & gui for DJmicrons' CAT oscillator modules. Those two guys (Martin & Salvatore) have been a big inspiration for us... just to give credit where it's due, since that was still months before we got the sdk.

By early December '06 I had the money to buy a new Pro card & soon after, ordered & payed for it direct from CW just before they went into liquidation. Luckily we got the sdk just before Xmas & had the holidays to learn a few sdk basics.

That's what got things rolling here at this end as far as I can remember.

yep it seems it was like that....

funnily everyone has its own way into the scope world...

what impresses me most is the nice community here, much hidden skill, but no arrogance at all. This is very rare.

I still remember my first post here:

Thank you, he is very beautiful :)

it passive EQ ? It is good !!!
But in position "0" sound not original, but already with a change !?!?!
They are difficult to manage from it :(

Does can so it must be??? I am not sure... :)

In any case - THANKS!!!

Hi RecS,

thats why its beta.
in maximum position it should unaffect the sound.
but it doesn`t at the moment. I`m aware of this.

but you are right its some sort of passive EQ, you cannot overload it,
but I should add an active gain stage and a peak meter behind to mask the level loss in extreme cases.

the good thing is every band has full gain range, not just 12db or 24db ....
so you can do extreme tasks.

Hi everybody,

fixed the sound issue in neutral setting.

to be precise,
this version has a completly different and new internal cirucity compared to v1, so it may also sound different.

A very nice sounding EQ Boris. :wink:

I was away and didn't hear the first one, but this sounds un colored so I assume this is the latest.

BTW 8 bands is perfect for 88 note keyboards.

It really shines on my new Bosendorfer library for GS4. Those ultra low piano strings seem to love the 0 - 75 band.


Thanks 4 Your Contributions. :wink:

hehe thats good.

but be careful, I didn`t rewrite the labels...

so the 0-75 and so on maybe incorrect. :lol:
labels were based on CW atoms.

But I seriously doubt that I will fix this. This would be another photosuite session. :P

I`m pretty sure with the upcoming SC EQ we got enough good free EQs for almost any tasks.

:D


----
btw try this EQ with a vinco behind on a drumloop, and tweak some freq. away and add compression. Can sound really sweat. it really can add some oldschool character.

Yesssss! I am happy!!! :)

A sound is now correct !!!

And I like that every bar is taken to absolute "0" - fine !!!

Thenks, Thenks, Thenks!

How to compel to work preset list???

I apply Asp8-band in guitars and vocal, but in XTC mode my tuning is not saved! :(

Possibly will a preset sheet allow to go round this trouble? :roll:

But conception all of time likes me!
Thanks!!!

"Passive" EQ designs are facinating. I apploud more of these to the platform. As you can't really add what is not there, the idea of removing what you don't need makes more sense.

I do however think digital and analog EQ designs differ. In the digital world it is possible to do linear-phase additive/subtractive EQ designs, which I doubt you could do in the analog world.

Exactly this aspect very likes me!!! :)
I got the best results of tuning applying - "Passive" EQ!
For addition it is possible to apply other EQ!!!

P.S. Everybody opens the world on your own FIRST - in spite of that millions passed before him!!!
