Pulsar Audio Pulsar 8200 v1.1.5-0daytown

Pulsar Audio推出了一款均衡器：Pulsar 8200，这款插件重新定义EQ的典范。

上个世纪70年代是多种音乐流派诞生并盛行的时期，迷幻音乐、摇滚、爵士乐、灵魂乐、嘻哈音乐诞生，电子音乐同时期起步。那十年的音乐至今仍对现代西方音乐文化产生极大的影响。该时期，音乐制作环境也经历了巨大变革，出现了一个现在不可或缺的工具：参数均衡器，其中有一款经典的均衡器脱颖而出，就是传奇的GML 8200均衡器硬件。

Pulsar 8200仿真了GML 8200，它完美地仿真了原始硬件的全离散、A类模拟电子元件，提供紧密坚实的低频增益、清晰的高频额外空气感，可以对整个频谱进行精确和音乐化的控制。

此外，Pulsar 8200的平行拓扑和独特的滤波器形状比任何数字EQ听起来更自然。从另一个角度看，直接在频谱图上编辑均衡，大大地优化了工作流程。

The paragon of EQs, reinvented. The best companion for your passive EQ. Pulsar 8200 is a faithful emulation of the legendary GML 8200 designed by George Massenburg*, the inventor of the parametric EQ. Full EQ control is a formality today, but it was a dazzling novelty back in the days.

Just like the original machine, Pulsar 8200 gives you a tight and solid low end, a crystalline high end, and surgical control over the frequency spectrum. He perfectly replicates the all-discrete, Class-A analog electronics that made the original machine famous in the 80s, and still used today.

Its parallel topology, coupled with unique filtering shapes, allows an intuitive and unique spectrum shaping, resulting in smooth curves, and a more natural result compared to classic digital EQ, maintaining its own “analog personality”.

Main Features
Visual curve editing
Manipulate a peculiarly shaped analog EQ curve in an intuitive way. The curve editor is extremely easy to use, with a clear and concise overall frequency response display. You can edit all properties of any filter – including its assigned name – without touching the lower panel.

De-esser
An embedded simple-but-efficient de-esser gives you full control over the aggressive or harsh transients of the spectrum, to get a more polished and professional result. In the central panel, choose the frequency, the amount, and the filter type (bell or shelf).

Mid-Side processing
Make EQ changes to a signal’s centre or stereo information by operating in mid/side mode. The Listen buttons help audition each signal in isolation, and the screen displays only the channel you’re working on, so you always know what you’re doing.

Auto-gain
This control compensates for volume changes introduced by equalization, keeping output level consistent with input. It uses a C-Weighting-based algorithm to introduce a level compensation based on EQ curve analysis. Since this compensation only depends on your EQ settings, it won’t change during playback.

Tilt filter
Some things can’t be done with just bells and shelves. We’ve added a complex 6-pole tilt filter to adjust the tonal balance of your whole mix in a natural and analog-style way with a single knob.

Sub & Air band
The Air & Sub bands, inspired by the philosophy of parallel passive equalizers, allow you to fine-tune the extreme high-end and low-end of the spectrum without adding any mud or harshness.

Metering & Spectrum analyser
The on-screen analyzer displays the audio spectrum in real-time (fast and slow window settings) or over the long-term with the Infinite Spectrum setting. In addition, peak metering provides insight into overall dynamics, and RMS meters let you monitor loudness and level matching. An overall gain meter is also available.

Gain scale
For wholesale reduction or increases in gain, the Gain Scale control lets you accentuate or reduce an entire EQ curve, acting like a multiplier for all bands’ gain settings.
