WHY IT EXISTS

A fixed EQ cuts all the time. Most problems do not happen all the time.

It moves only when needed

A dynamic band stays flat until the frequency goes over the threshold, then cuts or boosts only as much as needed. The mud, the harsh note, the boomy word: handled when they show up.

Make room with the side-chain

Let a band on the guitar listen to the lead vocal: the guitar steps back at 3 kHz only while the singer sings, and comes back between phrases.

Touch it during the show

Every control glides. Switching a band, its shape, its slope or the phase mode never clicks: we tested 74 abrupt changes, all silent.

INSIDE THE PLUGIN

What it does

Static, dynamic or spectral

Bell, shelves, tilt, notch, band pass and cuts from 6 to 96 dB/oct. Turn on DYNAMIC to set threshold (or AUTO), range, attack, release and knee, above or below.

Spectral mode

Inside the band, only the frequencies that stick out are cut, in narrow slices. Resonances go, the tone stays.

Zero Latency or Linear Phase

Zero Latency for live. Linear Phase changes only the level of each frequency, never its timing, with Low, Medium, High or Maximum resolution; the latency is reported to the host.

Side-chain per band

Each dynamic band listens to its own signal or to the external key. Pick the key channel in your host: the side-chain menu in Logic, pins in REAPER, KEY in Live Rack.

Stereo, left, right, mid, side

Every band works on both channels, one side, the center or the sides, in both phase modes.

See what you hear

Spectrum before and after the EQ, the key in purple, and the live action of each dynamic band on the curve. Gain Scale, Auto Gain, polarity and a click-free bypass.

MADE FOR LIVE

Built for the pressure of a show

Made for the stage

Zero Latency mode adds 0 samples. Use it on every channel without thinking about delay.

Light on the CPU

24 dynamic bands in stereo use about 3 to 6 % of one core of an Apple Silicon Mac.

Apple Silicon and Intel

One installer, AU and VST3, native on both. Activated in Harmovant Audio Hub.

Runs on any AU or VST3 host and was built side by side with Live Rack, the Harmovant live plugin console. Live Rack →

QUESTIONS

Frequently asked questions

How does the free trial work?

You enter a card and use the plugin with every feature for 14 days. Cancel in My account before the end and nothing is charged. If you keep it, the license is charged once and is yours, with lifetime updates.

Do I pay for updates?

No. The lifetime license includes every future version of that plugin, for as long as it exists, with no renewal or yearly fee. You pay once.

Does it cut the audio if the license has a problem during a show?

Never in the middle of a show. Licenses are checked without internet, and any action waits for a safe moment, with clear warnings days before.

Buy the plugin or get Stage Pass?

Buy the plugins you use: you pay once and get every update for life. Stage Pass is better if you want all of them from day one, plus every new Harmovant plugin as soon as it comes out.
