Scaler EQ Pro is a ground-up evolution of Scaler’s award-winning note-aware equaliser.
Scaler EQ Pro brings musical intelligence to every stage of mixing, mastering and sound design. Shape frequencies in relation to notes, scales and harmony, control the low and high end dynamically, or even play your EQ from MIDI – all while keeping the musical context at the heart of your sound.
Built on Scaler’s patented note-aware equalisation and rebuilt with all-new filter technology, Scaler EQ Pro delivers smoother, more natural Harmonic Peak filtering, continuously variable slopes, dedicated Bass and High-Frequency Compression, Continuous Gain Match and the new MIDI-controlled Live Mode.

Key Features
- Patented note-aware musical EQ lets you boost frequencies that belong to your key and scale, or reduce frequencies that fall outside them.
- All-new musical filter engine delivers smoother, more natural and more precise note-aware processing across the frequency spectrum.
- Redesigned Harmonic Peak filters target musical frequencies accurately while blending naturally into neighbouring notes.
- Continuously variable filter slopes let you move smoothly between traditional slope values instead of being restricted to fixed steps.
- Automatic key detection analyses your music and adapts Scaler EQ Pro to the detected key and scale.
- Switch keys and scales instantly without rebuilding your EQ curve.
- Traditional and musical EQ band types give you familiar precision EQ alongside Scaler’s unique harmonic and scale-aware filtering.
- New Tilt and Notch filters offer faster tonal balancing and precise removal of unwanted frequencies.
- Dedicated Bass Compressor helps control low-frequency energy, tighten bass and preserve punch.
- Dedicated High-Frequency Compressor smooths harsh or overly energetic highs while retaining detail and openness.
- Continuous Gain Match automatically compensates for level changes as you work, helping you judge tonal changes rather than simply louder ones.
- MIDI-controlled Live Mode lets you boost or cut frequencies by playing notes from a MIDI keyboard or programmed MIDI in your DAW.
- Velocity-sensitive Live processing lets harder or softer MIDI notes control how much boost or cut is applied.
- ADSR shaping in Live Mode controls how the EQ response evolves over time for rhythmic, expressive and sound-design applications.
- Performance Solo allows Scaler EQ Pro’s output to follow your MIDI performance, turning EQ into a playable effect.
- Live Band Solo isolates the frequencies currently being affected so you can hear exactly what Live Mode is processing.
- Dynamic EQ on any band with Threshold, Ratio, Attack and Release controls.
- Sidechain-controlled dynamics let external signals drive the behaviour of individual EQ bands.
- Fine-tune harmonic colour by adding or removing individual notes from the active scale.
- Create resonant, musical effects using scale-based filtering to transform sounds into harmonically related textures.
- Mid/Side processing on every band gives precise control over stereo, mid and side information.
- Stereo Width and low-frequency mono control help shape spatial balance and keep the low end focused.
- Magic Shelf filtering provides musical low- and high-frequency shaping for punchier lows and smoother highs.
- Hundreds of presets for mastering, instruments, mixing, sound design and creative processing.
- Input and output level control with Peak and RMS metering for accurate gain staging and monitoring.
- Input and Output Peak Limiters provide additional level control at either end of the signal chain.
- Minimum-phase, zero-latency processing makes Scaler EQ Pro suitable for mixing, tracking and live performance.
- Completely redesigned interface and workflow brings the expanded feature set together in a faster and more intuitive environment.
- Protected by U.S. Patent No. 12,647,085 for Scaler’s note-aware audio processing technology.
