Following on from the award-winning Scaler music theory plugin, Scaler EQ offers a remarkable new way to EQ with musicality and colour. By enhancing only note frequencies in key with your song, and reducing only note frequencies that aren’t, Scaler EQ can provide a new spin on working with cuts and boosts, increasing the tonality behind your music and providing new harmonic avenues.
Thanks to its Harmonic Peak and ‘Plus/Minus’ filter types, performing a boost on Scaler EQ means only boosting frequencies that are in-key with the currently set scale. Making a cut with the same band will reduce only the out-of-key frequencies – although it can be set to cut in-key frequencies too, which can be helpful for mixing.
""Scaler EQ is plugin that offers an innovative way to equalise with musicality and colour. It is a plugin that deserves to be tried by anyone.""

"Scaler EQ can emphasise ‘in key’ frequencies, so that the sound becomes ‘tuned’. The scale-aware EQ’ing makes it stand out from the crowd. Well worth Exploring."

The World's First Truly Musical EQ
What can Scaler EQ be used for?
Music Production
Ideal for musicians and producers looking to enhance the musicality of their tracks by ensuring all instruments are in harmony with the chosen scale.
Audio Editing
Simplify EQ processes by targeting and cleaning up frequency bands to remove audio that doesn’t belong and enhance audio naturally present with the chosen scale.
Audio Engineering
Dynamically soothe audio by suppressing in-harmonic frequencies or expanding harmonic frequencies using dynamic compression and expansion.
Mastering
Place on your master channel to broaden your stereo width, focus your bass, increase loudness, and enhance your mix.

Thanks to its Harmonic Peak and ‘Plus/Minus’ filter types, performing a boost on Scaler EQ means only boosting frequencies that are in-key with the currently set scale. Making a cut with the same band will reduce only the out-of-key frequencies – although it can be set to cut in-key frequencies too, which can be helpful for mixing.
By using in-key EQ, you’ll get warmer lows and sweeter highs when boosting, while out-of-key cuts will lead to clearer, more focused bass and less harsh highs that retain their musicality.
Key detection lets you automatically capture the key of your music through audio or MIDI, making it quick and simple to set up sweetening, tonal boosts. For a choice of broader or more focused tonal colours, you can add or remove notes in the currently selected scale. Key Switching? No problem, Scaler EQ can assign different scales and keys to ‘Scale Switchers’ that are fully automatable.
Scaler EQ’s harmonic band types aren’t the only option for boosts and cuts. The traditional array of shelves, bells and high-pass/low-pass filters will be instantly familiar and simple to use for every producer, and there’s more to reward creative exploration in Scaler EQ.
The high-frequency Magic Shelf works in a complementary way, increasing sides with more strength and reducing mids more heavy-handedly. With its Range control increased, any Magic Shelf band introduces a complementary scoop or bump before its corner frequency.
Scaler EQ acts as an all in one tool box on your master channel with adjustable input and output levels, Peak and RMS Meters and two safety limiters that can be driven into at input or output stage for increased loudness.
Scaler EQ will fit right beside all your other mixing plugins with its solid workflow for boosting and cutting bands and shelves like a traditional EQ. Each band or shelf can also be set to Dynamic mode, helping to soothe boosts and cuts with dynamic compression and expansion that can be controlled with a sidechain input, set with Threshold, Ratio, Attack and Release controls.
