Description

A wild EQ modeled after a rare and mythic console, turned into an easy-to-use modern tool.

Ask an engineer for a shortlist of EQs that make their eyes and ears sparkle, and they’ll probably mention an inductor-based design with a nautical name that conjures up images of the god Poseidon. The EQ section of this rare and legendary console made the sound of records you might have grown up with: Queen, The Beatles, David Bowie, The Rolling Stones... Let’s just say it’s “tried and tested”.

Present in very few studios, this console is renowned for being highly musical. One key component behind its mojo are its unique band interactions – pushing the gain of one band can lead to EQ curves that would need three or four bands on a parametric EQ.

With such an idiosyncratic EQ, there’s a learning curve. The interactions between its bands are so unique that we’ve never seen a digital reproduction that makes them simple to use. So we decided to nail it ourselves with an on-screen EQ curve that reacts faithfully to the quirks of the original hardware, making Pulsar Poseidon easy to master.

With all its additional features (Mid/Side bands, Gain Scale, Auto-Gain, multiple saturation colors), this plugin (VST/VST3/AU/AAX) faithfully resurrects the rare and iconic qualities of this console EQ into the digital realm.


Product Features

  • Modeling technology guarantees a perfect emulation of the original device’s behavior.
  • Push the signal further with one of two saturation circuits and adjust the processing strength using the Drive knob.
  • Manipulate a peculiarly shaped analog EQ curve in an intuitive and familiar way.
  • Mid/Side processing allows each band can be used on the entire stereo signal, or switched into operating with a single focus: the Mid only, to process monophonic, centered audio or the Side only, to process stereo, non-centered audio.
  • Auto-Gain compensates for volume changes introduced by equalization, keeping output level consistent with input.
  • The on-screen analyzer displays the audio spectrum in real time
  • 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.
  • A selectable oversampling mode is available for computers that can handle it, with processing at rates up to 384 kHz.
