Rocksolid Audio releases TEQ-6P - An EQ where every copy is unique (VST3, AU & AAX)

The useful part

Rocksolid Audio has released TEQ-6P, a six band valve EQ plugin that takes a completely different route to standard analogue modelling. Instead of using impulse responses or curve matching DSP, the engine solves physical circuit equations in real time. It simulates the valves, transformers and coils exactly as they behave in a real hardware unit, delivering the genuine dynamic response of a physical circuit rather than a fixed curve.

How it works

• We wanted to build a piece of software that accurately simulates how a hardware EQ genuinely works, rather than copying any particular unit.
• Pricing & Availability The plugin comes with a choice of two user interfaces, Classic or Modern.
• TEQ-6P recreates the circuit itself and runs it in real time, so it reacts the way real hardware would.
• Matthew Felton, Director of Rocksolid Audio Rocksolid Audio has also built component tolerances directly into the mathematical model, which is where the Unique Edition comes in.
• Edition is £89 and the Unique Edition is £129, both one off purchases with no subscription.

Details worth keeping

Most analogue modelling captures a snapshot of a circuit at a fixed point. Every Unique Edition copy generated is 100% unique. Just like buying a physical hardware unit, where natural resistor and capacitor variances give each piece its own subtle character, each copy is the only version in the world that sounds exactly like it, and it carries its own serial number.
