Eventide has today announced the release of SplitEQ, a parametric EQ with eight bands that features their patented Structural Split technology. SplitEQ is said to differ from traditional EQs, with a new approach for corrective and creative rebalancing, enhancing, repairing, and widening any musical signal or other audio sources.

What’s New And Different Eventide’s SplitEQ

Eventide’s powerful Structural Split engine divides the incoming audio into separate Transient and Tonal streams that feed the eight bands. This approach should make common EQ problems easier to solve, even in a busy, complex mix.

Here’s what Eventide’s founder, Richard Factor said;

“We’re incredibly proud of what our developers have accomplished. They've built on the Structural Split technology at the heart of our earlier plug-in, Physion, to do something truly groundbreaking: SplitEQ is a fundamentally new type of musical tool.”

SplitEQ splits any sound into two streams, mimicking human perception of its tonal and transient elements. From here, you can cut or boost only that part of the sound, which is not only useful as a corrective tool but also as a creative tool for adding dimension to mixes independent.

SplitEQ features an innovative real-time spectrum analyzer so one can see and hear the sound in new ways. Solo only the transients, a single band, or only the transients on a single band. Use this analyzer to track down problematic resonances or transients by displaying the tonal and transient streams separately, adding a new dimension to your troubleshooting toolkit.

Whether you’re working on individual tracks, a full mix, or cleaning up a two-track loop, you’ll find SplitEQ to be an inspiring and powerful tool that allows you to approach material in a new, musically and sonically meaningful way.
