Pro Tools EQ Curve display support

[Vergebung]

Pro Tools has a mini EQ curve display in the Mix window, part of the AAX SDK since version 2018.4. FabFilter Pro-Q uses it, the curve shows directly in the channel strip insert without opening the plugin UI.

Since the plugin already computes its response curve for the built-in analyzer, exposing it through that AAX interface would mostly be wiring, not new DSP.

Would be a great addition for Pro Tools users.

I might re-consdier that when CLAP is fully supported by JUCE.

Yes, the code is almost the same. BUT it will increase the RAM usage of plugin. I am not sure whether it is a good idea.

RAM usage might not be a problem. In a session with 40-50 tracks, a LOT of plugins and a browser with 120ish tabs open I use about 10 Gb of my 32 Gb of ram. Most have 32 Gb ++ Gb of ram these days. More DSP load though, we do not need. Steinar 😊 lør. 18. juli 2026, 00:31 skrev zsliu98 ***@***.***>:

@SthaugeAudio It should not increase DSP load, but I am not very sure about the UI rendering load :(

As far as I know (besides AAX, as it is only for Pro Tools) CLAP is the first format that inlcudes drawing mini curves/meters in its official API :)

Hopefully JUCE will support such feature. And hopefully most(or some) DAWs will also support that.
