v0.3.0 — Harmonic EQ
8-band zero-latency parametric EQ + dynamic EQ + feed-forward compressor + I/O trim,
now with a Harmonic band character.
New in this release
- Harmonic character: a third per-band option alongside Modern/Vintage. Layers
gain-driven even/odd harmonic saturation on top of the standard linear response.
Even harmonics (warm, tube-like) come from an asymmetric quadratic waveshaper; odd
harmonics (grittier, transistor-like) come from a tanh waveshaper; a per-band blend
slider crossfades between them. Drive scales with the band's own applied gain, so a
band left at 0dB stays transparent. - Uses first-order antiderivative anti-aliasing (ADAA) instead of oversampling, so
the added harmonic content stays clean without adding latency.
Verified
pluginval(VST3 + AU, strictness 5): clean pass.- Real audio through the actual shipped processor class, FFT-checked: the even
generator produces exactly the fundamental + 2nd harmonic and nothing else; the odd
generator produces exactly odd harmonics and nothing else. Zero added latency
confirmed throughout.
Known limitations
- No preset system yet.
- Meters are simple peak reads, not ballistics-accurate.
- Dynamic EQ detection is internal only (no external sidechain input yet).
- Not yet tested against real audio hardware in a live signal chain.
Both roadmap items from v0.2.0 (dynamic EQ, harmonic EQ) are now shipped.
