The release of the Pulsar 8200 plugin, the epitome of EQs, is a source of great pride for Pulsar. The Pulsar 8200 faithfully emulates the legendary GML 8200, which was designed by George Massenburg, the inventor of the parametric EQ. But how can you improve upon an analog parallel EQ known for its exceptional transparency?
Firstly, it’s crucial to create an emulation that closely mirrors the original hardware. Additionally, incorporating modern EQ plugin features such as filtering, tilt, sub and air bands, visual curve editing, and more, is vital to enhancing the 8200’s functionality.
With its tight and punchy low end, brilliant high end, and precise frequency control, the Pulsar 8200 plugin faithfully replicates the characteristics of the original machine.
Utilizing a parallel topology and unique filtering shapes, the Pulsar 8200 plugin allows for intuitive and distinctive spectrum shaping, producing smooth curves and a more natural sound compared to traditional digital EQs, while maintaining its own analog personality.
In addition to the original hardware features, the 8200 plugin includes modern tools such as a spectrum visualization and on-screen curve editor, providing better workflow and complete control over EQ choices. The de-esser and other advanced features make the Pulsar 8200 the ultimate transparent and versatile EQ.
