控制野兽
如果让工程师列出一份能让他们眼前一亮的eq清单，他们可能会提到一款基于感应器的设计，它的航海名称让人联想到海神波塞冬（Poseidon）。这款罕见而传奇的游戏机的EQ部分发出的声音可能是你从小就听过的：皇后乐队、披头士乐队、大卫·鲍伊、滚石乐队……我们只能说它是“久经考验的”。
目前在极少数工作室，这台主机是著名的高度音乐。其魔力背后的一个关键组成部分是其独特的波段相互作用-推动一个波段的增益可以导致EQ曲线，在参数EQ上需要三个或四个波段。
对于这样一个特殊的情商，有一个学习曲线。它的表带之间的相互作用是如此独特，以至于我们从未见过能让它们简单易用的数字再现。所以我们决定用屏幕上的EQ曲线，忠实地反应原始硬件的怪癖，使脉冲星波塞冬易于掌握。
与它所有的附加功能（中/边带，增益比例，自动增益，多饱和色），这个插件（VST/VST3/AU/AAX）忠实地复活了这个控制台EQ进入数字领域的罕见和标志性的品质。
主要特点
拓扑保存技术
我们的建模技术保证了原始设备行为的完美模拟。从二极管、晶体管或电子管的饱和，到轻微的内部滤波，再到微小的校准缺陷，一切都能完美地再现。更重要的是，我们可以重现所有这些行为，而无需经过完整的电路模拟，从而节省CPU功耗。
饱和阶段
用两个饱和电路中的一个进一步推动信号，并使用驱动旋钮调整处理强度。第一种模式忠实地模拟了启发这个插件的控制台的模拟电路，而第二种模式是脉冲星音频创作，具有更现代和更具侵略性的特征。
现代EQ版
以直观的方式操纵特殊形状的模拟EQ曲线。曲线编辑器非常易于使用，具有清晰简洁的整体频率响应显示。您可以编辑任何过滤器的所有属性，而无需触摸下方面板。
输出变压器
原始控制台通道的模拟电路没有输出变压器。脉冲星波塞冬提供了两个额外的选择：一个输出变压器的灵感来自旧Neve前置放大器中使用的Marinair模型，和一个原始的变压器算法优化，以增强低端谐波。
Mid-Side处理
每个波段都可以在整个立体声信号上使用，或者切换到一个单一的焦点操作：仅中，处理单声道，中心音频或仅侧，处理立体声，非中心音频。
自动增益
这种控制补偿由均衡引入的音量变化，保持输出电平与输入电平一致。采用基于c加权的算法引入基于EQ曲线分析的电平补偿。补偿增益只取决于你的EQ设置，不会在播放过程中改变。
计量和频谱分析仪
屏幕上的分析仪实时显示音频频谱（快速和慢速窗口设置）或长期与无限频谱设置。此外，峰值测光提供了对整体动态的洞察，RMS仪表可以让您监控响度和电平匹配。总体增益计也可用。
获得规模
对于增益的批发减少或增加，增益比例控制可以让您强调或减少整个EQ曲线，就像所有波段增益设置的乘法器一样。
过采样
可选的过采样模式可用于计算机，可以处理它，处理速率高达384khz。您可以选择在导出时应用比播放时更高的过采样设置。
聪明的GUI
脉冲星波塞冬全部包裹在一个响应和可调整大小的界面。大小调整手柄使您能够为每个用例选择完美的大小，从美观紧凑到高度可见。

CONTROL THE BEAST
Ask an engineer for a shortlist of EQs that make their eyes and ears sparkle, and they’ll probably mention an inductor-based design with a nautical name that conjures up images of the god Poseidon. The EQ section of this rare and legendary console made the sound of records you might have grown up with: Queen, The Beatles, David Bowie, The Rolling Stones… Let’s just say it’s “tried and tested”.
Present in very few studios, this console is renowned for being highly musical. One key component behind its mojo is its unique band interactions – pushing the gain of one band can lead to EQ curves that would need three or four bands on a parametric EQ.
With such an idiosyncratic EQ, there’s a learning curve. The interactions between its bands are so unique that we’ve never seen a digital reproduction that makes them simple to use. So we decided to nail it ourselves with an on-screen EQ curve that reacts faithfully to the quirks of the original hardware, making Pulsar Poseidon easy to master.
With all its additional features (Mid/Side bands, Gain Scale, Auto-Gain, multiple saturation colors), this plugin (VST/VST3/AU/AAX) faithfully resurrects the rare and iconic qualities of this console EQ into the digital realm.
Main Features
Topology Preservation Technology
Our modelling technology guarantees a perfect emulation of the original device’s behavior. From the saturation of diodes, transistors or tubes, to the slight internal filterings, to the tiny calibration defects, everything is perfectly reproduced. What’s more, we can reproduce all these behaviors without going through a complete simulation of the circuit, thus saving CPU power.
Saturation stage
Push the signal further with one of two saturation circuits and adjust the processing strength using the Drive knob. The first mode faithfully emulates the analog circuitry of the console that inspired this plugin, while the second is a Pulsar Audio creation featuring a slightly more modern and aggressive character.
Modern EQ Edition
Manipulate a peculiarly shaped analog EQ curve in an intuitive way. The curve editor is extremely easy to use, with a clear and concise overall frequency response display. You can edit all properties of any filter without touching the lower panel.
Output Transformer
The analog circuit of the original console channel had no output transformer. Pulsar Poseidon offers two additional options: an output transformer inspired by the Marinair models used in old Neve preamplifiers, and an original transformer algorithm optimized for the enhancement of low-end harmonics.
Mid-Side processing
Each band can be used on the entire stereo signal, or switched into operating with a single focus: the Mid only, to process monophonic, centered audio or the Side only, to process stereo, non-centered audio.
Auto-gain
This control compensates for volume changes introduced by equalization, keeping output level consistent with input. It uses a C-Weighting-based algorithm to introduce a level compensation based on EQ curve analysis. The compensation gain applied only depends on your EQ settings and won’t change during playback.
Metering & Spectrum analyser
The on-screen analyzer displays the audio spectrum in real-time (fast and slow window settings) or over the long-term with the Infinite Spectrum setting. In addition, peak metering provides insight into overall dynamics, and RMS meters let you monitor loudness and level matching. An overall gain meter is also available.
Gain scale
For wholesale reduction or increases in gain, the Gain Scale control lets you accentuate or reduce an entire EQ curve, acting like a multiplier for all bands’ gain settings.
Oversampling
A selectable oversampling mode is available for computers that can handle it, with processing at rates up to 384 kHz. You can choose for higher oversampling settings to be applied at export than at playback.
Smart GUI
Pulsar Poseidon comes all wrapped up in a responsive and resizable interface. A resize handle enables you to choose the perfect size for each use case, from nice and compact to highly visible.
