A wild EQ modeled after a rare and mythic console turned into an easy-to-use modern tool.

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 β€œtried 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.

* No iLok driver installation is required to run.
* Our release loads faster and uses less RAM than original.
* Periodical iLok check is bypassed. Performance is stabler than original version.

Stevie does it sound better than the Relab Development Mastering eq plugin, Trident studios.

I think if anyone were to buy into aggressive "analog modelling" this is a pretty fair choice. Looks gorgeous (which is half the appeal of these anyways lets be real) and doesn't have that god fucking awful mid/side approach where they just duplicate one half of the plugin for each side which literally doubles the size on your screen when they can just simply have a mid/side toggle in each individual band instead.
It sounds like a funky parallel EQ with saturation; just like other analog EQ emulations. Pulsar does do a good job at adding subtle low-end, band-dependent compression/saturation though which I like. The saturation never truly breaks the dynamics of your audio, another thing I like.

Tip: Use auto gain (its a static gain adjustment based on equal loudness curve) and hide the display UI for better a workflow.

If you experience a black screen or rendering issues change "rendering engine" to "1" in preferences.json. This switches it to OpenGL. 2 is legacy directx, 3 is modern directx.
