Sculpting EQ · AU / VST3 / CLAP

Catch a resonance.
Keep the whole family.

A note is a Fourier series: a root plus the partials that ring with it. RootEQ plants that root and grows the related resonances in one move, then lets you branch any partial into a new series — until the vocal, guitar, or tom has a curve that belongs to that sound.

Plant. Grow. Branch.

Three gestures. The rest is listening.

Plant

Double-click the graph. A root appears at that frequency — the note the resonance belongs to.

Grow

Add the harmonic grid. Related partials lock to the root, so you cut a family instead of hunting cousins one by one.

Branch

Promote a partial into a new root and grow another series. Stack branches into a vocal EQ that is yours, not a 3 kHz shelf.

Built for resonances, not for the whole mix.

RootEQ is not a channel EQ. There is no low-cut, high-cut, or shelf. Every band is a peaking filter on a harmonic grid — a sculpting tool for ringing, boxiness, and the partials that make a voice.

  1. 01

    Related resonances, in one lattice

    A boxy guitar or a ringing tom is rarely one spike. Cut 400 Hz and 800 Hz often carries the same cabinet. Grow the series from the note and the cousins sit still.

  2. 02

    A vocal curve you can actually keep

    Branch the partials that belong to that singer — presence, honk, the whistle on one vowel — and save it as a preset. Not a generic “vocal” shelf. Their series.

  3. 03

    Leave the utility EQ on the stock plugin

    High-pass the rumble elsewhere. RootEQ stays on the harmonic work: the family of bells that should move together when the note moves.

What it is.

Each node is a peaking (bell) filter. The grid is how those bells stay related: a prime series from the root you planted. Shape scales the whole design. Double-click empty space for a new root. Right-click to add grid bands, change the prime, or delete. Double-click a grid handle to branch.

Questions

Is this a replacement for a parametric EQ?

No. There is no low-cut, high-cut, or shelf. Use a conventional EQ for those. RootEQ is for related resonances: a root and the partials that ring with it.

How does the harmonic grid work?

Each root has a prime (2, 3, 5, …). Grid bands land at f0 × prime^(i+1). Prime 2 is octaves. Other primes step through thinner related series. Move the root and the family moves with it.

Can I build a vocal preset by branching?

Yes. Plant the note, grow the series that sings, promote a partial that needs its own Q or its own children, and save the preset. Up to eight roots, ten grid bands each.

Is there a subscription?

No. One-time purchase.

What formats?

macOS: AU, VST3, and CLAP. Windows: VST3. No AAX.
