Audio engineers and music producers looking to impart classic transistor tone and color characteristics to their recordings will appreciate the MIA Laboratories Musiqual Green MkII, a signal-processing software plug-in that delivers a strong transistor character, providing a classic 1990s sound.
The Musiqual Green MkII consists of a single-band EQ with complete access to frequencies from 20 Hz to 20 kHz, which delivers soft and discrete color. The harmonic distortion component delivers 3rd-order odd harmonics, while the compressor is tuned to complement the transistor component of this unit. The Musiqual Green MkII is Windows and Mac compatible and works with most DAWs utilizing AAX, AU, and VST3 plug-in formats.
Benefits
- Musiqual Green exhibits a strong Transistor character, providing that classical 1990s sound.
- Musiqual Green’s EQ provides a fairly transparent sound with a transistor flavor that is characteristic of analog technology. The user has complete access in the 20 Hz to 20 kHz range. The color is soft and discrete.
- Transistor or op-amp circuit amplifiers exhibit a strong component of 3rd-order harmonic distortion. The harmonic distortion component in the Musiqual Green simulates this characteristic sound, mostly introducing odd harmonics, with the 3rd one being the most prominent. The user can precisely tune the amount of distortion added to the signal.
- The Compressor present in Musiqual Green is specifically tuned to complement the Transistor character of this unit. It has fixed attack and release settings and allows you to control of the amount of compression applied to the sound.
