Chapter 1
Auditory Filter Banks
In the 1930s a physicist at Bell Labs named Harvey Fletcher was studying
the human auditory system. In 1933 he published a paper called "Loud-
ness, Its Definition, Measurement and Calculation" which introduced the
concept of critical bands in human hearing. This discovery showed that
a human can only detect a the presence of a frequency if it is a certain
distance from another frequency playing at the same time. This fre-
quency distance changes depending on the frequencies of the tones
that are playing. But generally, this and other research has found that
we can divide the human auditory range into 26 critical bands between
0 Hz and 20 kHz, and within each critical band a human can really only
make out one sound at a time. Because the critical band corresponds
to action of the basilar membrane in the human ear it is referred to as
an auditory filter, and the set of all 26 critical bands is referred to as an
auditory filter bank.
In the years since, many successful models of the human auditory system
have been developed which rely on these critical bands. Many of the
most successful of these rely on the Mel Scale, which defines a particular
arrangement of auditory frequency bands such that each band sounds
equally spaced from all others. The idea is that by breaking up a sound
using a mel spaced filter bank, the division of that sound will sound equal
to a human listener.
Auditory scientists and engineers now use the Mel scale in hearing re-
search and in speech recognition research. You might not know it, but
the Mel scale is probably being used behind the scenes in various gad-
gets and equipment you already use. It’s often used any time the signal
processing could benefit from working in the same way as the human
ear. We thought, if this scale matches what a human hears so well, why
aren’t we using it in an EQ? So we created the EQuivocate Auditory
Paragraphic EQ.

Chapter 2
Newfangled Audio
EQuivocate
The core of EQuivocate is a relatively straightforward graphic EQ. It sup-
ports between 1 and 26 bands which, by default, are distributed along
the Mel Scale between 0 Hz and 20 kHz, however it does allow you to
customize the center frequency of each band, technically making this a
paragraphic EQ. The filters themselves are linear phase triangular filters,
of the kind often used in human auditory models to represent critical
bands. Unlike the filters used in analog graphic EQs, these filters are very
well behaved over the mel space. At 0dB these filters will pass your au-
dio untouched, and when boost or cut is added, each band will stay
completely independent from it’s neighbor. And unlike some other lin-
ear phase filter implementations, these filters have minimal pre-echo or
2
other time domain artifacts. The overall effect is a very pleasant and
neutral tone modification, which sounds very natural.
By default, the number of bands is set to 26 and they are spread using
the Mel Scale, so that filters should closely represent the critical bands of
human hearing. This means each slider is directly tickling a different sec-
tion of your inner ear. For the purposes of modifying the tonal balance
of a complex sound, this should be the most direct way available.
Additionally, EQuivocate adds a Match EQ feature which allows you
to match or complement the tone of an audio signal streamed to it’s
sidechain input. Because it uses critical bands it provides a true match
without trying to model imperceptible differences which can cause a
match EQ to overfit and sound unnatural.
It’s perfect for EQing any sound source meant to be listened to by hu-
man ears.

Installation and
Instantiation
Newfangled Audio plug-ins are distributed by Eventide and like other
plug-ins Eventide distributes, EQuivocate uses PACE’s ilok.com licensing
system, with or without and iLok hardware dongle. Each license provides
two activations which can reside on either your computer or on an iLok
license dongle. Once youve purchased your plug-in, you’ll need to
register it on Eventide’s website, activate your license, and install the
plug-in on to your computer
3.1 Registering Your Plug-in
When you purchase EQuivocate, you’ll receive a Serial Number and Li-
cense Key. The Serial Number will be two letters followed by 6 numbers.
If you have an individual EQuivocate license, the Serial Number will start
with NQ (i.e. NQ-######). The License Key will be 3 sets of 4 characters,
a letter or a number, each; like XXXX-XXXX-XXXX.
Once youve received these codes, you can register your plug-in on the
Eventide website. To do so, please log in to http://www.eventideaudio.
com, navigate to My Account in the top right corner, and select Reg-
ister a New Product. Then, fill out the form by selecting Native Plug-in
(VST, AU, AAX) in the Product Category field, select EQuivocate in the
Product list, and enter your Serial Number, License Key, and iLok.com
account name. If you don’t yet have an ilok.com account, you can
create one for free at . Once you’ve done so, presshttp://www.ilok.com
Register.
Once you’ve entered this information and pressed the Register button,
Eventide will send the applicable plug-in license to your ilok.com ac-
count, which you will need to activate to your computer or iLok don-
gle.
4
3.2 Activating Your License
To activate and manage your plug-in licenses you’ll need to install PACE’s
iLok License Manager software which you can download from http:
//www.ilok.com. If you don’t have this software installed, please down-
load and install it now.
Once you have installed and launched iLok License Manager you should
be able to log in to your account by clicking the large "Sign In" button
in the upper left hand corner of the application. Once you have, you
should be able to see available licenses by choosing the Available tab
at the top of the iLok License Manager application. If you have suc-
cessfully registered your plugin, your EQuivocate Native license will be
available in this list. Please activate this license by dragging it to either
your computer or iLok dongle listed on the left. When you do so, you
will be asked to confirm the activation, and you will be able to see it by
clicking on the location you have chosen. At this point your license is
activated.
3.3 Installing Your Plug-In
You should have been given a link to the EQuivocate plug-in installer
when you purchased your plug-in, but if you haven’t, you can find down-
loads for all of our plug-ins at .http://www.newfangledaudio.com/downloads
Please download and launch the correct installer for your system.
Once you’ve launched the plug-in installer, it will take you through sev-
eral pages of options. We have tried to choose defaults for these op-
tions which will best serve the majority of users, but it is worth a minute to
make sure you understand these options before clicking through to the
next page. A common issue with Windows VST plug-ins is choosing the
correct VST directory, which can be different on each system. Please
pay special attention to this setting. Once you have followed through
the installer, your plug-ins and presets should be in your chosen locations,
and you can hit finish to end the installer application.
At this point, you should be ready to use your EQuivocate Plug-In.
3.4 Moving or Removing an Activation
If at any point, you decide to move your plug-in activation, you can do
so in iLok license manager. To move an activation between an iLok don-
gle and your computer, simply plug in the iLok, locate the license in its
current location, and drag it to its new location. To deactivate a license,
find it in its location, right click on it, and choose deactivate.
Remember that each EQuivocate Plug-In License comes with two acti-
vations, which can be used on either a computer or iLok dongle, mean-
ing you can use EQuivocate in two locations at the same time.

3.5 Removing or Uninstalling your Plug-In
We’re sure you’ll love your Newfangled Audio plug-ins, but if you ever
want to remove them from your machine it’s as easy as removing the
following files.

Navigation Bar
At the very top of the plug-in is a navigation bar which allows you to
undo and redo changes, access the preset librarian, settings, and man-
age several other global features of the plug-in.
4.1 UNDO/REDO
On the far left is an UNDO and REDO button. After changing any plug-in
parameter in the plug-in interface the UNDO button will activate. Press-
ing it at this point will undo this action. At this point the REDO button will
become active, and pressing it will redo this action. Multiple levels of
undo are available and you can move back through several changes
to reach an earlier state.
4.2 A/B COMPARE
Next you’ll find buttons labeled A/B and A>B. These two buttons allow
you to easily toggle between two states of the plug-in and compare
the sounds. By default the plug-in is in the A state and you’ll notice that
the "A" is highlighted. In this state pressing the A>B button will copy the
A state to the B state. Toggling the A/B button will switch to the B state,
highlighting the "B" and switching the A>B button to B>A (allowing you
to copy the B state to the A state).
Any changes you make in the plug-in interface will update the high-
lighted state. In this way, you can copy the A state of the plug-in to
the B state, make changes to the A state, and use the A/B button to
compare these two states.
7
4.3 LIBRARY
The Library button launches the Preset Librarian which can be used to
explore the plug-ins presets based on any combination of category, au-
thor, tags, or favorites.
The Preset Librarian is split into four main sections.
4.3.1 SEARCH and FILTERS
The top of the Preset Librarian shows the BANKS, SEARCH BAR, and FIL-
TERS.
Typing a phrase into the search bar will allow you to search all the presets
by a given phrase. You can further restrict this search by selecting a
BANK or FILTERS.
Pressing the BANKS button opens a screen which allows you to restrict
your search to the presets in either the FACTORY or USER bank. Or addi-
tional preset banks if you have any installed.
Pressing the FILTERS button opens a screen which allows you to restrict
your search to presets matching a specific CATEGORY, AUTHOR, or one
of several TAGS. Additionally, you can restrict your search to FAVORITES if
desired.
8
4.3.2 PRESET LIST
The bottom of the Preset Librarian shows the list of presets which match
the current criteria. It displays the FAVORITE status using a heart icon, the
preset NAME, the preset CATEGORY, the preset AUTHOR, and the preset
BANK. You can sort the list by any of these. The up and down arrows on
your keyboard will allow you to toggle through the presets.
4.3.3 PRESET INFO
The center right of the Preset Librarian displays information about the
currently loaded preset. This area shows the preset name, a short de-
scription if available, the category, the preset author - including a link to
their work, the preset’s tags, and its bank.
4.3.4 PLUGIN UI
The center left of the Preset Librarian displays a miniature version of the
plug-in UI. This plug-in UI is not editable, but it is live and will show you
the current settings of the plug-in, as well as any meters. We’ve found it
incredibly useful to see this display as we’ve toggled through presets to
get a sense of what each preset does.
9
4.4 PRESET SELECTOR
In the center of the navigation bar is a dropdown preset selector. Click-
ing on this preset selector will show you the plug-ins presets in several
views.
1. All will show you all the presets in alphabetical order.
2. Favorite will show you all your favorite presets in alphabetical order.
3. Filtered will show you all the presets which correspond to the cur-
rent filter in alphabetical order. This filter is set up in the preset librar-
ian.
4. Underneath these the presets are displayed according to their Cat-
egory, as assigned when a preset is saved.
Once you load a preset from this dropdown list the Left and Right arrow
buttons allow you to toggle through the selected subgroup in order. For
more advanced preset selection click the LIBRARY button to enter the
preset librarian.
Additionally, if you like the sound of the current preset you can click the
heart icon to set the loaded preset as a favorite. If a loaded preset is
modified the heart icon will become an asterisk and the preset name is
italicized, indicating that the current sate no longer matches that of the
saved preset.
10
4.5 SAVE
The SAVE button launches the preset save screen where you can save a
preset and assign categories, tags, and descriptions, as well as set the
default state of the plug-in.
4.5.1 PRESET NAME
This field sets the preset name. There can only be one preset with a
given name.
4.5.2 SET AS DEFAULT
This button will set the current state of the plug-in as a plug-ins default.
This means when you load the plug-in the it will default to these set-
tings.
4.5.3 HEART ICON
This will mark this preset as a favorite when you save it.
4.5.4 SAVE BUTTON
This button saves the preset
11
4.5.5 EXPORT BUTTON
In order to be browsed by the plug-in the presets are saved in a partic-
ular folder. However, if you want to save the preset elsewhere on your
computer you can use the EXPORT button to export it as a file.
4.5.6 PLUGIN UI and DESCRIPTION
This section shows the current settings of the plug-in, and how it will ap-
pear in the preset librarian.
4.5.7 CATEGORY
Set the category for the preset you are saving. A preset can have only
one category. If the preset doesn’t fit into any of the existing categories
you can use the [+] button to create a new one.
The existing categories are based on those that are found in the existing
presets. If you create a new one it will appear in this list with an "X" on it.
If you decide not to use the newly created CATEGORY you can remove
it by clicking on the "X". However, once the preset is saved this category
will be permanent and available to all newly saved presets, unless you
delete all presets which use it.
4.5.8 AUTHOR
The AUTHOR section allows you to add your name and a url if you main-
tain a presence on the web. This will be automatically populated with
the information from the last saved preset, so you will only likely need to
enter it once.
4.5.9 TAGS
You can add any number of TAGS to a saved preset. These TAGS will
allow your preset to be found in the preset librarian. It’s best to add the
tags that apply to the preset, and don’t add the ones that don’t. You
can create a new tag using the [+] button.
The existing tags are based on those that are found in the existing pre-
sets. If you create a new one it will appear in this list with an "X" on it.
If you decide not to use the newly created TAG you can remove it by
clicking on the "X". However, once the preset is saved this tag will be
permanent and available to all newly saved presets, unless you delete
all presets which use it.
4.5.10 DESCRIPTION
If desired you can add a short description to the preset. It’s best to use
this field to add information about what a preset is for, or any hints for a
user about how to use it.
12
4.6 SETTINGS
The SETTINGS button pops down a settings page which contains addi-
tional options.
4.6.1 INSTALLED VERSION
This displays the version number that is currently installed. If you are run-
ning the latest version it will tell you. If there is an update an UPDATE
button will appear. Clicking this button will bring you to the downloads
page where you can get the latest version.
4.6.2 USER GUIDE
Pressing the SHOW button will launch this user guide.
13
4.6.3 SHOW METERS
The SHOW METERS button will show or hide the additional meters in the
plug-in. Specifically, turning it off will hide the glow in the RADAR control,
the envelope graph behind the LEVEL DETECTOR section, and the curve
graphic behind the CURVE section.
4.6.4 BRIGHTNESS
The BRIGHTNESS control will control the brightness of the glow in the
RADAR control, the envelope graph behind the LEVEL DETECTOR sec-
tion, and the curve graphic behind the CURVE section.
4.6.5 OPENGL GRAPHICS RENDERING
The USE OPENGL button will enable OpenGL rendering of the UI. For this
setting to take effect you must close and reopen the UI. If you that the
plug-in UI renders better with OpenGL on or off on your computer you
can save this as the default setting and new instantiations will always
load using this setting.
4.6.6 COLOR SCHEME
The COLOR SCHEME dropdown will allow you to choose one of several
different color schemes for your viewing pleasure.
4.6.7 PRESETS FOLDER
Clicking the REVEAL button will bring you to the presets folder. This is only
necessary if you want to share you presets with someone else, or access
these files for another reason.
4.6.8 DEFAULT SETTINGS
Pressing the SAVE button will save all the current settings as the default
for the plug-in. This is useful if you’d like a different starting point than the
one we’ve provided.
4.7 Resize
The bottom right corner of the UI will allow you to resize the plug-in. To
change the default plug-in size drag the plug-in to the desired size and
save over the default preset.

Parameters and Metering
All of EQuivocate’s controls fit on a single page, in this section we will
describe each control and call out some features and tips.
5.1 Controls
EQuivocate has several control types, including vertical and horizontal
sliders, rotary knobs, drop-down menus, and toggle and radio buttons,
all of which have tool-tips which will give you more information about
their function if you hover your mouse above them.
In general, all sliders and knobs can be double clicked to type in a
specific value, option-clicked to return them to their default value, or
command-clicked or control-clicked to enter a vernier mode for fine
tuning. In addition, some controls support special shift-click functional-
ity, such as using shift-swipe to draw and EQ curve, or shift clicking the
gain sliders to set output level compensation. Where available, these
shift-click functions are mentioned in the tool-tips for the individual con-
trols.
Where appropriate, many controls have a related on/off button which
will deactivate this control, or even the entire section. Turning sections
off when you’re not using them can reduce the amount of processing
power used by EQuivocate.
15
5.2 Global Parameters
5.2.1 INPUT AND OUTPUT LEVEL AND BAR METERS
The left and right hand sides of the plug-in have matching vertical bar
meters which display the INPUT (on the left) and OUTPUT (on the right)
levels in levels in Peak (horizontal ticks), RMS (solid bar and numerical
display), and Peak Hold (numerical display) formats. These meters are
always present in the display and clicking the Peak Hold section, or by-
passing the plug-in will clear the held peak value.
Above the INPUT meter is a knob for the MASTER INPUT LEVEL, and above
the OUTPUT meter is an AUTO button which will allow you to automati-
cally compensate for the level change introduced by the EQ, or not.
Alternatively, by clicking the down arrow next to this button, you can
select a knob to manually set the MASTER OUTPUT LEVEL. The MASTER
INPUT LEVEL is just before the INPUT meter and the MASTER OUTPUT LEVEL
is just before the OUTPUT meter. The EQuivocate EQ is linear and floating
point, so it will not saturate your audio at any step in it’s process, but
the INPUT and OUTPUT level can be used to set optimize the meters and
make up for any throughput gain change.
16
5.2.2 ACTIVE
The ACTIVE button is located near the top left of the plug-in UI near the
NEWFANGLED AUDIO label in the header. It activates or bypasses all the
processing in the plug-in.
5.2.3
The symbol engages Delta Listen Mode. When you toggle this but-
ton we subtract the plug-in output from the input to show only what is
changing in the processor. Think of this as what the process is removing.
Careful use of this can be a powerful tool to hear what the plug-in is
doing to your audio.
5.2.4 AUDITORY FILTER BANK
The AUDITORY FILTER BANK selector selects the number of filters and al-
lows you to choose a MEL or CUSTOM spacing. This section is interactive,
selecting a number of filters from the dropdown will automatically space
the filters to a MEL spacing between the current low frequency and high
frequency. If you move the filters so that they are not MEL spaced, the
CUSTOM spacing will highlight reflecting the fact that the meters are no
longer MEL spaced. At this point you can toggle between MEL and your
CUSTOM spacing by toggling the appropriate buttons.
5.2.5 INPUT METERS
The Input Meters toggle switch allows you to toggle the input meters for
each band in the slider field on and off.
5.2.6 OUTPUT METERS
The Output Meters toggle switch allows you to toggle the output meters
for each band in the slider field on and off.
5.2.7 MATCH EQ BUTTON and KNOB
The MATCH EQ BUTTON toggles the match EQ mode on and off. For
MATCH EQ to function correctly you must route an active audio stream
to EQuivocate’s sidechain input. Please consult your DAWs documenta-
tion for help learning how to do so.
Once audio is routed to the sidechain input, when you toggle the MATCH
EQ button and hit play in your DAW, EQuivocate will analyze the differ-
17
ence between the average level coming into its main input and the
average level coming into its sidechain for each band.
If the MATCH EQ KNOB is set to 100% it will modify the band gains such
that the average spectrum of the EQuivocate input now matches the
average spectrum of the EQuvicoate sidechain input. This will, in turn,
make the main input source sound like the sidechain input source. This
can be helpful to blend two tracks to make it sound like they came from
the same source, or to make a final master have a similar tone to a
reference track.
If the MATCH EQ KNOB is set to -100%, EQuivocate will do the opposite
and seek to make the audio source coming in the main input comple-
ment the audio source coming in the sidechain input. This will serve to
make two simultaneous tracks blend in such a way where each is distinct
and easier to hear. They will also compete less with each other.
Sweeping the MATCH EQ KNOB between -100% and 100% and all val-
ues in between will make the function of this feature clear. We suggest
you try it on several different tracks to get a good sense of it’s possibili-
ties.
Finally, when the MATCH EQ button is on, the BAND GAIN SLIDERS are
being controlled by the MATCH EQ algorithm and are locked out from
the UI. The sliders turn the color of the MATCH EQ button to indicate
this.
When you toggle the MATCH EQ button off, the settings determined by
the MATCH EQ BUTTON and KNOB are locked into place, and control
is returned to the user. These control can then be adjusted further to
taste.
5.2.8 RANGE KNOB
EQuivocate’s RANGE KNOB allows you to set the the minimum and max-
imum value of EQuivocate’s GAIN SLIDERS. The slider RANGE can be set
to any value between -24 dB and +24 dB. When RANGE is positive push-
ing a slider up increases the bands gain, but when RANGE is negative
pushing a slider up reduces that bands gain.
By using the range knob you can increase, decrease, and even invert
the effect of an already programmed EQ shape. Additionally, by setting
the range control after using MATCH EQ you can modify an already
locked in MATCH EQ result, or by setting it before using MATCH EQ you
can match the current track to a target track, but only modify each
band up to a value determined by the EQ RANGE knob. This can be
very helpful if you want to apply MATCH EQ to a master without applying
the EQ effect too heavily.
5.2.9 RESET GAINS
Hitting the RESET GAINS button will reset all gain sliders to 0.0 dB.
