A New Era in Equalization With Eventide SplitEQ

At first glance, it’s a parametric EQ with 8 bands of precise musical filters. What’s new and different is Eventide’s powerful Structural Split engine divides the incoming audio into separate Transient and Tonal streams that feed the 8 bands of “Split” parametric EQ.

About Eventide SplitEQ

This approach is musically useful and makes common EQ problems easy to solve, even in a complex mix.

• Want to soften the transients? Use the master Transient Gain slider.
• Remove plosives or de-ess? EQ only the Transient.
• Reduce snare ring? Put a filter on the Tonal mids.

Batteries Included

SplitEQ comes with a Factory Library of over 150 presets to solve many of today’s standard corrective and complex mixing problems in a cleaner and faster way. The presets are designed to Enhance, Repair, Rebalance and Widen various instruments including drums, vocals, guitar, and more. A/B comparison and Undo/Redo make it easy to explore ideas without losing where you started.

Structural Split

The beating heart of SplitEQ analyzes the incoming audio and separates it into two separate streams:

• Transient (Noise, pops, mic plosives, vocal sibilance, attacks)
• Tonal (Sustained notes, harmonics, tone, ambience)

8-Band Parametric EQ

SplitEQ’s filters are state-of-the-art, pristine and musical. The User Interface has been designed to streamline workflow. Add sheen to vocals without boosting sibilance or harshness. Enhance acoustic guitar harmonics while reducing string buzz.

Stereo Imaging

Continuous L/R or Mid/Side panning of the Transient and Tonal components for each of the eight bands.

Graphical Display

High-res, real-time, spectrum analysis of audio components with multiple options for monitoring or comparison. SplitEQ also features Peak and RMS metering.

Eventide SplitEQ Applications

Enhance

With independent control of the Tonal and Transient elements of an instrument, SplitEQ can be used to deliver punch, detail, sheen, breathiness, diction, tightness, thump, and pluck.

Repair

A unique audio repair and restoration tool, SplitEQ allows you to surgically tune the Transient and Tonal response independently. Remove a kick drum’s boom without losing its thump.

Rebalance

SplitEQ allows versatile track placement in a mix. Easily perform multiple tasks not possible with any other EQ, like softening electric guitar strums while boosting cab reverb.

Widen

SplitEQ allows for precise multi-band stereo image manipulation of the Tonal and Transient elements of each frequency band. L/R and Mid/Side panning are supported. Spatialize a beat like never before.
