Radically musical, creative timbre shaper
SurferEQ2 is a ground-breaking pitch-tracking equalizer plug-in that tracks a monophonic instrument or vocal and moves the filter with the music.
We’ve teamed up with Mix with the Masters and are happy to bring you a special edition version which we fondly named SurferEQ2 Boogie.
Synthesizer filters can track the pitch to maintain the timbre of the sound throughout the instrument’s voices. However, sound equalizers have always been static. While they are effective for broad tone-shaping and room resonance correction, standard EQs do a poor job at maintaining the vocal or instrument’s timbre as the music changes.
SurferEQ 2 allows me to easily have a kick drum and a sub-heavy 808 coexist without sacrificing the integrity of either. I won’t mix without it.”

KEY FEATURES
Unique filter algorithms
We’ve made every effort to preserve the size, energy and transients of the sound source while developing SurferEQ 2’s filters algorithms (No cookbook EQs here!). SurferEQ 2’s analog-like, asymmetric filters sound natural even when pushed to extremes.
In addition to the HIGH-PASS, LOW-PASS, SHELF and BELL-shaped filters, we’ve developed a unique, four-mode HARMONIC FILTER which enables to control the entire harmonic series of an instrument using just a single band of EQ.
Superior pitch detection
One of the biggest challenges in designing a real-time pitch-detection algorithm is avoiding octave errors while keeping the algorithm efficient enough for real-time processing. We’ve spent over a year researching and meticulously developing an accurate, real-time pitch-detection engine with virtually no octave errors.
