FAC Polyflo vs GtrEQ

• AUv3 plugin to modulate and sequence MIDI instruments and modular hardware • Outputs MIDI and analog CV simultaneously for integrated hybrid setups • Fully functional in software-only environments with full MIDI support • Converts LFOs, MIDI notes, pitch, and control changes into control voltages • Includes two LFO generators with random spline, cross-modulation and syncing • Integrated envelope follower to track audio input or sidechain signal • Six FLO(W) processors for combining and shaping signals with math and logic • Each FLO supports 18 inputs with individual polarity, divider and multiplier • Multi-out support, built-in waveform viewer, Audio FX, and MIDI FX • Advanced Responsive Design, portrait and landscape views • Universal Purchase: AUv3 for iOS (iPad/iPhone), macOS and Vision Pro FAC Polyflo is an AUv3 plugin for modulating and sequencing MIDI instruments and modular gear via control voltage. It outputs MIDI and analog CV simultaneously, making it well-suited for hybrid setups that combine digital and analog equipment. The plugin includes two LFO generators offering 10 waveforms, including classic shapes and random spline, with support for cross-modulation and syncing. It also features an envelope follower that tracks audio FX input or an external sidechain. The generated signals, together with the host clock and MIDI input, are fed into six independent FLO(W) processors. These processors combine, shape, and route inputs using math operations, conditional logic, and comparators. Each FLO includes individual polarity, division, and multiplication controls, providing deep and flexible modulation that balances chaotic creativity with precise timing. Each FLO processor output is connected to its own output bus, enabling easy integration with hardware via DC-coupled audio interfaces like the Expert Sleepers ES-9. For simpler setups, FLO outputs can be routed to the stereo output. FAC Polyflo can also convert MIDI notes, pitch, and control changes into control voltages, making it a powerful MIDI-to-CV solution. If you prefer to work exclusively with software, the plugin runs smoothly in software-only environments with full MIDI support, making it equally suited for purely digital workflows. FAC Polyflo works as both an Audio Unit FX and MIDI FX, featuring a clean, touch-optimized interface with precise control and waveform visualization. It’s available as an AUv3 for iOS (iPad/iPhone), macOS, and Vision Pro, and requires a compatible AUv3 host app to run. This is an AUv3 Effect and requires a compatible host to work The documentation is available at fredantoncorvest.com/FAC_Polyflo.html

GtrEQ Guitar EQ & Buzz Kill (AUv3) GtrEQ is an audio effect plugin that can run standalone, or in any AU compatible host application such as Logic Pro or GarageBand. Overview GtrEQ is a 5-band EQ / tone-shaping effect made specifically for guitar players, with the 5 bands focused across the frequency spectrum where the guitar typically lives. The peak / resonance of each band is also more gentle compared to general-purpose EQs, so adjacent bands are very "interactive". This makes GtrEQ well suited for overall guitar tone "sculpting", as opposed to the surgical precision needed for targeting specific frequencies. GtrEQ also includes an optional "Buzz Kill" filter to help reduce mains hum noise. This buzzing can be a problem sometimes with single coil pickup guitars. Depending on your situation, GtrEQ might not be able to kill the buzz completely, but it should help reduce it significantly without impacting your original guitar tone too much. Controls Buzz Kill - Sets the target frequency of the mains hum noise filters which will depend on where you are in the world. For example, UK is 50Hz and US is 60Hz. Setting the control to Off will bypass the mains hum filters entirely. Reduction - Sets how much attenuation is applied to the mains hum noise. Ideally, you want to set this control so the noise is no longer noticeable, or is at least at a "manageable" level. Buzz Kill processing has been designed so that the original guitar signal is impacted as little as possible, but you may notice a less "full" guitar tone when the Reduction amount is at maximum. Buzz Kill processing, when enabled, occurs before the EQ section. EQ - Switches the EQ On or Off. This is a "soft switch" so is well suited for automation / MIDI CC control if your host supports it. EQ Bands - Sets a +/-12dB boost or cut for each of the labelled frequency bands. You can think of each band as affecting bass, low mids, high mids, treble and presence, but because of their interactivity, they don't work independently. You might be surprised by the range of tones you can get with just five bands! Out - Applies a final stage gain trim to the output at the very end of the internal signal chain, between -24dB and +12dB. Shameless plug alert... ANALOGyAMP GtrEQ partners really well with ANALOGyAMP, a retro guitar amp simulator. Placing GtrEQ before ANALOGyAMP in the signal chain allows GtrEQ to function as a boost, effectively driving the input stage of ANALOGyAMP harder. ANALOGyAMP has actually been designed to "take pedals well" albeit virtual ones! You could also use the EQ section in GtrEQ to accentuate the mid frequencies more, and roll-off the bass and treble sides in a similar way to a very famous green overdrive pedal when used primarily as a mid boost. And if you use a MIDI controller, you could potentially have four different virtual channels from two controller switch assignments, with no pops or clicks when you flip between them: SW1 - Toggle Channel Gain on ANALOGyAMP (clean / crunch for example) SW2 - Toggle EQ on GtrEQ (bypass / mid boost for example) Alternatively, place GtrEQ after ANALOGyAMP to sculpt your tone further, with an EQ specifically designed for guitar.
