Here’s what could be making its way to your plugin library, as reported by gearnews.com:

  • NEED 533 EQ – 5-band parametric EQ
  • NEED 73 CONSOLE EQ – a more traditional take on the preamp & EQ module of the forever
  • NEED 81 CONSOLE EQ – enhanced 73 style EQ with additional high-band frequencies, Q settings, modified filters and a slightly different preamp
  • NEED 84 CONSOLE EQ – Class-AB preamp & EQ unit
  • NEED 31102 CONSOLE EQ – preamp & EQ module with Mid / Side, Stereo, Mono-Sum, Left and Right channel processing matrix
  • NEED PREAMPS – 4 preamp models in 1 (NEED 73, 81, 84, 31102)

NoiseAsh plugins make use of Nuance Deviation System (NDS) technology for individual modelling of the Left/Mid and Right/Side channels. Tech which is the developer’s own.

The NEED 73, 84, and 31102 Console EQ unit emulations all have added mid-bands.

The NEED 533 plug-in packs custom high and low-pass filters too. Anti-aliasing is supported by the analog modelling engine, and the interface of all the plugins are resizable.

Mid/Side processing is also available for each plugin to make full use of the stereo field, going one step further than the original hardware designs.

As we mentioned, the NEED Preamp and EQ Collection bundle are on sale for $150, down from £350.

All NoiseAsh plugins have a Demo Mode where the plugin is muted every 30 seconds. You can download the plugins on up to devices with 1 license with both online and offline activation options available.

The plug-ins work under Windows 7+ and macOS 10.9.5+ in VST3AU, and AAX formats.
