Q/Bandwidth
If you move the mouse over the "handles" on the side of the band, you can
adjust the Q or bandwidth of the EQ by dragging with the mouse and widening
the band. If you have a wheel mouse, you can use the mouse wheel to
widen/narrow a selected band.
Selecting Filter Shapes
Nectar provides the ability to set the type or shape of any of the eight EQ nodes.
A number of new filters are available:
Flat Lowpass/Highpass
These are Butterworth filters; optimized for maximum flatness without ripple or
resonance in the passband or stopband.
Brickwall Lowpass/Highpass
These are elliptic filters; optimized for steepness with minimal ripple in the pass-
band and stopband.
Vintage Low Shelf/High Shelf
These high and low shelf filters exhibit a complimentary frequency dip modeled
after the renowned Pultec analog equalizer creating a complex slope with one
node.
Resonant Low Shelf/High Shelf
These high and low shelf filters exhibit a complimentary resonance at both ends
of the filter slope creating a complex shape with one node.
