If you are tired of looking around the internet for the 'best-sounding, more-authentic and god-knows-what-else' legendary passive EQ plugin collection then you have landed on the right page. First and foremost, Purple2 (VST, AAX, AU) is the result of the meticulous sampling of each one of the included machines. We do not use algos. You get what the machine gives. Secondly, Purple2 is a collection giving you the highest number of different 'Purple-style' [pun intended] equalizers on the market - all in a single place - including some ultra-rare units we managed to find and sample for you. If you had to buy all of this in hardware form it would cost you over €10.000! Now you can have all this at a fraction of the price - and no, you're not going to compromise on the sound.

So, what's with the 'new' models?

You may be wondering why we are introducing another M5 into the Purple2 suite? This is a legitimate question, but very easy to answer: we challenge anyone to find two equal sounding units of this kind. The case of our M5 and M5V is a clear demonstration that two faithfully sampled versions of two different models can have differences in terms of sound. For this reason, when we had the original unit in our hands (from which we derived our M-5V), we were really pleasantly surprised and decided to offer you a new "vintage" plugin, very colorful, given its tube nature, and immediate operation

Plus, you get Purple2 H2, which is a passive tube EQ renowned for the ability to both boost and cut the low-end frequencies at the same time and to add an unmistakable analog flavor to your mix. This emulation is derived from a rare and vintage 2U single channel program EQ designed as a compact version of our Purple P1 with a more transparent character.
Purple2 H-2 differs from its bigger sibling however, in that it has different peak boost curves but the same Class-A output stage as the M5 (mid-band EQ). Perhaps the most noticeable difference is the fixed bandwidth for the HF Boost and fixed high-cut at 12kHz.

The Purple2 P-AA was sampled from a 'modern take' on this exquisite vintage classic, which can now be found in many studios worldwide. You will be surprised at the inherent differences between the two units. There is no such thing as 'which one sounds best?' this time. Purple2 gives you all the possible shades for your mix and YOU are going to be the ultimate judge.

PACKAGE CONTENTS

Purple2 suite includes of:

-Purple2 P1 (Vintage tube-based, passive program Equalizer)
-Purple2 PAA (Tube-based passive program Equalizer reissue)
-Purple2 M5 (Classic mid range tube EQ)
-Purple2 M5V (Vintage classic mid-range tube EQ)
-Purple2 H2 (Vintage single channel tube EQ)

Purple2 is based on our Core 13 engine:

-NEW: Our new Core 13 engine improves on the previous version by introducing our new VLA™ technology (Vector Loading Acceleration), which makes the response of the plugin much faster.
-Upgraded SASM (Symmetric & Asymmetric Saturation Modeling) high-performance saturation algorithm;
-Introduction of a new post-production sample de-noising tech for cleaner deconvolved impulses called STT (Super transient technology);
-Full compatibility with Client/Server architecture integrated by default in Acqua plugins;
-Engine optimization introducing a new highly efficient algorithm. This innovative technique is applied to all the deconvolved impulses for further de-noise processing and subsequent elimination of any incorrect low-level behavior (including the so-called "echo bug").
