03In depth

Parallel 10-Band Architecture and Variable Q

Each of the 10 bands follows the octave-based layout, giving a clear mapping between the control and the frequency it affects. Kuassa describes the design as parallel, which means each band is processed in its own path, so adjusting one band is meant to leave the others isolated.

The bands use a variable Q, so you can shape the width of each adjustment. Kuassa states that its proprietary Protean Algorithm aims for smooth curves with minimal phase issues or comb filtering, and that the response stays consistent whether you boost or cut.

Single-Screen Workflow and Plugin Formats

The interface is a straightforward single screen, and the window is resizable, which helps when you want more room to read the curve in a busy session. The plugin is also available as an Amplifikation 360 module.

EFEKTOR Paten ships in VST3, VST2, AU and AAX formats for Windows and macOS. AAX requires Pro Tools 11 or later, and the Reason Rack Extension format requires Reason 7.1 or later.
