Focus

Bitwig

Focus is a component-model EQ inspired by the renowned Pultec MEQ-5, designed as a mid-focused equalizer with pre-set frequency choices in a sound's power regions. It combines the classic Pultec topology with variable Color options (Clean, Tube, and Transistor saturation modes) and modern features like Stereo-ize capability and visual EQ curve displays. The plugin excels at surgical tonal shaping with the flexibility to either work standalone or integrate with other saturation devices.

Key Features

01Three-band EQ with Low Boost, Cut, and High Boost sections
02Three Color saturation options: Clean, Tube (all-harmonic warmth), and Transistor (odd-harmonic emphasis)
03Stereo-ize option with variable Amount control for stereo tilting and Mid–Side processing
04Pre-set frequency choices in power regions for intuitive mid-focused shaping
05Onscreen EQ gain curve visualization on device panel and Mixer Panel

Things to Try

  • 01Use Clean Color mode for surgical operation before adding your own saturation device
  • 02Switch to Tube Color for all-harmonic warmth similar to the original MEQ-5
  • 03Apply Transistor Color mode for odd-harmonic emphasis and distinctive midrange drive
  • 04Use Stereo-ize with Mid–Side mode to push frequencies and gain in either the left or right channel for width control
