Freak-Q 是一款 MaxforLive 设备，可以说是具有 2048 个频段的图形均衡器。虽然这在技术上并不准确，但有助于了解此设备的功能以及它如何影响信号。 Freak-Q 基于快速傅里叶变换，而不是实际的滤波器将信号分成频带。请记住，所有 2048 个频段始终是固定的，并且在整个频谱中均等放置，因此使用更高的采样率会降低分辨率。质量保持不变，但听起来会有所不同。要更改每个频带的幅度，此插件使您能够绘制曲线并使用可自动化的参数将它们修改到以前从未做过的扩展。这会产生有趣且通常无法预测的结果，这使得该插件非常适合实验。这个均衡器不是为了平衡混音而设计的，它是为了扭曲频谱并产生谐波或奇怪的改变声音。
Freak-Q is a MaxforLive device that can be described as a graphic equalizer with 2048 bands. Although this is technically not accurate it helps to understand what this device does and how it affects the signal. Instead of actual filters to split the signal into bands, Freak-Q is based on a fast Fourier transformation. Keep in mind that all 2048 bands are always fixed and equally placed across the frequency spectrum and therefore using a higher sample rate will lower the resolution. The quality stays the same, but it will sound different. To change the amplitude of every frequency band this plugin gives you the ability to draw curves and modify them with automatable parameters to an extend that has never been done before. This creates interesting and often unpredictable results, which makes this plugin good for experimentation. This equalizer is not designed to balance a mix, it is meant to distort the frequency spectrum and to create harmonics or weird altered sounds.
