APPENDIX 12
The FilterBank presets are inspired by EQs such as the Neve 1084, Avalon 2055,
GML 8200, Manley, and Pultec and include lots of very useful settings for use
with guitars, vocals, bass, drums, and so forth.
The delay incurred by any of the FilterBank plug-in con gurations is just three
samples on Pro Tools HD systems. This is the absolute minimum number of
delay samples a TDM plug-in can have. McDSP plug-ins are designed in this
manner to provide the user with the closest analog mixing console experience
possible (analog inserts such as EQ and compression do not cause any
noticeable processing delay when inserted into a track).
Each plug-in has Input and Output gain controls, a frequency vs amplitude
graph showing the  lter response curve, and a pair of bar graph meters showing
the input and output levels and an enable/disable button for each  lter. These
buttons each have a green ‘LED’ indicator to show when the  lter is enabled.
occurring and simulate the over-driven sound of analog gear. Many of
FilterBank’s features, such as the Peak-Slope-Dip shelving EQ control, remain
unique, while others, such as Analog Saturation Modelling, are industry  rsts.
