Tone, Enhance, Lofi & Shape

Each BeatQuake control knob offers a unique tonal character. Experiment with individual dials or combine them to create distinctive tonal blends…

• TONE : Inspired by the legendary Pultec EQs and a renowned modern multiband exciter, this control adds a unique blend of classic warmth and harmonic enhancement. Achieve the smoothest V-shape sound with a single twist, serving as the perfect final touch to your beats.
• ENHANCE : Boosts the attack power and aggression of your beats, increasing their dynamics and delivering musically rich sub-harmonic low-end power.
• LOFI : Add tonal variation and replicate the unique texture of 12-bit samplers with a single knob, producing a wide modern LoFi effect. 
• SHAPE : Introduces inflation, combined with a high-quality compressor algorithm. This provides precise dynamic control over fluctuating sounds, which is especially useful for 808s or highly dynamic tracks.

Color Your Beats

BeatQuake features 4 unique psychoacoustic pre-filtering color modes that can be dialled in via the central control: SHOCK, RIFT, TREMOR, and FAULT. Designed and developed over two years, these color modes go beyond traditional saturation effects by preserving transients, enhancing sustain, and maintaining low-end vibrancy - all with one-knob functionality

• SHOCK : Punches up attack and strength while keeping the low-end clean and powerful.
• RIFT : Introduces a gritty, textured sound by stretching sustain and enhancing rumble.
• TREMOR : Delivers immense low-end power for earth-shaking beats.
• FAULT : Enhances above 60Hz, offering a clean gain boost for clarity and polish.

Visual Feedback, Comparison & Control

BeatQuake is built on vector graphics with a resizable interface. Accurately monitor your audio with the Input / Output faders. For those who like to experiment, contrast different processing chains with AB comparison and copy / paste. Use the undo / redo buttons to revert any changes. Compensate for gain increases with the AGC button and use the onboard Limiter to prevent clipping. 

Powerful Presets

BeatQuake offers an extensive suite of presets and a powerful snapshot manager. One-click to load presets for all kinds of drums, percussion, breakbeats, and other types of audio. These jumping-off points are ripe for tweaking to create the perfect transformations. Save and categorize your own creations as presets for future recall.
