RETROLOGY: Motown

The Retro Music-Tone is a 7-band passive equalizer plug-in emulation of the hardware version used exclusively by Motown engineers.

Like in the original hardware units, we have recreated the proportional Q which means that there is no adjustable Q bandwidth : small boost/cuts have a very broad Q and greater boost/cuts have a narrower one. You just have to adjust the gain of each fixed frequencies (from -8dB to +8dB) according to taste and the resulting tonal color.

Like his brother above, the Retro Film-Tone is a 7-band passive equalizer with fixed frequencies and Proportional Q emulation of the hardware version used exclusively by Motown engineers.
