Pulsar Audio Blue Bundle

Pulsar MP-EQ & VM-COMP [Bundle]

Mastering-Grade Equalization and Compression

The Pulsar MP-EQ & VM-COMP Bundle brings together two high-end analog-modelled processors designed for precise, musical control of tone and dynamics.
Both plugins are detailed component-level recreations of classic mastering hardware, expanded with modern workflow features for today’s production environments.

MP-EQ — Passive Tube Equalizer with Linear Phase Correction

Pulsar MP-EQ is a faithful emulation of a world-renowned passive equalizer, redesigned for digital precision. It reproduces the original inductor, tube, and transformer circuitry while introducing an optional Linear Phase Correctionmode — a first for this type of analog-style EQ.

Key Features

• Linear Phase Correction – Realigns all frequencies after the EQ stage for pristine transient accuracy and zero phase shift.
• Passive Parallel Topology – Smooth, natural tonal shaping with intuitive frequency interaction.
• Inductor and Tube Modeling – Captures the organic saturation and subtle compression of the original hardware.
• Curve Editor & Spectrum Analyzer – Visual editing with real-time feedback.
• Drive Control – Adjust the amount of analog-style harmonic coloration.
• Mid/Side Processing – Process mono and stereo information independently.
• Transformer Options – Switch between Original, Colorful, and Clean output stages.
• Oversampling & Resizable Interface – High-resolution processing up to 384 kHz, with flexible GUI scaling.

Applications
MP-EQ excels on the mix bus and in mastering, where transparency and musicality are critical. It also brings warmth and focus to vocals, acoustic instruments, and full mixes without phase distortion.

VM-COMP — Variable-Mu Tube Compressor with Extended Timings

Pulsar VM-COMP is an accurate model of the legendary variable-bias tube compressor, capable of transparent dynamic control and natural “glue.” It preserves the circuit’s musical response while adding new flexibility through Extended Timings and a Complete Sidechain EQ section.

Key Features

• Extended Timing Ranges – Faster attack and release settings for more aggressive or mid-forward compression styles.
• Complete Sidechain EQ – Four-band visual EQ to shape detector response precisely.
• Topology Preservation Technology – Models tubes, transformers, and control circuits in detail.
• External Sidechain Input – Enables ducking, de-essing, or rhythm-based compression.
• Mid/Side Processing – Independent control over stereo field dynamics.
• Look-Ahead / Look-Behind – Shift gain-reduction timing for transient accuracy or punch.
• Visualization – Real-time waveform and gain-reduction metering for clear adjustment.
• Low CPU Usage & Oversampling – Efficient performance with optional 384 kHz precision mode.

Applications
VM-COMP is ideal for mastering, bus compression, and critical mixing. It provides natural, musical control for drums, vocals, acoustic sources, and complete mixes without unwanted pumping or distortion.

The Perfect Pair for Mixing and Mastering

Used together, MP-EQ and VM-COMP form a mastering-grade signal chain that delivers both tonal balance and dynamic consistency.

• MP-EQ shapes frequency response and harmonic structure.
• VM-COMP provides smooth, cohesive compression with optional color and sidechain control.

The combination offers the warmth and depth of classic analog equipment with the precision and workflow advantages of modern software.
