CrossOver: Your Frequency Splitting Tool
Precise audio work requires control over frequencies. The CrossOver plugin from Robin Schmidt offers a solution – it splits the incoming signal into several (up to 4) independent bands. This VST plugin for Windows (Win32) is a fundamental utility tool for advanced processing, not an effect.
Features and Applications
CrossOver offers the following features:
- Flexible Band Splitting: Split the signal into 2, 3, or 4 bands for complete control.
- Foundation for Multiband Effects: Use in hosts with routing to create your own multiband processors, directing the bands to separate effect chains (compression, EQ, distortion, etc.).
- Effective “Bass Effects”: Implement the “dry bass” technique by processing only high frequencies while preserving the integrity of the low-frequency foundation.
- Linkwitz-Riley Filters: Ensure clean band separation without phase issues.
- Customizable Slope: Control the filter cutoff from 12 to 96 dB/octave.
- Hierarchical Structure: For >2 band splitting, the separation occurs hierarchically.
CrossOver is an indispensable tool for those seeking deep control over frequency content. Ideal for creating unique processing based on frequency splitting.
