B.S KeyQ8 - Polyphonic Midi Controlled EQ

Transform Ableton's EQ Eight into a powerful, MIDI-controlled instrument with B.S KeyQ8. This device lets you "play" the bands of an EQ Eight using MIDI notes, turning a standard mixing tool into a creative powerhouse for sound design. Synthesize ethereal melodies on top of pads, create dynamic tuned distortion, or build unique resonant textures with polyphonic control. With a simple one-click mapping process, you can set it up in seconds and start exploring.

Key Features:

• Playable EQ Bands: Control the frequency of EQ Eight bands with MIDI notes. The note velocity controls the gain, effectively turning the EQ into a polyphonic instrument.
• One-Click Mapping: Quickly connect the device to any EQ Eight on your track with a single click to start playing instantly.
• Attack & Release Envelope: Shape the dynamic response of your EQ bands with dedicated Attack and Release controls for smooth swells and fades.
• Sustain & Polyphonic Modes: Choose how the device handles notes, from standard polyphonic control to a "sustain" mode that lets you set and hold the parameters of each of the eight bands sequentially.
• Global Controls: Easily adjust the resonance of all bands simultaneously with a Global Q control and add expression with full pitch bend support.
