MPEQ1 Update 1.0.2 — Sharper Graphics, Smoother Controls & CPU Deep-Dive

MPEQ1 update 1.0.2 is here. In this walkthrough I go through everything included in today's release, show a few of the new controls in action, explain what we're still working on, and break down exactly what drives CPU usage in the plugin so you can dial it in for your system. Huge thanks to all the early adopters who jumped in on the trial and the full version — your feedback shaped this update. We're on it, and we're going to get this thing right. ▬▬▬ WHAT'S IN 1.0.2 ▬▬▬ • Higher-resolution, sharper graphics + refined knob design • Snappier, more responsive controls and smoother UI rendering • Smoother, cleaner gain changes (no more zippering) • New master distortion bypass switch • Scroll-wheel shape control (hold Ctrl/Cmd) • Click-and-drag toggle switches • Fixed loud spikes when moving the drive knob quickly • Faster EQ curve auto-ranging + a resolution lock • Bug fixes: clicks/pops on playback, filter Q recall, UI cut-off on recall, hover readout, Windows CI & licensing ▬▬▬ WHAT'S NEXT ▬▬▬ • A new way to manipulate knobs/dials that keeps the hardware look but is far easier to use • Range adjustment for the spectrum analyzer • Ongoing CPU optimization ▬▬▬ CHAPTERS ▬▬▬ 0:00 Intro & thanks to early adopters 1:00 What's in the 1.0.2 update 2:02 Sharper, higher-resolution graphics 2:53 Snappier controls & smoother UI rendering 3:28 Smoother, cleaner gain changes 3:43 Master distortion bypass switch 3:54 Shape control via scroll wheel (Ctrl/Cmd modifier) 5:11 Click-and-drag toggle switches 6:00 Fixing the loud drive-knob spikes 6:43 Faster EQ curve auto-range + resolution lock 9:12 Bug fixes 10:50 What's next: a better knob/dial interface 13:34 Spectrum analyzer range adjustment 14:47 Understanding CPU usage 16:17 Neural network models & CPU cost 20:05 Mono vs. stereo: CPU doubles 20:52 Closing-UI CPU behavior (M3/M4) 21:22 Intel system fixes 22:17 Oversampling & neural networks 24:00 Wrap-up & what's coming If you're still seeing unusual CPU behavior with all neural network models off, let us know — we're sorting it out across every setup. #MPEQ1 #Undertone #EQplugin MPEQ1, Undertone, Undertone Audio, MPEQ1 plugin, EQ plugin, equalizer plugin, audio plugin, VST plugin, mixing plugin, harmonic distortion, neural network plugin, plugin update, 1.0.2 update, music production, mixing and mastering, home studio, audio engineering, analog EQ emulation, parametric EQ, saturation plugin, CPU usage plugin, DAW plugin, record mixing, pro audio
