If you want FilterBank Native on a Black Friday deal, McDSP's v7 EQ and filter collection is 62% off at $49 until Nov 23, 2026.
FilterBank Native is the Native version of McDSP's FilterBank. The HD version for AAX DSP users is a separate product.
The maker says it can emulate any EQ, tube or solid state, vintage or modern. You can also adjust the filter design and the key equalizer parameters, or build a custom EQ of your own.
Three plugins come in the package:
The parametric EQ covers 20Hz to 21kHz, with a bell up to 5 octaves wide, +/-12dB of gain and Constant-Q technology.
Shelving bands give you separate control of frequency, gain, peak, slope and dip. Lowpass and highpass filters have an adjustable slope and a resonant peak above 24 dB.
Bandpass and band reject filters are in there too, and the Q range runs from 0.2 to 12.0.
Every EQ and filter band has analog saturation modelling, which McDSP says is there to prevent digital clipping. You get up to 48 bands per MIX dsp.
The v7 feature list reads like this:
Zero latency means you can leave an instance on a tracked channel without shifting anything against the rest of the session. Double precision processing keeps the maths at 64-bit float inside the plugin.
FilterBank Native runs in AAX Native, AU and VST3. From v7.0 onward the VST format is dropped, so any v6 McDSP plugins installed as VST get removed and receive no further updates.
McDSP lists compatibility with Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Cubase, Nuendo, Ableton Live, LUNA, Reaper, Sonar and Studio One, plus other DAWs that support AAX, AU or VST3.
On Mac you need macOS 10.13 or higher, 64-bit only, and the plugins run natively on Intel and M1 Apple Silicon. On Windows, McDSP lists Windows 7, 8 and 10, 64-bit only.
Activation goes through an iLok2 or iLok3 USB Smart Key, or a free iLok License Manager account with an iLok Cloud session.
Yes. The FilterBank Native v7 Black Friday deal is 62% off, bringing it to $49, and it ends Nov 23, 2026. It is the Native version of McDSP's EQ and filter collection, separate from the HD version for AAX DSP.
The bundle ships with three EQs: the E6060 emulates a console-type parametric, the F202 handles steep high and low cuts, and the P606 is a parametric whose Q behavior can be switched between modes. Between them they cover parametric, shelving, lowpass, highpass, bandpass and band reject filtering.
v7 supports AAX Native, AU and VST3. Version 7.0 drops VST support entirely, so any VST builds of the v6 McDSP plugins stop receiving updates and get removed during installation.
Yes. McDSP plugins are authorised with an iLok2 or iLok3 USB Smart Key, or with a free iLok License Manager account and an iLok Cloud session. Each v7 license includes two activations.
