What Neural Q V2 does
Tone Empire trained the model on vocals, drums, guitars, full mixes and other instrument phrases, and the network then builds model weights by replicating the analog gear it learned from, which the developer says captures the dynamic behavior of the hardware more faithfully than earlier circuit modelling. The plugin is offered as VST3, AU and AAX on Windows and macOS, and a trial is available.
Queries also surface the VST3 crack, AU crack and AAX crack builds, with a working serial key or activation code often typed beside them, and torrent and magnet link results appear for the Neural Q V2 release.
Key features
- Hi Band control. The Hi Band control boosts or cuts high frequency program material over a range of -15 dB to +15 dB, shaping it in the way the original hardware did.
- Lo Band control. The Lo Band control boosts or cuts low frequency program material over a range of -15 dB to +15 dB.
- Pre-Amp Drive. The Pre-Amp Drive control sets the amount of drive into the analog-style input stage, and higher settings produce a more saturated signal.
- Drive Type selector. Three saturation types are offered in the Pre-Amp module, selected with the Drive Type control.
- Drive On/Off and Output. The Drive On/Off button bypasses or activates the pre-amp saturation module, and the Output control trims the final signal after processing across a range from -24 dB to 0 dB.
- Autogain and presets. Autogain has been implemented in the pre-amp section for convenience, and a set of presets in a few categories is provided to start from.
