KEYTRACKED EQ

CHAMELEON PANTHER

Camouflaged in your mix. It stalks the notes and pounces on their harmonics.

Tracking a G1 at 49 Hz, bands riding the root and the octave.

EQ that follows the music.

Plenty of EQs know what key you are in. Chameleon Panther tracks the note itself, and puts its bands on that note's harmonics as it moves.

KEYTRACKED

Bands ride harmonics, not frequencies

Four bands sit on chosen partials of the detected fundamental. The bass moves from G to C, the bands move with it.

PARALLEL

Nothing filters your dry path

A sweeping band is a sweeping phase response, so no band sits in the signal path. Boost only, tapped off the dry and summed back in.

MID BY DEFAULT

Mono-safe by construction

Wet added equally to both channels is identical to adding it to Mid alone. The sides come back bit-exact.

TWO DETECTORS

Polyphony doesn't fool it

Chroma analysis finds the key across the full band; a separate tracker on the mono sum places the bands.

DEPTH GATE

No note, no effect

Detection confidence fades bands, tilt and match toward transparent on unpitched material. It never holds a wrong note across a master.

MATCH

Level-matched by measurement

Measures real dry and wet levels instead of estimating from the knobs, so the A/B is honest. On by default.

THE STORE OPENS SHORTLY

Chameleon Panther started life as a guitar pedal. We built a keytracked EQ for guitar pedals, watched it chase the bass around, and thought: what would that do across a whole master? Enough that it needed different maths — the pedal shared one Q across every band, which stops being right once the bands are octaves apart. A happy accident that joined the family late and earned its place. It is built, universal, and passing final in-DAW checks. $49 USD individually, or $199 USD as part of the Elemental Mastering Suite. The store opens shortly; join the list and we'll email you the day it does. $5 from every purchase goes to BC Children's Hospital Foundation.
