Midrange harmonic control: blend even and odd harmonics and steer where the warmth lands.
The Firewaves interface, mid-range presence, plainly controlled.
CHARACTER gates the antisymmetric cross-term between warm even-order and gritty odd-order harmonics, measured near-flat in level across its full sweep, no volume trick disguised as tone.
A HeadBumpSaturator topology ported from Groundwaves and recalibrated 10x hotter for mid-band energy, unconditionally bounded, no hard clamps.
A single log-mapped 400Hz–4kHz bandpass with a live center-frequency readout in Hz, not a fixed EQ band.
Two-tone IMD testing puts the current engine at 0.2–1.6% hash, versus 43–46% for the exact-harmonic engine it replaced.
Two cascaded HP/LP filter stages, ~24dB/oct each, keep generated harmonics out of Groundwaves' and Airwaves' frequency lanes.
The Δ button solos only the harmonic content Firewaves is generating, nothing else, so you can dial in Tone and Character by ear before committing to the blend.
Firewaves is code-signed, notarized by Apple, and passing auval and pluginval. $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.
