KEY FEATURES
Analog Warmth – Move away from all digital processing and bring real analog processors into your mix – and keep all the benefits of digital control. Internal, professional grade, 32bit audio converters running up to 192kHz for transparent audio translation. Ultra-low-jitter audio synchronization between host and hardware for bit-perfect audio.
Hassle-free Analog – Connected simply by USB-C means the hassles of spaghetti-cabling or complex audio setup in your software are gone. Simply Plug & Play via USB!
Zero Recall – Recall all of your analog settings instantly within the plugin. No longer do you need to deal with the pain of trying to replicate settings on your analog kit.
Multi-Instance Analog – Multiple analog processing circuits allow more than one audio signal to be processed at the same time within your digital workflow. This is impossible with single circuit analog processors. FT-1 multi-instance powerhouse VST & AU plugin has a perfect virtual representation of the hardware that operates with up to two stereo, or four mono, plugin instances.
Fully Automated – Automate all analog controls along with audio through the plugin. Forget your MIDI patchbay, CV converter, daisy chains and complicated routing.

^ Freqtube is a real-time hardware based plugin and as such off-line rendering cannot be used in your DAW project. This may be different from your usual workflow.
Before using any real-time plugin, and before using freqtube , its important that your system can playback your DAW projects in real-time without any dropouts.
Freqport system runs separately to the main audio I/O used in the DAW. Use a Core Audio or ASIO audio interface as you DAW main interface and run your DAW project at low latency (preferably 512 samples or lower) without audio dropouts before using freqtube.
* Freqport system uses under 100MB RAM however it is highly recommended to have memory overhead for any real-time audio project.
