The release of Solid State Logic’s Native 6.3 introduces the new X-EQ 2 plug-in as part of the SSL Native studio plug-ins series, providing users authorisation of SSL Native licenses onto a computer instead of a physical iLok dongle. All SSL Native 6.3 plug-ins can now be authorised to a computer. 

X-EQ 2 replaces the existing X-EQ plug-in with a new-look graphical interface, re-written algorithms and new features. SSL’s proprietary ‘anti-cramping’ DSP ensures a smooth and transparent EQ plug-in while X-EQ 2 now supports the creation of up to 24 EQ bands with a choice of 17 classic and modern different filter shapes and EQ types.

Other new features include M/S processing modes, Band Solo and extra analysis tools including Phase and Step response plots. X-EQ 2 also features significant DSP optimisation, so the computer’s CPU load is kept exceedingly low.

For all existing Duende Native and SSL Native customers, v6.3 is a free update. Existing iLok licenses that say ‘SSL Duende Native’ in their iLok License Manager account will continue to authorise with v6.3. X-EQ 2 can be used with an existing Duende Native X-EQ iLok license; a free upgrade for existing X-EQ customers. Existing and new SSL Native subscription holders will automatically see their X-EQ iLok licence change to an X-EQ 2 license for the duration of their subscription as part of the SSL Native plug-in suite.

SSL Native v6.3 plug-ins are available in AAX, VST3/VST2 and AU formats, 64-bit only, costing US$14.99/month subscription, as well as under permanent license purchased from the SSL web store.
