Show HN: Max Studio Tools (C++ DSP Modules for Max and Ableton Live)

Nyquist Limited released Max Studio Tools, a suite of C++ DSP modules for Max/MSP and Ableton Live that emulates classic studio gear including 5 equalizers and 5 compressors, each supporting optional oversampling up to 8x. The open-source project builds on code from Airwindows, lkjb, and other DSP projects, with build scripts tested on macOS and Windows cross-compilation via mingw-w64.

This is a suite of Max/MSP externals covering essential studio gear. It includes the following device emulations: Air EQ : Transparent equalizer with broad high-frequency band Bloom EQ : Passive equalizer with dual boost/cut bands and tube saturation Contour EQ : Wide-shelf equalizer with two model variants for broad tonal shaping Focus EQ : Solid state equalizer with precise control and console saturation Silk EQ : Smooth, musical equalizer with transformer saturation Glide Compressor : Optical compressor with flexible controls for transparent shaping Level Compressor : Optical compressor with smooth leveling and program-dependent timing Punch Compressor : FET compressor with ultra-fast attack and aggressive character Smooth Compressor : Vari-mu compressor with vintage character and program-dependent compression Snap Compressor : VCA compressor with precise dynamic control and clean transient shaping Each device supports optional oversampling up to 8x.
