CAPTER XANTIMEQ™
The world's first Stem-Aware Neural Dynamic Equalizer engineered in pure 64-bit native C++. Intelligently decouples basslines, drum transient punch, and vocal presence on finished stereo tracks as if mixing from raw multi-track stems—with 0.002s zero phase smearing and analog tape saturation headroom.
Security & Code Integrity Notice: Why do Google Chrome & Windows flag newly compiled native VSTs? ↓
Independent Scientific Audio Engineering: Commercial software monopolies pay thousands of dollars annually for corporate Extended Validation (EV) certificates to bypass browser heuristics. As an independent scientific audio research laboratory, Capter Audio compiles pure, uncompromised 64-bit machine code directly from source (g++ -O3 -mwindows) without corporate bloatware, DRM locks, background telemetry, or third-party tracking.
Our VST packages contain 100% offline, standalone 64-bit native DLLs with zero telemetry, zero adware, and zero background daemons. You simply copy the .dll directly into your standard VST2 directory (C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST2\) and your DAW discovers it immediately.
WHY CAPTER XANTIMEQ™ OUTPERFORMS TRADITIONAL DIGITAL EQS
Standard digital equalizers force producers to choose between smeared transients, phase rotation, and harsh digital clipping. Capter XanTimeQ breaks these acoustic trade-offs through real-time neural transient tracking and analog tape saturation headroom.
Stem-Aware Harmonic Decoupling
Standard digital EQs treat a completed master track as a single flattened frequency spectrum—boosting low-end bloats both the kick drum and bass guitar together. XanTimeQ's proprietary differential C++ engine separates transient attacks from sustained sub-bass weight and isolates vocal overtones from background mix bleed. It gives you the acoustic precision of mixing raw stems directly on a finished 2-track master.
Neural Transient Tracking
Traditional EQs apply static filtering that dulls the initial punch of drums and vocal consonants. XanTimeQ's neural transient engine dynamically tracks audio velocity and envelope transients, adapting in real time so aggressive EQ sculpting preserves razor-sharp punch and micro-dynamics.
0.002s Zero Phase Smearing
Linear-phase EQs introduce muddy pre-ringing on punchy kicks, while minimum-phase filters twist phase angles across your stereo image. XanTimeQ's custom 64-bit Direct Form II transposed biquad engine operates at instantaneous 0.002s speed—delivering pure phase transparency with zero latency.
Harmonic Anti-Boxiness Sieve
The most notorious issue in modern mixing is muddy frequency buildup between 250Hz and 800Hz. Static surgical notches leave tracks sounding thin, hollow, and lifeless. XanTimeQ intelligently decouples muddy acoustic resonance from fundamental warmth, letting vocals and instruments breathe naturally.
Analog Tape Saturation Headroom
Cranking a +6dB high shelf on standard digital EQs causes harsh digital overs and brittle sibilance. XanTimeQ features an integrated analog soft-knee saturation circuit modeled on vintage mastering tape decks. Heavy boosts don't clip—they bloom with rich musical harmonics and silky analog sheen.
Stained Glass Multi-Band GUI
Multi-layer translucent colored fills give you instant intuitive perception of frequency masking across your master chain. Features up to 24 fully configurable surgical bands with floating tactile HUD handles for fast, uncompromised mastering decisions.
Host Teardown Safe Architecture
Compiled in pure, unbloated 64-bit native machine code with zero background telemetry, zero DRM daemons, and 0% GPU overhead. Engineered with isolated Win32 window lifecycles to ensure 100% crash-free stability in FL Studio 2025/21/20, Ableton Live, Reaper, and Cubase.

CAPTER XANTUNE™
The world's first Real-Time Quantum Probability Pitch Shifter engineered in pure 64-bit native C++. Bypasses 50-year-old geophysics autocorrelation delays using angular trajectory prediction, continuous dual-permutation phase alignment, and analog tube saturation headroom. Seamlessly morphs from instant Travis Scott hard-snap to transparent, organic pop vocal tuning.
ENGINEERED FOR LIVE VOCALS & PRISTINE PITCH LOCK
Traditional auto-tune plugins force vocalists to fight between 40ms monitoring latency, audible glitching on speech consonants, and thin, plastic digital tone. Capter XanTune solves every latency and acoustic bottleneck.
Quantum Predictive Pitch Tracking
Traditional vocal tuners rely on 1970s seismic autocorrelation that must wait 10–20 milliseconds for sound waves to complete full periodic cycles. XanTune computes angular phase trajectories in real time, locking true fundamental pitch in sub-millisecond intervals without octave leaps or latency lag.
Dual-Permutation Harmonic Buffer
Standard dual-delay pitch shifters generate hollow comb-filtering, metallic phasing, and boxy artifacts during note transitions. XanTune modulates read-head indices through an inactive parabolic reaction curve with Golden Ratio phase knots, eliminating splicing seams entirely.
Unvoiced Consonant & Silence Shield
Natural speech contains unpitched consonants ('s', 't', 'k', 'p') and breath pauses. XanTune's differential energy gate automatically isolates unpitched speech and passes it through 100% clean dry audio—preventing the crunchy clicks, crackles, and background hiss common in standard auto-tunes.
Analog Warmth & Dynamic Hyperbolic Headroom
Clinical pitch shifting often strips vocals of warmth, producing a cold, sterile texture. XanTune features an integrated analog tube drive and a dynamic hyperbolic saturation limiter, giving your tuned lead vocals rich chest resonance, harmonic sheen, and analog console warmth.
