A Physics-Driven Equalizer Derived from Real Circuits
From the Physicist's Bench to Your DAW
For decades, digital equalizers have attempted to recreate the sound of analog hardware - yet something essential has often been missing: the physical interaction between components that gives real circuits their depth, motion, and musical response.
Gyrator X was created to solve exactly that.
Developed by physicist, circuit designer, and producer Oliver Gretz, Gyrator X does not use standard DSP methods. It is a topology-preserving, physics-based emulation of full analog circuits, modeled at the component level and brought to life through years of research, measurement, and listening tests.
The result is an equalizer that responds organically, feels musical, and integrates naturally into professional mixing and mastering workflows.
"Curve accuracy was never enough. I wanted the responsiveness, interaction, and musicality that only real circuits provide. Gyrator X is the result of years of research into how those circuits truly behave."

Key Features
Gyrator-Based Equalizer Core
Low, Mid, High Bands modeled from analog gyrator circuits
Authentic analog component interaction
Carefully tuned frequency ranges and Q values for musical shaping
Independent Mid/Side or Left/Right operation
Signature Sky Band
A proprietary high-frequency shaping design delivering open, airy enhancement without harshness
Multiple response modes allow subtle sheen or extended brilliance without unnaturally changing the spectral balance
Advanced Filter Section
High-Pass and Low-Pass Filters modeled from classic analog circuits
Multiple circuit types, including:
Multiple Feedback (MFB)
Sallen-Key (SK)
State Variable (SVF) (including true 4-pole SVF)
Passive high-pass design
A proprietary Gyrator-based low-pass
True circuit-dependent behavior
Dual ADAA Saturation Stages
Two fully independent saturation stages using anti-derivative anti-aliasing (ADAA), with multiple models derived from detailed measurements of analog circuitries for precise harmonic control.
Available saturation models include:
Modern vacuum tube
Vintage NOS tube
Silicon and germanium transistor stages
Silicon and germanium diode circuits
JFET class-A stage
Each stage can be freely positioned within the signal path, allowing precise tonal shaping before or after EQ stages.
