Free Antelope Audio MG4+ 6-band EQ


Antelope Audio drops free EQ plugin to celebrate the release of individual perpetual licenses for 75+ plugins.

MG4+ is Antelope’s take on a popular 500-Series six-band analogue EQ renowned for introducing top-end shine and clarity

Back in 2023, Antelope Audio announced that it was making its stable of Synergy Core plugins – which could previously only run on Antelope’s DSP-equipped audio interfaces – available natively on macOS and Windows.

Available exclusively via a subscription plan on launch, Antelope Audio’s collection of Synergy Core Native plugins has since expanded to encompass 75+ titles. Today, the company has announced that it’s making individual licenses for the native plugins available for purchase for the first time.

To mark the occasion, Antelope Audio is giving away a free plugin: MG4+. This is a 6-band EQ based on the Mäag Audio EQ4, a popular 500-Series hardware EQ. EQ4 is known for its Air Band functionality, renamed by Antelope as Sky Band, that opens up a signal’s top end and adds high-frequency shine without introducing harsh sibilance.

MG4+ features boost/cut knobs for five frequency bands (40Hz, 160Hz, 650Hz, 2.5kHz and a sub band around 15Hz) along with frequency selection and gain controls for the Sky Band. Simple but effective, MG4+ should work its magic on vocals, acoustic guitars, or any signal in need of some extra top-end presence and clarity.

Antelope Audio’s catalogue of native plugins is made up of a wide variety of emulations of classic studio gear, from vintage-inspired channel strips, preamps and compressors to recreations of hardware reverbs and delays. These are joined by a number of original plugins designed in-house, such as the InTune pitch correction tool and Space Flanger modulation effect.

“Our plugins are built on a legacy of great sound,” reads a statement from Antelope Audio. “After years of perfecting ultra-realistic analogue modeling for FPGA and DSP processors, we’ve brought that same expertise into the world of native software. The result is a collection that captures the warmth, precision, and musicality of legendary studio gear, now available right inside your DAW.”

Features:

  • On/Bypass button
  • Sub frequency boost/cut knob
  • 40Hz boost/cut knob
  • 160Hz boost/cut knob
  • 650Hz boost/cut knob
  • 5kHz boost/cut knob
  • Sky band frequency select knob
  • Sky band gain control knob

Antelope Audio’s MG4+ is compatible with macOS and Windows and available in AAX/AU/VST3 formats.

KORG Collection 6 Adds Trinity, PS-3300 & SGX-2 Virtual Instruments


Korg has introduced Collection 6, a major update to its software synth suite for Mac + Windows, featuring new virtual takes on the Trinity, PS-3300 and SGX-2.

Korg Collection is a suite of software synthesizers, featuring virtual takes on a variety of the company’s classic gear, including the MS-20, Polysix and Mono/Poly, ARP ODYSSEY and ARP 2600.

Here’s what’s new in Korg Collection 6:

  • TRINITY – Released in 1995, this synthesizer defined KORG in the 1990s. Its silver body, TouchView GUI (the first synth with touchscreen operation), and large-scale PCM sound set new standards for synthesizers of its time.
  • PS-3300 – Produced for only about five years, from 1977 to 1981, with less than 50 units ever made, this fully polyphonic analog synthesizer remains one of the rarest and most revered instruments in music history. Its massive sound engine, comparable to 144 MS-20s, has been modeled and enhanced with expanded functionality.
  • SGX-2 – The premium piano sound engine from KRONOS and NAUTILUS. It captures the tones of some of the world’s finest concert grand pianos, recorded in full-stereo, loopless samples for every single key.

Korg Collection 6 Demo:

Korg Collection 6 is available now with an intro price of $299 through November 10th, 2025 (normally $399).
