Voxengo has released version 1.3 of Overtone GEQ, a freeware 7-band equalizer plug-in in VST and AudioUnit formats for Windows, Windows 64 and Mac OS X platforms.

Version 1.3 offers a better look-and-feel of the plug-in, user interface rescaling and coloration options, and several other enhancements.

Overtone GEQ features

• 7-band graphic equalizing
• +/- 12 dB gain range per band
• 2 graphic equalizer views
• Multi-channel processing
• Internal channel routing
• Channel grouping
• Mid/side processing
• Complex harmonic coloration
• 64-bit floating point processing
• Preset manager
• Undo/redo history
• A/B comparisons
• Contextual hint messages

Although a bit heavy on the CPU, this freebie is high up in my must-have EQ plug-ins list. Its harmonic coloration really makes stuff sparkle.
