Blue Cat MB-7 Mixer

Blue Cat MB-7 Mixer｜The Ultimate Spectral Scalpel & Multiband Effects Host

Split, Mix, and Load Any of Your Favorite Effects on Each Band

Blue Cat's MB-7 Mixer is not just a multiband effect; it's a revolutionary multiband mixing workstation and an open effects host. This powerful tool precisely splits your audio signal into up to 7 independent frequency bands, allowing you to adjust the volume, pan, and stereo width of each band independently, just like operating a real mixing console. Its core breakthrough lies in the ability to freely load your own VST, VST3, or Audio Unit plugins onto each band, enabling unprecedented spectral processing possibilities. Whether for precise mastering, creative sound design, or solving tricky mixing problems, the MB-7 Mixer offers ultimate flexibility and control, making it an indispensable Swiss Army knife for modern digital audio professionals.

From correcting dynamics in specific frequency bands to adding saturation to lows, applying spatial effects to mids, and exciting highs, all operations can be completed within a single interface. Its exclusive multi-instance linking technology further allows you to control specific bands of different instruments across multiple tracks simultaneously, achieving efficient spectral balance and conflict resolution. The MB-7 Mixer completely liberates the limitations of traditional VST plugins, elevating your creativity to a whole new dimension.

Product Features

• Multiband Mixing Console: Splits the audio signal into up to 7 bands, each offering independent Bypass, Mute, Solo, Gain, Stereo Width, and Pan controls, just like operating a miniature mixer.
• Powerful Plug-in Hosting Capability: Each band can host up to 4 of your own VST, VST3, or AU plugins, with the option to place them Pre-Fader or Post-Fader, enabling endless sound processing combinations.
• 28 Built-in High-Quality Effects: Beyond being a host, the MB-7 Mixer itself includes 25 practical effects, such as EQs, filters, dynamics processors, delays, reverbs, modulation effects, and more, available for direct use in any slot.
• Exclusive Multi-Instance Linking Technology: Allows linking bands between MB-7 Mixer instances within a single plugin or across multiple tracks. With just one fader, you can simultaneously control any band on multiple tracks, making it a perfect solution for resolving instrument spectral conflicts.
• Comprehensive Visual Feedback: Provides real-time spectrum analysis, input/output level meters, and frequency response curves, allowing you to precisely monitor sound changes in each band and make the most accurate judgments.
• Advanced MIDI & Automation: Supports full MIDI control and automation learning capabilities. Its parameters can be exported as automation curves or MIDI CC messages, and can be combined with other plugins (such as Blue Cat's MB-5 Dynamix) to create extremely complex dynamic multiband sidechain effects.
• Zero Latency Compensation & Management: Built-in latency compensation mechanism ensures that all bands remain phase-coherent even when high-latency third-party plugins are loaded. Also provides complete preset management, Undo/Redo, and independent plugin Bypass functions.
• Blue Cat Audio Standard Specifications: Includes industry-leading standards such as zero CPU load when idle, freely scalable and resizable UI with adjustable transparency, noise-free Smooth Bypass, and support for any sample rate.
