Passive EQ
Passive EQ is a fully-parametric, two-channel, four-band equalizer plugin for digital audio workstations, developed by Native Instruments in collaboration with Softube. It includes high and low pass filters, a wide collection of presets, and is designed for use on individual tracks, subgroups, and mastering buses.

It is distributed as a VST plugin for use within host audio software such as Ableton Live, Logic Pro, Cubase, Reaper, and other DAWs that support VST format.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionPassive EQ is a VST plugin from Native Instruments, and it is not updated separately from the host DAW. Native Instruments has published that Passive EQ is part of the Komplete Effects suite and carries native Apple Silicon support through Native Instruments' plugin ecosystem. To ensure you have the native Apple Silicon version of Passive EQ, use Native Access (Native Instruments' dedicated plugin and software manager) to check for and install the latest version. Open Native Access, navigate to your Komplete bundle or individual plugin list, and click "Update" next to Passive EQ if an update is available. If you installed Passive EQ as a standalone component, visit native-instruments.com and download or update via Native Access — the latest version will include native Apple Silicon support. Your host DAW must also be on a current native build for optimal performance; confirm that Logic Pro, Ableton Live, Cubase, or whichever DAW you use is running its native Apple Silicon version as well.
