Can I try this before buying?

Every Kiive plugin has a fully functional 14-day free trial. No card required, no limitations. Pull it up in your DAW on a real session and decide from there.

What formats and DAWs are supported?

VST3, AU, and AAX on both macOS and Windows. If your DAW supports any of those formats, you're good. We test against Pro Tools, Logic, Ableton Live, Cubase, FL Studio, Studio One, and Reaper, but it works in anything that loads standard plugin formats.

How do I authorize my license?

Open the plugin in your DAW, enter your license key in the registration field, and click activate. You get 3 seats per license so you can run it on your studio machine, laptop, and a backup without juggling activations.

Does this work on Apple Silicon?

Yes. All current Kiive plugins run natively on Apple Silicon (M1, M2, M3, M4) and Intel Macs. No Rosetta required.

Every plugin comes with free updates for life. No subscriptions, no upgrade fees, no annual maintenance. You buy it once and it stays current.

Introducing VX-Q

Based on a rare British style EQ known for staying clean and musical on detail-heavy sources.

We captured the original L and R units and brought them into the digital domain, then paired them with the swappable transformer section the hardware never had.

The result covers everything from subtle cleanup to aggressive tone shaping, in one plugin.

Our Most Powerful Tone-Shaper Yet.

Precision where it counts

While some EQs boast colorful, aggressive curves, this one is about clarity and enhancing the source.

The units we captured handle detail-heavy material gracefully and are clean enough for the master bus, where spatial information matters most.

Five Ways To Color Your Signal

Five distinct saturation modes, each modeled from a different analog topology.

Push the THD, rebalance even and odd harmonics, or filter the saturation into a specific frequency range.

This is good for mastering

VX-Q This tool really improves good mixes. I tried it and bought it right away.

To call it an eq…

Is a little unfair to the product, at least, in the totality of it, in my opinion.

It’s an outstanding eq to be certain but I feel like it’s so musical that I can more or less determine the overall color of whatever I feed through it. Without even touching the eq, the different colors and distortions that are there can be the entire show.

Kiive continues to impress, I have the Kstrip, the Xbus, the Nfuse, all have their places and the synergy just becomes more awesome as more plugs drop.

Awesome work like usual with awesome price points even without a promo.

Great EQ

I love Kiive stuff. I wish I found them sooner, this EQ just does the job. Responsive and gives a subtle warmth that I like. I'm never disappointed, and it's my go-to for EQ, especially on Vocals (harsh and clean), and guitars, especially leads!

Our top Neve EQ

Our top Neve EQ. Own pretty much every NEVE EQ plugin from last 30 years and this one has become our absolute fav. The VARI knob is stunningly effective.

Excellent EQ with wonderful saturation

Excellent EQ with wonderful saturation. I've recently been loving it on guitars and drums especially. The mid/side capabilities in tandem with the saturation varieties make for a great tool I'm always reaching for.

Worth trialing + purchasing!

The VX-Q is incredibly versatile. The filter controls are very musical, and can be either very precise, or used in more broad strokes. Utilizing the Advanced Controls can easily add endless combinations of flavors. Good stuff from Kiive!
