User Interface
Goodhertz plugins are made to be workhorse tools that sound amazing. We've put a lot
of thought and care into the audio quality and plugin usability, and for that reason, we've
opted for simple and direct controls & interfaces that don't rely on photorealistic knobs or
ornamental screw heads to communicate their meaning.
We've also decided to not include meters and graphs — unless truly necessary — for
these reasons:
Keyboard Shortcuts
Action Keyboard Shortcut
Undo Command
⌘ + Z
Shift + Command
⌘ + Z or
Redo

⌘ + Y
Mouse Modifiers
Action Combination
This is not true for Goodhertz plugins. Any parameter in a Goodhertz plugin, even
on/off switches, can be automated freely and smoothly without clicks, pops, or zipper
noises (unless otherwise noted). You can push them, pull them, LFO them — whatever you
do, they’ll handle it gracefully. If a parameter can’t be smoothly automated, we’ll let you
know with the [lightening bolt] symbol.
Since our Master On/Off controls won’t create artifacts, we recommend that you use
them rather than your DAW-supplied plugin bypass if you want to disable plugin
processing.
