Overview
The HoRNet 3XOver is a very peculiar plugin since it’a half a DJ eq, half a three band crossover with selectable slope and output for each band.
At it’s core there is a system of three filters, a low-pass, for the low frequencies, a band-pass for the mid frequencies and a high-pass for the high frequencies.
Each of the filters has a selectable slope of 24dB/Octave or 48dB/Octave, a freely adjustable cutoff frequency point, gain control, and a ON/OFF switch to kill that frequency band.
The 3XOver provides four different stereo outputs, a Master (identified by an “M” on the output selectors) and three auxiliary outputs (identified by the numbers “1”,”2” and “3” on the output selectors).
You can assign every band to any of the outputs of the plugin, this allows for great flexibility, from the basic three band DJ equalizer to a multi output crossover that can be used to build custom multiband compressors for example.
Compatibility
The 3XOver is a special plugin, while it respects all the specs for multi output VST and Audio Units, this particular feature doesn’t works in every host, since not every host is capable of routing audio from a secondary output of a plugin to a new track.
We successfully tested the multi output routing in:
- Ableton Live
- Cockos Reaper
- Motu Digital Performer
- Avid Protools (with the VST wrapper)
For all the other hosts you can use a plugin host such as DDMF Metaplugin
If you know any other host that can handle this kind of routing please let us know using the contact form
Testimonials and Reviews
The range of corrective and creative uses this thing can be put to is endless… An essential.
Demo
The demo is fully functional except for the fact that every now and then it will silence out, you cannot save parameter values with your session and the plugin will not respond to automation coming from the host.

Copy protection
The HoRNet 3XOver has no copy protection, I don’t believe in copy protection, they are always cracked and they are annoying for the users, we all know you are not going to give away the plugin on the internet…
So simply download the plugin and enjoy your recordings!
Hi,
DDMF Metaplugin and also free KV_Element – it can do that 🙂
Excellent convenient plugin and does exactly what I wanted. I just finished splitting a guitar part (great player playing basslines and chords plus more all at once..!) so I could bring out the bass part (from the DI track) with compression and other treatments more clearly and then add on the top part (from the miced track). It's come out just so nice.
Hornet offers fine equipment at an approachable (buyable) price and no iLok or other nonsense. (Non dongle iLok just cost me £40, 4 hours work and zero to show for it…… iLok = do not buy this product)
