ToneMap

What it is

A single-knob tonal contour that tilts the spectrum darker or brighter without touching individual EQ bands. Internally it's a coupled low-shelf / high-shelf curve calibrated for mastering — gentler than a generic tilt EQ, designed for last-mile balancing on already-mixed material.

How to use it

• Enable ToneMap in the controller
• Drag the amount up to brighten (high-shelf boost + low-shelf cut) — opens the top end without adding presence-band peakiness
• Drag it down to warm / darken (the inverse) — softens harshness without losing detail
• Stays subtle by default; the range matches what works on a mix that's 90 % right and needs a small tonal nudge

What it affects

Final tonal nudges after the parametric EQ chain. Useful when the mix is almost there but feels slightly dark or bright overall, when you've done all the surgical work and just need to shift the global character. ToneMap sits on top of your manual EQ moves so it doesn't undo the specific bands you authored. Saved with the session as part of .mfproj.
