Equalizer for Music On Console (MOC) developed in C++ using a terminal-based interface powered by ncurses.
EQ4MOC combines the classic UNIX philosophy with a configurable and persistent user experience, allowing users to manage equalizer profiles directly from the Linux terminal.
- Terminal interface built with ncurses.
- Integration with Music On Console (MOC).
- Lightweight and fast equalizer.
- Save and load presets.
- Custom preset editing.
- Persistent configuration support.
- Color theme support.
- Low resource consumption.
- Portable and minimalist application.
- Fully developed in C++.
- C++
- ncurses
- Linux
- Music On Console (MOC)
Equalizer profiles can be saved and automatically reloaded, allowing users to reuse custom audio configurations for different music styles.
The interface supports multiple color themes to customize the terminal experience.
Inspired by classic console applications:
- fast,
- efficient,
- direct,
- and free from unnecessary dependencies.
- Linux
- g++
- ncurses
- Music On Console (MOC)
You will need normal build tooling installed such as make and g++. You will also need the ncurses development libraries.
apt install libncurses-dev
Normal compilation in /usr/local:
make
sudo make install
If you are using a Debian-like distro, you can try using these precompiled binaries (both were generated with checkinstall):

./eq4mocEQ4MOC follows the spirit of classic Linux software:
- small and specialized tools,
- keyboard-driven workflow,
- fast execution,
- local persistence,
- and minimal complexity.
It avoids heavy frameworks and unnecessary modern UI layers.
- Real-time spectrum visualizer.
- Import/export preset system.
- Compatibility with additional audio players.
- External configuration files.
- User-customizable themes.
- Configurable keyboard shortcuts.
This project was created to:
- practice terminal UI programming in C++,
- explore ncurses,
- experiment with audio applications,
- and develop real tools for Linux environments.
