AuthorTopic: Comb Filters?

I'm looking for some excellent combfilter VSTs, got any suggestions? I really like gatecomb and stepcomb... but I'm looking for a more basic combfilter VST. Any suggestions would be appreciated! Help

Ohmygod! was offered for free on the Computer Music magazine CDs for a while.

I think the Ohmies have made it "not free"(?) at this point... Though I couldn't tell you the exact details of their current terms of offering.

Mosey on down to www.ohmforce.com to see what the current dealio is.

It might sttill be free with the CM. I got it with the CM from July, I think, and on their side it was already announced as not free.
They give it for free with the acttuall groupbuy and you can grab more then this best ever maybe the QuadFromage, with four of them in a row if neccessary.

Oli Larkin's Dronebox is one of the most flexible and complex out there.

I was fiddling with SynthEdit and made a combination comb-filter and envelope filter VST which I've since been startled to note I've found a use for in 3/4 of my tracks since then.

Anyhoo, I highly suggest messing with SynthEdit. At a minimum you'll come away with an appreciation for electronic music at a "low level" -- ad you might end up making yourself something unique and useful as well. Wink

Try Mutagene's Mukoco.
It's not really basic, but it sounds good and is free.

cheers,

what do you use comb filters for? I mean, what are they best used for? I've never really used them, but I have stacked filters before?

ohmygod is a nice brutal pluggie. from nasty drumloops to would-be-flanges and feedbacks.

The wonderful, original and best frOhmage is a (up to 16 band) comb filter.

yup, frohmage fed into finetuned psp pianoverb can make some sitar-like thing out of your guitar.

Thanks for all the replies! Love

As for what I like them for, I enjoy the metallic edge they give to drum loops and synth lines, if applied in a light manner.

Thanks to all again. Laughing

Comb filters can be used in many ways-a flanger is an excellent example of a comb filter implemention.Used to emulate a tube or waveguide,they form the basis for any physical modeling instrument as well.

They can really liven up percussion sounds. My favorite example is the snare on Kraftwerk's "Music Non Stop." It's just a simple LinnDrum snare sound as heard on hundreds of other '80s pop songs. With the comb filter it becomes more unique, raspy and metallic.
