Rubberfilter

Rubberfilter offers four classic filter modes to cut frequencies with up to 384 dB/Oct. It removes frequencies in any audio signal, while providing an additional creative purpose. Rubberfilter has a controllable filter order of 6 dB/Oct up to 384 dB/Oct. At high filter order levels, a psychoacoustic effect appears which is usually an unwanted sound of zips and sweeps, almost as if there is a tone present at the filter's cut-off frequency. Rubberfilter allows you to use this psychoacoustic effect for creative purposes.

Christian Budde and, fellow KVR member, Dalor created Rubberfilter. The idea sprang from a KVR forum thread entitled million dollar scientific EQ? and now it has its own thread.

I like it a lot. Since it is the only free filter vst i know which does such a huge 384 dB/Oct cut.
But it is dangerous! if you twist the knobs when the left and right filters are not synced it will cause terrible subbass noise capable of killing your speakers (didnt happen to me). so you better bypass it and set the desired values and the repower it.
if you dont mind the fact that it can burst your speakers then it is a very usefull tool.

thanks to the developer!!!

the user interface is well designed friendly to the eye and tatally suficient.

the sound is allright to good.

the features are just right.

i had no look at the doc so i leave that out

i didnt check the costumer support

value for money - priceless

stabilty: well it didnt crash once, but the fact that it cann tear your valuable monitors apart gives it a big minus there

this psycho effect is very usefull. create a synth melo and set the filter to lopass 384 db/oct around 120hz
and you know what i mean ....

Products by Christian Budde

Product: 2-Band Distortion
Developer: Christian Budde
Type: Distortion / Overdrive / Amp
Price: Free
OS: Windows
Formats: VST
2-Band Distortion is a crossover frequency splitter followed by a distorting waveshaper in each band. Features: Customisable linkwitz-riley crossover filter (up to 192 dB/Oct). Smooth harmonic distortion. Mathematically optimised (using psychoacoustical evaluated approximation functions). Open Source (as part of Christian's Delphi ASIO & VST Project). Manual. ... [more]

 
Product: Advanced Clipper
Developer: Christian Budde
Type: Clipper
Price: Free
OS: Windows
Formats: VST
Advanced Clipper is basically a hard-clipping plugin with two stages. Additional oversampling reduces alias noise. The oversampling algorithm is based on butterworth filters (as can be found in rubberfilter) and thus will affect the group delay (you can notice a delay of some samples in extreme cases). Features: Two stages of minimum phase, butterworth oversampler. Hard clip at higher sample rates. Oversampling of up to 16x (in both stages). Filter order up to 64 (using the max. order will introduce noticeable group delay). Tunable transition frequency (in parameter view). ... [more]

 
Product: Christortion
Developer: Christian Budde
Type: Distortion / Overdrive / Amp
Price: Free
OS: Windows
Formats: VST
Christortion simply excites the harmonics of the input signal. It is also possible to invert the phase of each harmonic. This concept guarantees a very surgical control over the distortion produced.... [more]

Product: Fast Soft Knee Compressor
Developer: Christian Budde
Type: Dynamics (Compressor / Limiter)
Price: Free
OS: Windows
Formats: VST
Fast Soft Knee Compressor is a soft knee compressor optimized for low CPU usage. While it is not that difficult to build a hard knee compressor with a low CPU usage, it is quite difficult to do so for a soft knee, especially if you want to control the margin around the threshold precisely while maintaining a consistent curve. The compressor also features a simple limit circuit to avoid clipping. Features: Lightweight soft knee compressor. Continuous and consistent characteristic. Fully adjustable soft knee in dB (as margin below the threshold). Stereo/dual mono processing. Extra limit ci... [more]

Product: posihfopit
Developer: Christian Budde
Type: EQ
Price: Free
OS: Windows
Formats: VST
posihfopit is a soft clip EQ effect plug-in.With posihfopit you can very easily equalize your audio material, but furthermore the plugin will add a new color to the sound. Due to its unique transistor based algorithm, a small amount of soft distortion is applied according to the filter band used. This way your material gets kind of "creamier". Features: 8 band EQ (with additional soft clip). Peak / LPF / HPF / LowShelf / HighShelf / Allpass / Notch / Bandpass / Moog. Auto filter calculation (5 different algorithms). Skinnable/intuitive GUI (several skins included). Integrated overv... [more]

 
Product: Quadropolis
Developer: Christian Budde
Type: Surround Mixer
Price: Free
OS: Windows
Formats: VST
The Quadropolis Surround-Plugin is a VST effect Plugin dedicated to Quadraphonic Music. There was a lot of research on Quadraphonics back in the early 70s. This Plugin simulates an anechoic chamber with 4 loudspeakers in it (starting from 45° in 90° steps). Within the soundfield there is - of course - the listeners head, which is simulated with a 512 Tap HRTF-Convolver (FIR-Filter). This causes high CPU-Load (about 50% @2GHz, but improvements are on the way). The plugin gives you the ability to mix your quadraphonic music, without using 4 loudspeakers. Only Headphones are needed. Just ... [more]
