FilterShaper

FilterShaper enables you to bring life to your sounds and loops. You can draw any curve, assign it to its 4 LFOs and use them to modulate filter cutoff and filter resonance of its great sounding filters. Or just modulate the volume.

Its drawing possibilities are ultra-flexible, yet easy to use. You can draw any curves you like shaping hard-synced or analogue-sounding rhythms. Create interesting rhythmic strings, shape a bass sound, destroy vocal recordings, create vivid shaker rhythms out of white noise, etc. You can go from subtle changes to extreme modulations, from little sound corrections to nicely filtered rhythmic loops. Its various filters can be set to drastic values from zero resonance up to self-oscillation.

You can change all parameters via automation (if your host sequencer can handle it). Everything. Even the shape of the modulating wave can be automated. Choose which wave is in use at any position in your song, change the loop length, record and play back any wave point movements and assign any hardware controller to any parameter in FilterShaper. Even with heavy modulations, with tempo changes in the host or jumping at different positions of a song, the modulation always stays in sync.

Filtershaper and Volumeshaper have plenty of use here for adding some weird oneshot or sequenced modulation or variations on the volume of single channel tracks.
Working with such clean and clear GUIs is just a breeze in terms of understanding at once what you're actually tweaking, even when in doubt, but, more importantly, the sound of the filter is indeed rich from scratch, and never dull or lacking life, even when not sequenced.
The possibilities of adding new nuances to some filter sequences are really astonishing, with all those waveforms available internally, all of them routable in endless ways to combine in life-injected filter movements with complex or weird evolution of settings.
In such many genres of electronic music like drum & bass or dubstep, where there's always some bassline evolving and rarely statically playing a pattern, or complex variations of breakbeat programming, such plugins are just plain heaven-sent to add quickly some tweaks that will “move” the effected sound, even while the variations of the settings are just quite subtle.
Filtershaper, in particular, apart from being a real good-sounding filter even when used in a static behaviour (meaning only as a “normal” LP/BP/BR/HP filter), is the choice to go when i need to start adding some “evolving” attitude with a filter on a track channel: the chance of controlling several aspects of the wavesequenced triggering to obtain complex modulation routing sequences, simply can answer to ANY need of adding some spice of life even to the dullest bassline or lead synth sounds.

Product: Curve
Developer: Cableguys
Type: Synth (Wavetable)
Price: Free
OS: Windows
Formats: VST
Curve is a wavetable synthesizer. Features: Draw your own wavetables. Three oscillators (each of them can be set to one of four user-wavetables, sine, saw, pulse, triangle or noise). Two synced and two unsynced LFOs. You can set an LFO to 0.1 Hz or you can set it to several kHz. You can even set the LFO frequency to the frequency of the note you are currently playing. Volume envelopes, filter envelopes; in fact its envelopes can be used to modulate many parameters. 6/12/24dB-filters with cutoff and resonance. Drawable modulation matrixes. Use an LFO to modulate the pitch and you get FM, use... [more]

VolumeShaper is a simple but unique gate effect plug-in that allows detailed modulation of a signal's volume. You can draw any volume curve you like shaping hard-synced or analogue-sounding rhythms. Create interesting rhythmic strings, shape a bass sound, destroy vocal recordings, create vivid shaker rhythms out of high-passed white noise, etc. You can change all parameters via automation (if your host sequencer can handle it). Everything. Choose which wave is in use at any position in your song, change the loop length, record and play back any wave point movements and assign any hardware cont... [more]
