Togu Audio Line Multi Filter

I'm going to keep this short because there's only so much one can say about this plug, It's a simple filter after all. I like the interface, clean and simple, also I like the "meter" display around the knobs it ads to the visual memory when trying different settings on sounds. What I really like about it is its sound. It's got just a tad of life to it, not cold and sterile yet it doesn't change the intent of your sound if that makes sense, just adds a little warmth. I mainly use it as a quick highpass or bandpass insert for synth sounds so I can't say how it acts on a variety of audio material, but I do know that for me it gets used very often. There's no manual but then again if you don't understand what it does, you should stop reading this and go read some tutorials on the basics of electronic music production. The only presets I could see ever being useful for it would be maybe some set to various frequencies like a bass cut or maybe some stuff for voice/instrument ranges.. but I say just use your ears. Never needed support for this plug but I do know that the developer responds to emails and is quite active so if you needed support I'd bet my left nut you could get it. VFM = FREE.

Audio Simulation DreamStation DXi2

LFO Speed mod destinations, and a stereo delay just for the helluvit, and I would have the damn perfect VA


Documentation

Overall good documentation with an excellent reference section.


Presets

I'm not really a preset banger myself, but if i were the type to find a preset to tweak into something more personalized, I would probably be very pleased with the default bank. It is very utilitarian.


Cust. Support

This product has reached the end of its life cycle, therefore there is no official support provided by the developer, yet it has it's own section at the Audio-Simulation forums (the developer). I have never experienced a need to receive customer support for this product, although I am pleased with the developer's support for products that are in active development from Audio-Simulation, especially considering the youth of said product (DreamStion II(the host)).


VFM

It's free. Instant 10.


Stability

It's never crashed or behaved unpredicably for me. As I've already said its sound is very predicable. So i cannot give any negative marks here.


Conclusion

In short, this synth is a no-nonsense general purpose synth, with a broad sonic potential, and is free.
