I like Classic and OMG,
but you might try Buzzrooms' filter1: it's not feature laden, but it is pretty smooth for a freebee.
Decent Filters?

Kjaerhus Classic is definitely not crap. I have PSP Nitro and still use Classic in a regular manner because of the distinct sound. I also have OMG and Frohmage (the free one) but I haven't really played with them.
I really don't like it when some one calls everything free crap but he's not willing to pay for better stuff. There is good free stuff out there and we should be grateful for it.

I just tested out Kjaerhus Classic Autofilter and didn't hear audible stepping. I often think some people don't really no the difference between stepping from poor control resolution and an audible pumping from cutting off the frequencies. Do some experimenting with the filter in the Minimonsta demo, might help you figure out what's what.
Anyway, if you want a free filter where you can be near certain to avoid stepping, check out Galleoneer's Mk1 filter. It has a second slider to adjust the cutoff scale, so you can slowly adjust the resolution as you go.
Dozens of good free filters out there. They may not be designed for every purpose though. Betabugs' Crayonfilter is fantastic, but it's meant to distort, so there is always an audible clipping.
Or check out the filters in the free modulars (KarmaFX Synth and Synthedit). In Synthedit, you could build slew rate limiter with an ADSR to get smooth cutoffs.
If you want a hardware filter, then go get one, but if you think that software filters suck, you're either an idiot or you just don't how to use them properly.

guilty as charged. took a while for me to figure out that the problem with my filters was my control of them and not the filter itself. In FL5 with a fine resolution and automating curves, all my zippering went away.shamann wrote:I just tested out Kjaerhus Classic Autofilter and didn't hear audible stepping.

Yeah, well, calling two perfectly usable filters "embarrasingly terrible" and saying they "sounded like ass" isn't sensitive at all. Saying stuff like that makes you look like a analog snob, or like someone who didn't dig too deep into the plugins.some people are WAY too sensitive!
Anyway, let's just say you didn't like those plugs. Can you say what are you comparing them against? I mean, is there some filter (either HW or SW) you do like?

Yeah, Frohmage rocks! I still use it from time to time, but When I got my hands on OMG! I switched because Frohmage's filter can't be fully opened like OMG!'s can, so it's always got a little cut off going on. It's fantastic for synths and stuff though especially one you want to lowpass a little anyway.emx wrote:ohmforce frohmage?

I would reduce the blocksize of the host. That mostly helps...jens wrote:dude, ClassicAutoFilter steps like there's no tomorrow... UYEFunkybot wrote:Try Kjaerhus Classic Auto Filter. Doesn't step, and sounds great.
