FilterShaper 3.2 out now

[Jakob / Cableguys]

We just updated FilterShaper 3 to version 3.2.



The new version features improved wave editing, a cleaner UI with higher contrasts and improved compatibility with OS X Yosemite.


"FilterShaper 3 is a bonkers frequency-sculpting plugin that can achieve mind-bogglingly intricate modulation while managing to make all of this simple and approachable. We stumbled upon awesome sound after awesome sound playing around with percussion loops, shaping background atmospherics and working up evolving pads."
Computer Music Magazine, CM 202, March 2014


And - as always - we have a fully functional demo version for Windows and Mac OS X.

I hope you like the new version, the brighter text colors and changed waveform editing!

Nice one.

I'm really enjoying using it.

Hope you guys will implement external sidechaining soon ...

You guys make the best effect plugins. I love all of them.

I'm always for making reading easier I think there is definitely a balance between making something look classy and also having the parameters stand out. I like the sound of improved wave editing too.

I should add: We've just released a new version, FilterShaper 3.2.2, on Sunday. It fixes a bug with One-Shot mode, and improves multi-selection of waveform points, as well as compatibility with Cubase 8 and OS X Yosemite.

Keep `em coming! I love your stuff.

Why not add the "Randomize points" button near the other in the bottom of the LFO waveforms? (near the Triangle one, for example).

There is in MidiShaper and VolumeShaper3! It is quick than right click->Randomize points.
The same on WaveShaper CM: it miss this fast-button.

Does everyone else also experience clicks and pops when riding the frequency of an LFO assigned to volume?

I downloaded a demo of Volumeshaper 4 and it was the same thing.

Everything works great as long as you don't attempt to automate the rate of an LFO. Is this expected behavior?

Yes, that's expected. If the LFO is set to "Synced", then the phase of the LFO is adjusted to the position in the song, resulting in jumps of the modulation. To avoid these jumps and clicks, you can set the LFO to "Retriggered" instead of "Synced".

Got it. This does it....

Two requests for a future iteration/incarnation.
1. A "quasi" square wave form that won't introduce pops (which is why I say quasi, as the way I understand it, this would have to include a fast fade on onset/release) and another tool that can modulate that width of the square wave form.
2. A way to morph between waveforms that can be modulated, or automated from the host.

Just purchased Filtershaper 3. I had a little permissions problem with the Cableguys presets folder but thanks to the support it is solved now.
