Hey all...

Just digging around looking for a nice filter I can use on individual tracks with my DAW...

Guess I'm looking for a fairly wide Q band pass filter, added delay in the same VST would be the icing on the cake.

I suppose what I'm trying to re-create is something I do quite a bit with hardware (such as the Mk1 Korg ES-1 Electribe), which is to solo a part and filter sweep, bringing up tempo delays at the same time for a break section.

I'm really looking for something not too complicated that I can easily throw onto a track without too much CPU load or going cross-eyed looking at a tiny GUI.

The closest VST I've found is an old one from donkey's years ago I had lurking on an old hard drive - goes by the endearing name of TK Psycho Filter 1.0 !

It has everything I'm looking for and is nice and simple... unfortunately it doesn't actually sound very nice, being very prone to clipping... and appears to be entirely obsolete.

Any good contenders?

Waves MetaFilter should cover your needs. Not too complicated. Low CPU. Good delay and filter options. Great sound. Well designed GUI. Quite cheap considering what it does and the general price of such plugins.

Minimal Audio Rift Feedback Lite FREE!

Very high quality modelled delay with HP/LP. Really nice sounding. Resizable GUI, dark/light skin, preset manager, top shelf stuff.

Perhaps not simple and I'm not sure how the support for bigger UI is in the skin collection these days but Atlantis Filter Delay is highly flexible so it's worth a look... https://jeremyevers.com/atlantis/

which DAW do you use that doesn't have a filter and a delay?

Dr.Device is an old favourite if you can find a license ...

+1 for UA delays & filters. Sandman Pro maybe or HY-Delay

Kilohearts 'Snap in' effects are what you are looking for. They are simple, high quality effects that you can 'snap' together to make just the effect you are looking for. The delay snapin is free as an intro ( https://kilohearts.com/products/kilohearts_toolbox#free ) and their Non-Linear filter on sale for $10.

This. People overcomplicate things so much...

DAW EQ, DAW Delay slapped right after it, case closed. Can't get more simpler that this, as asked by the OP.

Thanks... much to check out... including options within my own DAW (Reaper)... I did have a brief look but maybe I should look a little closer.

Dr. Device. (Name based on the weapon from Ender’s Game) It’s a really good one, but sadly they discontinued it.

What I like to do is use Bitwig’s delay, which allow you do add any plugin you want in the feedback path of the delay. You need to be very mindful of gain, but you can get some wild results.

Oh, I just remembered that RP-Delay is pretty nice. Not really simple, but it’s pretty inexpensive and sounds good.

Simple but nice VST filter + delay plugin?
