BiFilter 2.5 - available now for free!

Freeware: After nearly 20 years BiFilter has become vintage and even though it's no longer profitable to remain a commercial product, we feel that more people should deserve an opportunity to enjoy this plugin. That's why we decided to release one last update and turn BiFilter2 into freeware.
We want to say a big THANK YOU to all customers who support the development of our products, by purchasing our software.

What is BiFilter?

BiFilter is a stereo multi-mode filter with a selection of 47 different sounding filter types. These filters are known from our famous Gladiator synthesizer. You can combine all filters with 8 additional distortion types, FM, AM, wave-shaping and lo-fi effects to create new sounds. A high precision display shows the frequency response of the filter in real-time. Since you can always see and hear what's happening, BiFilter is very user-friendly.

This was my standard filter for nearly a decade, it sounds great, is versatile, and no fuss. Looking forward to the new version!

Hopefully Filterbank version will get an update as well - gui, oversampling, refined filters? Man can dream!

Good, because I paid for FREE lifetime upgrades from Cakewalk.

And Warmverb, still much-loved and used all these years later. A shoegazer's dream software.
