Plugin to split by frequency band?

[atomota]

I seem to remember a plugin that can split an input into (I think) three frequency bands and send them to separate outputs.

Am I just dreaming, or does something like this exist, and where?

At the time I thought "well that's weird" but now I may actually have a use for something like that running in energyXT's modular environment. But I can't find it again.

Thanks!

isn't it part of the tiny effects bundle?
either that or one of the ones that concretefx do for free?
yep tiny splitter, dunno about the cfx one (if it exists) though.

Adobe Audition has it as well...you can define and spilt a track in up to 8 frequency ranges...

Seconded. Tiny Splitter does indeed have three outputs.

I suppose you could do it in a fair fiew hosts using send/return configurations & eq's.
I did something similar in reason - running an effect through the vocoder set up as a four band graphic eq & some other bits & bobs to create a delay that played with different frequencies.
I thought it sounded quite schweeeeet.

If you have Reaktor, you can also rip out an excellent splitter from Flatblaster.

Bingo! Thanks everybody. Now I won't have to try to cobble something together out of a bandpass filter and who knows what else.

And as a bonus, I've been reminded of Tiny God's VSTis. I loved Heartburn's formant filter.

There's also one called FreqSplit.

I use it to split my bands and compress them individually, sometimes using different compressors on different bands.

I wonder if that creates phase problems... hm..

Can be done with every sequencer: set up for each frequency band a send and insert a multiband-compressor on each send-channel. Now set up each MB-compressor, that it lets just pass one single band (solo). Don't forget to mute the original track's output.

I couldn't find that one just now.

Running a sine sweep through Tiny Splitter and mixing the outputs back together gives peaks in the frequency response at the crossover frequencies . Maybe I'll have to code something up myself using Linkwitz-Riley or whatever, which would be fun and interesting but time-consuming. I was hoping for something off-the-shelf and not too cobbled together . . .

Read the post above and you're done.

just found FreqSplitter here http://perso.wanadoo.fr/silicon_silicium/index.html
it allows you to to split the signal into three bands in a very convenient way ... works great in eXT.

atomota, that's an interesting expiriment that you did... would you repeat it with FreqSplitter? I'm not really sure how to do that kinda stuff.

yes, thats in the nature of IIR-filters - due to their nonlinear phase response, the outputs of the filters do not sum up to the original incoming signal. if you want to have that feature, you will need to use linear-phase FIR-filters, which are quite CPU-intensive. the bessel-filter is an IIR-filter which is optimized to approximate a linear phase response as close as possible.
