FilterField

FilterField combines 4 Filters with the superb XY field known from our other plugins, creating new, exciting Filter FX.

There are 32 analog modeled Filters, Comb Filters, Vowel Filters, EQ Filters, All-Pass Filter, and Phaser Filter, and a range of special modes like Ring Modulation, Amplitude Modulation, Frequency Shift, frequency-modulated LP/HP/BP, and FeedBack LP/HP/BP Filters.

Yes, a Distortion module is also added with 21 Distortion types, and the option for PRE or POST Filters.

These top-notch Filters can be combined in the XY Vector mode, going from one Filter type to another, with the option to 'Morph' a range of parameters at the same time. Additionally, we also offer parallel and serial modes for these 4 Filter modules.

The XY can be recorded and played back tempo-based in various ways, and it offers lots of exciting features, making FilterField a Filter FX in a league of its own. In Vector mode, the XY controls/mixes between the 4 Filters and can morph a specific range of parameters when selected. Additionally, there are 4 free targets possible for the X and Y available.

Then there is an 'Audio Follower' available that can respond to the input, or to one of the many other options for creating, for example, side-chain control. For a comfortable workflow, each Filter already has a Follower amount control. There are also an LFO for the 4 Filters and 2 Free LFOs, with various waveforms and temp-sync options. For a comfortable workflow, each Filter already has LFO amount control for its Filter LFO.

The Modulation Matrix has 8 slots for additional modulation by FilterField or MIDI sources.

FilterField includes Inside the FX section, an additional HighPass Filter, Gator, and a Tape-Delay Stereo Delay with our superb 'Equal Feedback' feature.

Last but not least, the bank manager helps sort the presets, and of course, a nice range of presets are added, which are also useful templates.
