Rather than owning masses of software that I barely have the time to learn and use I prefer to focus on a small number of excellent tools that reward my effort in learning how to use them creatively. Bifilter 2 fits that bill perfectly. I use this on pretty much every track - as an EQ, a distortion effect, mangling with it's bitcrushing/resampling effects, FSU with it's bizarre reverb/resonating FX. Used in serial fashion you can do things to your sounds that are creepy. And the CPU usage is extremely low. The filters really are excellent and with so many to choose from I simply don't have the need to use anything else. It looks fantastic, I've no idea if it has a manual as I've never had the need to look as the GUI is so simple. The presets give an excellent overview of what this little beast is capable of - there's a neat little browser with load/save for banks/individual presets. Markus has been prompt and efficient whenever I've had to contact him, which isn't often as it's never crashed on me - in ext 1.4 and ext2, Ableton 7 and Pro Tools 7.3. Highly recommended.Read Review
