This is the filter to have in your studio.

The Drop delivers some of the best analog filter models ever put into a plugin, with character, depth, and movement that sound genuinely phenomenal. Having high-pass and low-pass filtering in one interface makes it fast, flexible, and useful on almost anything. The modulation system pushes it far beyond basic filtering: envelopes, a customizable LFO, MIDI triggering, and audio triggering from either the main input or sidechain. It can be subtle, musical, aggressive, or completely animated. Whether for mixing, sound design, or rhythmic movement, The Drop is an absolute essential.

in my opinion - this is the best filter plugin currently available [2015] - set at 2x Oversampling it sounds sublime. modulation options are top notch aswell - the LFOs and the clever step sequencer strike just the right balance between being creative + very flexible. also, its dual Envelope triggers are amazingly fast & accurate - which turns the Drop into the best sounding noisegate around.. super-useful for cleaning up drums or noisy sources in a transparent way. It can work a miracle on a noisy drum mic [removing both hiss & rumble by triggering LP & HP filter gates at the same time] - if you make electronic music you need to have this in your plugin folder.
