Filterscape is a flexible sound bending plug-in. It's a parametric equalizer. It's a virtual analog filter. It's a delay effect. It's a modulation device. It's all at once - and more. It offers you the tools and flexibility to spice up your music in ways beyond imagination. Filterscape comes with 2 sister plugins (included!), one of which is Filterscape VA, a virtual analog synthesizer based on Filterscape's modular architecture, and Filterscape Q6, a 6-band equalizer with dynamic capabilities!
Extended information
* Filterscape usage examples:
- Endlessly evolving delays for big soundscapes
- Add simply more life into drumloops
- Pattern driven audio choppers, trance gates
- easily switched EQ snapshots for different parts of the song
- Band-selective compression (multiband, de-essing), expansion, panning
- Mono to stereo effects
- Talkbox / Vocoder like effects by modulated formant accentuation
- Destructions, drones and noises from formerly innocent material
- All the effects that you'd expect, but even more effects that you wouldn't have expected!
* Filterscape VA
Filterscape VA is a polyphonic synthesizer plugin sporting some intrigueing features. It's easy to use with its familiar parameter set, but it also features some means that go beyond traditional analog emulations.
The rich sound and flexibility of the oscillators with their capability to perform high quality FM, PWM, Hard Sync and Ringmodulation along with the deep impact of a 12/24/36 dB resonant lowpass filter and Filterscape's EQ make Filterscape VA the ideal solution for a broad range of sounds, starting from fat vintage basses over warm and digital pads up to heavily distorted leads. Whatever synth character you need, Filterscape VA delivers!
* Filterscape Q6
Filterscape Q6 features a six banded version of Filterscape's morphing equalizer, accompanied by four envelope followers.
It focusses on the equalization side of things, for instance whenever Filterscape is an effect beyond your current needs. Its accessible and tidy user interface makes the creation of dynamic equalization a quick and easy task. Or, create up to 8 different eq settings to switch to within a song or during a live situation.
Technical specifications
Filterscape at a glance:
- Morphing EQ curves, for seamless spectral transitions
- 2 State Variable Filters with mixable outputs for lowpass bandpass, highpass and notch, all with individual panning
- Step Sequencers, Envelope Followers, LFOs, MIDI provide for evolving and rhythmic effects
- Tempo synced delay - EQ and filters can act on the feedback path!
- Flexible, semi-modular routing, including 2 Mixers with modulatable panning
- Hundreds of parameters, yet easy and fun to use
- Visual feedback for all important modulations
- Excellent sound quality, yet cpu friendly
Filterscape VA synthesis:
- 2 Oscillators, Noise and Suboscillator
- 3 Envelope Generators
- 3 LFOs (1 global, 2 per voice)
- Waveform Warp for Osc1 and Osc2 (seamlessly alters the waveform spectrum, in different ways for different waveforms)
- Osc1 can modulate Osc2's frequency ( FM ) with arbitrary waveforms, at minimum aliasing (audio rate modulation), a special waveform set (Sine Stacks) allows for classical digital FM sounds
- Ringmodulation
- Hard Sync (Osc1 -> Osc2) with the quality renoun from Zebra
- Inverse Oscillator Volume: Mix the waveform with it's phase-shifted inversion, i.e. for PWM
