The guys at SoundToys are big on analog, so they designed FilterFreak to be fat. To be warm. To be, well, analog. All the reviews and feedback say we got it. They also designed it to do all the things you do with filters. From funky envelope followers like Mutron, to classic synth style reshaping with ADSR, to big resonant LFO sweeps like the Sherman Filterbank, as well as the classic sound of the old Morley WahWah pedals. Even two flavors of the great old Sci-Fi sample and hold sound. But a plug-in needs to be more. So, they added a unique Rhythm Mode that lets you create cool custom patterns that lock to MIDI. All the fat and the flexibility of a whole closet full of filters and beyond.
Analog Sound
You can select emulations of different filter types to get a wide range of classic sounds. Crank up the resonance to make it squeal. Flip on the Analog Mode switch and hit it hard to add Dirt, Pump, Shred or Fat. Yep, you can hit it hard coming in and going out, kind of like that old piece of hardware, only no batteries or cables, just great analog sound. (Oh and simulated wood side panels)
Groovy
The Rhythm Mode gets you moving with the music. Flip the MIDI switch, select 1/4 notes and a sine wave, instant auto wah. To get a little more creative, you can pop open the Rhythm Editor and create a custom pattern that fits your tune. (Save that pattern and use it in PhaseMistress, Tremolator, or EchoBoy). Grab the Groove knob and use swing or shuffle to drop it in the pocket. The only filter that lets you get to your sound and feel fast.
Double your Pleasure
Need more power? Fire up FilterFreak2 (It's part of the package). That's two fat analog filters you can run serial or parallel for total filter dominance. Each can select from Low Pass, High Pass, Band Pass and Band Reject. As well as, 2, 4, 6, or 8 pole filters. Bass, guitar, drums, synths, vocals, anything you want to put through it and anyway you want it.
ORDERING INFORMATION
As of March 2010, individual plug-ins are only available via digital download (i.e. no cd's in the mail). In order to authorize your software, you will need to provide us with your iLok account number and the email address linked to that account in order to receive the authorization code. Please include this information in the comments section of the checkout page when placing your order.
Also, because this is a download, you won't be charged shipping. Our web site is old and half-broken, so your shopping cart may still show a shipping fee, but you can ignore that - we'll only charge you for the actual product.
