01Overview

914 MK 2 is built around a fixed filter bank modeled on the Moog Modular Synthesizer 914 module. Audio Damage presents it as an upgrade to its earlier 907A plugin. The signal runs through twelve fixed-frequency band-pass filters alongside 24 dB low-pass and high-pass filters, with controls for bandwidth and frequency offset. Separate wet and dry levels let you blend the effect into the original sound.

Filter Bank Sound and Character

The core of 914 MK 2 is its twelve fixed-frequency band-pass filters. Each band isolates a narrow slice of the spectrum, so the output takes on a distinct, formant-like color rather than a conventional sweeping filter tone.

Audio Damage says the effect can add rich luster to pads and give percussive and lead synth sounds a vocal quality. Because it operates in true stereo, the processed image keeps its width.

The bandwidth and frequency offset controls shape how far the bands spread and where they sit, which lets you move between subtle coloration and more pronounced timbres.

Controls and Workflow

The interface is a vector-based GUI that can be resized, so you can work at a comfortable scale on different screens.

Separate wet and dry level controls make parallel processing straightforward. The wet path includes 15 dB of makeup gain, which helps you match loudness when blending the effect with the dry signal.

Presets are stored in a platform-agnostic XML-based system, so preset files are not tied to one operating system.
