01Overview

Filterstation2 is a filter effect from Audio Damage, built around the serial, parallel and stereo dual filter layout popularized by the Sherman Filterbank. It combines twelve filter algorithms, including an MS20 emulation, with an envelope follower that can be driven by an external sidechain signal. An LFO with twelve patterns adds rhythmic motion, and a VCA mode extends the plugin into tremolo and gate territory. It is available in VST3, VST2, AU and AAX formats.

Filter Algorithms and Sound Character

Filterstation2 offers twelve filter algorithms. Among them is an MS20 emulation, along with the developer's classic 914 bandpass and Filterpod lowpass models.

The envelope follower can dynamically control filter frequency, and its sidechain input lets an external signal drive that movement. This makes the plugin suited to envelope-style filter sweeps that respond to the rhythm or dynamics of a source track.

Routing, Modulation and Workflow

Filterstation2 can run its two filters in serial, in parallel, or in true stereo mode, so the same plugin can handle a mono bass line, a stereo synth pad or a drum bus.

The LFO offers twelve patterns with internal or tempo-synced operation, and the VCA mode turns the filter stage into tremolo or gate effects. The interface is designed for quick programming, and the vector-based GUI can be resized to suit your screen.
