01Overview

FiltR Bank Pro is a filter effect built around two separate modules. The left module is a bank of five individual filters, each with its own gain, frequency and Q control, so you can cut or boost specific frequency bands. The right module is a more conventional multi-mode filter with Cutoff and Resonance controls and an LFO that can run tempo-synced or free. The developer describes it as an analogue-modelled filter bank. The plugin is available as a VST2 for Windows.

Filter bank and multi-mode filter workflow

The filter bank on the left gives you five independent filters. Each one has a Gain control for cutting or boosting, a frequency control covering 1 to 12,000 Hz, and a Q control that narrows or widens the band being filtered. This makes it possible to shape narrow resonant peaks or broad tonal changes on the same signal.

The multi-mode filter on the right offers Low Pass, High Pass, Band Pass, Notch and Peaking types. Its Cutoff and Resonance controls sit alongside an LFO with tempo sync and a free mode. Input and Output level controls help manage gain when pushing the filters hard, and a display lets you monitor the incoming and outgoing signal.

Who it suits and what you need to run it

FiltR Bank Pro suits producers working on Windows who want precise, multi-band filtering as well as a traditional filter with modulation. The developer lists low CPU usage as a feature, which is useful when running several instances in a session.

The plugin is 32-bit only. It can run in 64-bit hosts through jBridge, and the developer notes that Cubase, Nuendo, Bitwig Studio, Reaper, Tracktion, Renoise, FL Studio, Sonar, Mixcraft and Samplitude support it through their built-in bridging. A trial is available, and the developer recommends testing it in your host before buying.
