Filter Types and Sound Shaping

Hybrid Filter includes more than 50 filter types. Custom morphing, comb, formant and phaser modes sit alongside basic filter types, which the developer says have carefully designed resonance behavior.

Filtered tones can be set to follow musical pitch. The tuned cutoff uses precise note values to build harmonic resonance effects, and cutoff-tracking amplitude modulation adds extra harmonic content and tuned textures.

A real-time filter response display shows what each setting is doing as you adjust it.

Low-End Control and Stereo Width

An integrated multi-band crossover and a mono-bass option help keep the low end intact while you process the rest of the signal. This suits filtering full mixes or synth parts that carry bass content.

The spread control widens the stereo image of filtered signals, which can be used for wide filter sweeps.

The two soft-clip limiter flavors can keep levels in check or add saturation when needed.
