MicroFX Filter is an effects plugin from Heavyocity that uses two multi-mode filters with five filter types, routing options, and XY grid modulation for shaping and animating sound. It is available for Windows and macOS.
MicroFX Filter is built around two filter stages that can be routed in parallel, in series, left/right, or mid/side. The five filter types are Low Pass, High Pass, Comb, Notch, and Bandpass. An XY grid controls cutoff on the X axis and resonance on the Y axis, and the grid can also be drawn as a modulation path of up to 15 points. Drive, Dirt, Envelope Follow, and Offset add further shaping control, and 49 presets split into static and animated categories give you starting points.
The two filter stages can run in parallel, in series, left/right, or mid/side. Heavyocity lists 144 possible filter and routing combinations across the five filter types, which covers both conventional tonal shaping and more unusual comb and notch textures.
Each stage uses one of the five filter types, so you can pair, for example, a low pass with a comb filter in series, or split the two stages across the left and right channels for a wider effect.
The XY grid sets cutoff and resonance in a single gesture, so you can sculpt a sound with one click or drag. For movement, you can draw a path on the grid with up to 15 points and fine-tune how that animation plays back.
The animated presets show this modulation in use, which makes them a practical reference for building rhythmic and textural filter motion.
