01Overview

Motion Filter is a digital filter effect from Denise Audio built around movement. Its Sweeper mode reacts to the incoming audio, so the filter opens and closes with the dynamics of your source. Its LFO mode runs a configurable waveform instead, with speed settable in Hz or synced to host tempo. The plugin is aimed at producers who want filter sweeps on samples, loops, vocals or drums, and it can also be used as a more targeted alternative to some sidechain tools.

Sweeper and LFO Motion Modes

Motion Filter has two motion types. Sweeper mode follows the incoming signal through an envelope follower, with controls for detection sensitivity, attack, release and skew, which sets the midpoint of the filter action. An external sidechain input can drive that envelope instead of the track itself. Release can be synced to host tempo.

LFO mode replaces the envelope with a waveform, selectable in shape and adjustable for speed and smoothness. The sidechain is not active in this mode. Start and end frequencies set the range of the sweep, and Freq lock ties the two points to a fixed ratio.

Filter Shape and Controls

The filter offers low-pass, high-pass, bandpass and notch types, with slopes adjustable from 12 dB/octave up to 48 dB/octave. Resonance can be static or dynamic, and the Resonance control sets the emphasis around the cutoff.

Filter flip reverses the direction of the motion, and Detector Stereo Link lets detection respond to a summed or dual mono signal. Mix blends the dry signal with the effect, and Output sets the global volume.

Questions, answered

What formats does Motion Filter support?

Motion Filter is available in VST3, VST2, AU and AAX formats, and runs on Windows and macOS. The AAX version is 64-bit only.

What are the system requirements for Motion Filter?

On Windows it requires Windows 10 or newer (64-bit). On Mac it requires macOS 10.11 or newer (64-bit), including native Apple Silicon support.

What is the difference between Sweeper and LFO mode?

Sweeper mode reacts to the incoming audio signal through an envelope follower. LFO mode moves the filter with a configurable waveform, and the sidechain is not active in that mode.
