01Overview

MTurboFilter is built around two ideas: a library of modeled classic filters and a designer for creating your own. The nine filter models are inspired by well-known vintage synthesizers, and each can be overdriven to add hardware-style distortion. A dedicated feedback control reproduces the classic headphone-out-into-input technique. Combined with a modulation matrix that drives the main controls, it gives producers a flexible tool for shaping filter character in both sound design and mixing.

Nine Modeled Vintage Filter Characters

The nine analogue filter models are inspired by famous vintage synthesizers. Variable resonance compensation lets you move from the original behavior, which thins out the low end, to a boosted bass response.

Each model can be overdriven to emulate hardware distortion and its interaction with resonance. The developer describes the range as going from acidic squelching to brutal crunch. Because you can set parameters first and then switch models in context, you can audition several characters on the same sound without resetting your settings.

Building Custom Filter Algorithms

The algorithm designer lets you build filter topologies from scratch. You can combine biquad or state-variable versions of low-pass, high-pass, band-pass and notch configurations, each with different slopes.

These filter stages can be paired with wave-shapers, compressors, feedback, combs, saturators and bit-crushers. Internal parameters can then be mapped to the five main controls, so the custom design stays playable from the main interface.

The modulation section sits under those controls. It includes LFOs with morphable, drawable shapes, host sync and step sequencing, plus envelope followers that track the main audio or a sidechain input.
