01Overview

Rift Filter Lite is a compact effects plugin from Minimal Audio that focuses on filter design. Its 24 filter types cover morphing, vowel, phaser and peaking shapes, with morph and stereo spread controls for shaping movement. Pitch snapping and transposition help set resonance to musical intervals, and cutoff can be tied to incoming MIDI notes. A global dry/wet control lets you blend the filtered signal with the original.

Filter Types and Morph Control

The plugin includes 24 filter types, among them morphing, vowel, phaser and peaking designs. The morph control moves the filter shape continuously, so you can sweep between characters during a sound rather than switching filter modes.

Stereo spread control widens the effect across the stereo field, which suits pads, risers and other wide processed sounds. The stereo display shows how the filter acts on each channel.

Musical Resonance and MIDI Tracking

Pitch snapping is designed to make resonance effects easier to tune to a key. Transposition works alongside it, and the cutoff can be set to key track along with incoming MIDI notes, so the filter follows the notes you play.

The global dry/wet control keeps the balance between processed and unprocessed signal in one place, which is useful when the filter is used as an insert on a full track.
