Or are grimy, resonant squelches more your style? Nothing adds character to a track faster than a great filter, and FilterFreak can do it all. From funky envelope follower sounds reminiscent of the classic Mutron, to wide resonant LFO sweeps like the Sherman Filterbank. From timeless wah-wah tones to campy sci-fi sample-and-hold effects.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Whether you\u2019re controlling it manually, or locking it to tempo for rhythmic effects, FilterFreak delivers the warm, fat, resonant tones you crave. And SoundToys also added exclusive features you won\u2019t find in the classics, so you can create practically any filter effect you can dream up.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Analog Sound<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">FilterFreak faithfully recreates the sounds of classic analog resonant filters. Twist the frequency knob for smooth retro synth sweeps. Crank up the resonance to add some edge, or even push the filter into self-oscillation. And when you drive it hard, FilterFreak responds by breaking up in a gritty and pleasing way, just like hardware.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">SoundToys included seven different analog saturation \u201cstyles\u201d that range from warm or crunchy distortion to pumping compression. From subtle to extreme, FilterFreak packs a ton of analog magic into a convenient digital package.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Rhythm and Groove<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">While tweaking knobs is always fun, FilterFreak also includes rhythm and groove tools that add motion to your tracks automatically. Turn on Rhythm Mode and flip the MIDI switch to create auto-wah effects that sync to your DAW.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1041 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/soundtoysdev.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/FilterFreak-Rhythm-Editor-600x197.png\" alt=\"SoundToys FilterFreak Pluginsmasters\" width=\"600\" height=\"197\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 600px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 600\/197;\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Choose a simple note value like eighths or sixteenths, select from a library of pre-made rhythms, or even design your own rhythmic patterns using the Rhythm Editor. Then, to perfectly match the feel of your tune, grab the Groove knob and add some swing or shuffle to drop it in the pocket. For effects that move with the music, choose the Envelope or ADSR modes to trigger the filter with incoming audio. You\u2019ll be amazed by how much one plug-in can transform the feel of your tracks.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Double Your Pleasure<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">FilterFreak actually includes two separate plug-ins \u2014 FilterFreak 1 and 2. Load up FilterFreak 1 for a single, simple filter. But if you want more power, fire up FilterFreak 2. It gives you two analog filters side by side that can be used in series or parallel. Combining two filters with FilterFreak\u2019s deep modulation options gives you a huge range of moving sounds to explore.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.soundtoys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/FilterFreaks.png\" alt=\"SoundToys FilterFreak Pluginsmasters\" width=\"871\" height=\"601\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 871px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 871\/601;\" \/><\/p>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Highlights<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Capture the sound of classic resonant filters, with extended control and flexibility<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Funk up guitar, fatten bass, reshape drums, sweep synths and freak out vocals<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Choose from one filter, or two that can be used in series or parallel<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Select highpass, lowpass, bandpass and band reject modes with 2 to 8 poles<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Add synth-like resonant sweeps or classic wah-wah tones to your tracks<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Create funky auto-wah, envelope follower and sample-and-hold effects<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Grunge things up with 7 different analog saturation styles<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Construct intricate rhythmic filter sequences with the Rhythm Editor<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Design your own LFO shapes with the Shape Editor<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/youtu.be\/bl6pKRnrHjk<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":42441,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[3339],"product_cat":[26,29],"product_tag":[183,96,45,34],"class_list":{"0":"post-42442","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_brand-soundtoys","7":"product_cat-effects","8":"product_cat-mixing","9":"product_tag-analog","10":"product_tag-filter","11":"product_tag-effect","12":"product_tag-mixing","14":"first","15":"instock","16":"downloadable","17":"virtual","18":"taxable","19":"purchasable","20":"product-type-simple"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.6 -
