3 Filters You'll Actually Use

Shape Any Sound

An inspiring compilation of historic synth filters, turbo-charged as software plugins, and ready to meet the demands of the modern producer.

Your go-to choice for creative filters

If you’re looking to spice up your tracks, add a bit of excitement to your audio, or just get a bit of tone control, the choice of plugins can sometimes be a bit overwhelming. There are hundreds, if not thousands of plugins out there, but which one will be right for your music?

As a company full of musicians, we’re faced with this choice almost every day. Wouldn’t it be fantastic to be able to narrow our selection down to just a few titles? Titles that we knew were feature-packed, sounded awesome, and could be relied on. Titles that not only offered exciting modern features, but also gave us access to the sound of timeless analog tone controls. Titles that encouraged your creativity, instead of holding it back.

This is why we created 3 Filters You’ll Actually Use. Our heritage of accurately emulating vintage synths and bringing them back to life as software gave us the perfect starting point. To make our award-winning software instruments, we analyzed and recreated every aspect of some of the most legendary synths ever created, including their coveted analog filters.

What can these filters do?”

“My software instruments already have filters, why would I need a filter plugin?”

It’s an exciting feeling to shape the sound of electric guitars, drums, vocals, brass instruments, and samples using the lush analog sound of famous synth filters. With this plugin bundle, it’s easy to create atmospheric drops by low-pass filtering the high-end out. Or why not by cutting the bass with a high-pass filter, creating a bit of tension and expectation before a chorus, for example?

The fun doesn’t stop there. Beyond simply using the filters as they were originally designed, you can also use one of the many added features to step things up. Start experimenting with envelope programing, push your input gain and saturate your signal with analog drive, or add a bit of randomness to your sequences. You can also map your controller keyboard to any of the 3 Filter’s MIDI CC parameters, letting you adjust and perform using any of the filters on the fly. This is great for use in a live setting, giving you instant, hands-on control.
