Filtering is the cornerstone of sound design and mixing. It not only allows you to clean up the sound, but also to give it a unique character and dynamics. Introducing Ceres – a VST audio filter from B Serrano, designed for those who want to add life and movement to their musical ideas.
Ceres goes beyond the usual filter, combining classic filter types with powerful modulation tools, turning it into a flexible tool for creative sound experiments.
Versatile Filter Types for Any Task
Ceres is equipped with the main filter types that cover most timbre-shaping needs:
- Low Pass: Cuts off high frequencies, creating a warm, soft sound or an immersion effect.
- High Pass: Cuts off low frequencies, cleaning up the sound or mimicking “radio”.
- Band Pass: Passes only a certain band, ideal for highlighting elements or creating resonances.
- Notch: Cuts a narrow band, useful for removing unwanted resonances or creating a “wow” effect.
- Peak: Amplifies the selected band, adding accents and resonances.
Easy switching between these modes makes Ceres adaptable to any audio material.
Add Life: Powerful Modulation Capabilities
The real magic of Ceres lies in its ability to modulate the filter, adding dynamics and rhythm:
Dynamic Response and Rhythmic Movement
- DADSR Envelope: Allows the filter to dynamically respond to each note or trigger (Delay, Attack, Decay, Sustain, Release). Create “wow” effects that follow the melody, or shape the unique attack and decay of the timbre.
- Two BPM-synced LFOs: Bring a rhythmic pulse to your sound. Two independent LFOs can sync with the project tempo, allowing you to create cyclic modulations, perfect for dance music, or add subtle, synchronized “floating”.
- 8-step Sequencer: Program up to 8 unique steps for the filter parameter. Create complex, repetitive rhythmic patterns, arpeggiated filter lines, or unpredictable sequences that will add originality to your tracks.
By combining the envelope, LFO, and sequencer, you get endless possibilities to create extremely lively, evolving, and rhythmic sound textures that perfectly integrate into your mix.
Technical Aspects and Compatibility
Ceres is available in VST format and is fully compatible with the Windows operating system (Win32 architecture). It is an efficient and stable plugin that won’t overload your CPU.
Whether you’re working with synthesizers, drums, guitars, or vocals, Ceres from B Serrano offers powerful tools for creative sound shaping. From subtle correction to radical modulation effects – this plugin will be a valuable addition to your studio.
