Variety of Filter Types
The plugin offers a comprehensive set of filters for any sound processing needs:
- LP 12dB and 24dB: Classic low-pass filters for smoothing the highs.
- HP 12dB and 24dB: High-pass filters for cleaning the lows.
- BP 12dB and UGBP 12dB: Bandpass filters for highlighting or shaping specific frequency ranges.
- Notch 12dB: For precise removal of unwanted resonances or noises.
- Peak 12dB: For targeted boosting or cutting of frequencies.
- Allpass 12dB: A unique filter for experimenting with phase.
- Comb: For creating comb resonances and modulation effects.
Powerful LFO Capabilities
The built-in LFO is a key tool for adding movement and modulation:
- Waveforms: Choose between Sine, Triangle, Ramp Up, Ramp Down, Pulse for a variety of modulation paths.
- Flexible Tempo Synchronization: Adjust the LFO frequency from 0.01 Hz to 100.0 Hz or synchronize it with your DAW’s tempo (from 16 bars to 1/64t).
Creative Applications and Compatibility
The application of Basic Filters is extremely diverse. You can use it for classic tone shaping, such as cutting unwanted low frequencies on a guitar or smoothing out harsh highs on vocals. However, the real power is revealed when using modulation capabilities. With the help of the LFO, you can create automatic wah-wah effects on a synthesizer, rhythmic pulsations on a pad, or evolving textures on background sounds. The envelope that responds to the input signal allows you to create dynamic effects where the filter opens or closes depending on the volume or attack of the instrument, adding liveliness and expression. The combination of the trigger, envelope, and LFO opens the door to experimental sound design, allowing you to create unique and unexpected effects that will make your music stand out.
Basic Filters is available in VST and AU formats for 64-bit Windows and macOS systems, ensuring wide compatibility with most modern DAWs.
Whether you’re into sound design, mixing, or mastering, Basic Filters from Fabric 70 provides flexible and productive tools for shaping your sound. Experiment with different filter types, use the envelope and LFO capabilities for dynamic movement, and discover new horizons in your music production.
