Liść-step by Saltline is a 16-step sequenced State Variable Filter. This VST plugin allows you to quickly and easily create dynamic modulated filter patterns using a built-in step sequencer or a flexible Low-Frequency Oscillator (LFO). Add movement and character to your sounds.
State Variable Filter
The core of the plugin is a State Variable Filter, offering four classic modes:
- Low Pass
- High Pass
- Band Pass
- Band Reject
Key parameters available are: Frequency Cutoff and Resonance. These parameters are the primary targets for modulation.
Cutoff Frequency Modulation Sources
The filter cutoff frequency can be controlled by one of two powerful built-in modulation sources:
16-Step Sequencer
The sequencer allows you to create rhythmic and stepped filter changes. Key parameters include:
- Sequencer Rate
- Step Amount
- Sequence Direction (4 modes)
- Glide Amount
- Amount to Cutoff
Ideal for creating pulsing effects and step filtering.
Low-Frequency Oscillator (LFO)
The LFO offers smoother, cyclical modulation shapes. LFO parameters:
- 5 waveforms (Sine, Saw, Triangle, Square with Pulse Width)
- LFO Rate (Free tempo or host synchronization)
- Wave Position
- Amount to Cutoff
Excellent for creating “wah,” “tremolo” (on the filter), and smooth “sweep” effects.
Conclusion
Liść-step by Saltline is an effective and intuitive VST plugin for dynamic filtering. The combination of a versatile filter, a 16-step sequencer, and a flexible LFO makes it a powerful tool for sound design and creating unique modulated patterns. The plugin is available for Windows (32-bit). Add Liść-step to your collection and expand your creative possibilities.
