Liść-step

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.
