Explore New Sonic Horizons with TwoRuleFilter
Welcome to the world of creative audio processing with the TwoRuleFilter plugin from 2Rule! This powerful VST filter is much more than just a standard tool for shaping timbre. It combines classic analog character with unique modern capabilities, allowing you to create original and dynamic sound textures.
At the heart of TwoRuleFilter is a self-resonant Moog-type filter, known for its rich, vibrant sound and the ability to “screaming” resonances. This gives you instant access to a vintage character that can be applied to any sound source.
Universal Filter with Character
TwoRuleFilter offers three main filter modes:
- Low Pass: Passes low frequencies, cutting off the high ones. Ideal for softening, creating “underwater” effects, or shaping deep bass.
- High Pass: Passes high frequencies, cutting off the low ones. Great for cleaning up a mix, creating “radio” effects, or highlighting details in the upper part of the spectrum.
- Band Pass: Passes a band of frequencies, cutting off low and high ones. Indispensable for wow-wow effects or highlighting elements in a mix.
Each mode, combined with controlled resonance, opens up a wide range of tonal sculpting possibilities.
Powerful Modulation Capabilities
To give sounds movement and dynamics, TwoRuleFilter is equipped with various modulation sources to control the cutoff frequency:
- Manual Control: The traditional way to set a static frequency or smooth automation.
- LFO: Allows you to cyclically modulate the frequency. Synchronizes with the project tempo to create rhythmic pulsing effects.
- Envelope Follower: Analyzes the dynamics of the input signal and uses it to control the frequency. Allows the sound to “breathe” along with the original.
The Sensitivity knob allows you to adjust the smoothness of parameter changes, providing smooth transitions.
Unique Creative Tools: Scrambler and Bit Crusher
What sets TwoRuleFilter apart are its unique creative features:
- Scrambler: Breaks the beat into intervals and plays the processed signal randomly. Creates captivating, ripped, buffered, synchronized rhythmic patterns. A unique way to add groove and originality.
- Bit Crusher: Reduces bit depth (16 to 1 bit). Adds digital distortion and Lo-Fi character. Combined with the filter and scrambler, it opens up possibilities for experimental sounds.
Flexible Signal Control
The plugin is equipped with controls for integration into the mix:
- Mix: Smoothly mixes the original and processed signals.
- Volume: Output volume control.
TwoRuleFilter by 2Rule is a versatile tool for sound design and adding creative effects. The combination of the classic Moog filter, flexible modulation, and the unique Scrambler and Bit Crusher features makes it indispensable for producers looking for fresh sounds. Experiment to create unexpected textures and add new dimensions to your music.
