Midinaut Filta: Parallel Stereo Filter for Creative Sound Design
Filters are an essential tool in the arsenal of anyone working with sound. They allow you to shape timbre, remove unwanted frequencies, and add movement to sounds. However, standard filters often work sequentially, which can limit creative possibilities. Midinaut Filta offers a different approach, using a unique parallel stereo architecture to expand your sound horizons.
Key Features of Midinaut Filta
Parallel Filtering
Unlike sequential processing, Midinaut Filta simultaneously passes the stereo signal through low-pass and high-pass filters. This allows you to create more complex frequency curves and unique sound textures by mixing the filtering results. You get more flexibility in shaping the sound, having separate control over each filter type in parallel mode.
Resonance
Each parallel filter has independent resonance control. This parameter amplifies the frequencies near the cutoff point, adding a characteristic peak or “wah-wah” effect to the sound. Resonance is a powerful tool for adding expressiveness and articulation, allowing you to give the sound a specific timbral coloring and dynamics.
Stereo LFO
To add movement, Midinaut Filta is equipped with an independent stereo LFO for each filter. This allows you to modulate the left and right channels separately with different parameters (waveform, speed, phase). This approach opens up wide possibilities for creating dynamic stereo effects, expanding the sound field, and adding complex spatial movement to your sounds.

Creative Use
Midinaut Filta is a versatile tool for a variety of tasks:
- Sound Design: Create unique textures and effects by combining parallel filtering and stereo modulation.
- Rhythmic Effects: Synchronize LFOs to create pulsating filters that add groove.
- Spatial Sound: Use stereo LFOs to expand the stereo base and simulate sound movement.
- Timbre Shaping: Precisely adjust the frequency balance and add resonant accents.
Midinaut Filta is an instrument that inspires experimentation. Its unique parallel architecture and stereo modulation capabilities make it a valuable addition for the modern producer who strives for original and dynamic sound.
