Facet
Filter
Sweep between low-pass, band-pass and high-pass filtering. Turn Bend to spread frequencies in time, then add Shimmer for movement.
Morph the filter
Mode moves continuously between low-pass, band-pass and high-pass, so a sweep can change shape as it travels. Slope sets how steep the cutoff is. Resonance emphasises the frequencies around it.
Drive saturates the resonance for a thicker peak.
Bend the timing
Bend spreads frequency arrival times, so parts of the sound reach you later than others. Spread sets how many octaves are affected and Tilt moves the band above or below the cutoff.
The display draws the delay at each frequency as it happens.
Add Shimmer and Beam
Shimmer moves the refraction over time at a rate you set. Beam strikes the filter: freely, on a note value at the host tempo, or when the input crosses a threshold.
Features and requirements
| Filter | Cutoff, Resonance and Drive. Mode morphs continuously between low-pass, band-pass and high-pass. Slope sets the cutoff steepness. |
|---|---|
| Bend | Frequency-dependent delay. Bend sets the amount, Spread the width in octaves, Tilt the band's position above or below the cutoff. |
| Shimmer | Moves the refraction over time. Shimmer sets the depth, Rate the speed. |
| Beam | Strikes the filter freely, synced to a note value at the host tempo, or triggered by the input or an external sidechain. Sens sets the threshold and Level the strength. |
| Output | Dry/wet mix, output gain, input and output meters, and bypass. |
| Requirements | Windows 10 or 11, a 64-bit Intel or AMD processor, and a VST3-compatible DAW. Mono and stereo tracks supported. |
| Controls | Factory and user presets, a resizable interface and DAW automation of effect parameters. |
