Sweeping filters that wrap static mixes in motion are a cornerstone of modern music, with entire genres defined by this technique.
Introducing Motion Filter by Denise Audio, a plugin that allows you to create movement in response to the dynamics of your tracks or sweeping tonal shifts that unfold over time.
In subtle settings, Motion Filter behaves like a traditional filter with a touch of organic movement. At extreme settings, it can transform any sound into a captivating mix element, even serving as a surgical alternative to traditional sidechain tools.
Key Features
- Clean and Pristine Filter: Offers a smooth and uniform response across the entire frequency range, thanks to its Nyquist-corrected architecture.
- Dynamic or Periodic Motion: Choose between the classic Sweeper mode for envelope-controlled sweeps or the new LFO mode for waveform-based motion.
- Clean, Functional, and Intuitive: Visualize filter action and customize behavior with a user-friendly interface.
Here are some ways to utilize Motion Filter:
- Set minimum and maximum frequencies to ensure optimal results.
- Sweep the filter’s resonance with the cutoff frequency for varied tonal changes.
- Engage sidechain mode to use dynamics from one source to affect another's filter characteristics.
- Reverse filter motion direction for added versatility.
Flexible Filter Characteristics
- Multi-Mode Filter: Choose from low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, and notch filter modes.
- Slopes up to 96 dB/octave: Allows for gentle or surgical filtering without introducing artifacts.
Two Motion Modes: LFO and Envelope
- Sweeper: Uses track dynamics as a modulation source for envelope-controlled filtering.
- LFO: Crafts patterns of recurring sweeps based on wave shapes, syncable to the host's tempo.
Motion Filter lets you apply dynamic effects anywhere in your mix without entering automation lanes. Filters have been a fundamental tool in sound design, covering a vast sonic territory. Motion Filter delivers everything you need with a CPU-light, surgically clean sound, and a slick interface.
