Overview

Hybrid Filter offers over 50 different filter types, including morphing, formant, comb, and phaser modes. The built-in envelope follower adds dynamic movement, while a low-frequency crossover ensures your low end remains intact.

Both the standalone plugin and effect rack versions come with presets that range from smooth auto-filtering to morphing vowel filters, and more.

1. Filter Controls

FILTER TYPE: Choose from a variety of filter types, including morphing, comb, formant, and more.

CUTOFF: Adjust the filter's frequency in Hz or as a semitone offset in key track mode.

CUTOFF TUNE: When active, the filter cutoff will be set using exact note values.

RESONANCE: Adjust the resonance of the filter. Higher values will result in sharper peaks in the frequency spectrum.

FILTER SPREAD: Adjust the relative cutoff of the left and right channels to create wide stereo filtering effects. Positive values gradually increase the right filter and lower the left filter. Negative values have the opposite effect.

MORPH: Manipulate the internal filter configurations to create more nuanced and complex effects. The filter will be changed in different ways depending on the selected filter type.

AMP MOD: Add audio rate amplitude modulation that follows the filter's cutoff frequency. This is useful for creating additional harmonics and tonal filter effects, especially when combined with the cutoff TUNE mode.

2. Low Crossover

Activate a multi-band crossover that can be used to preserve the lower frequencies. This is especially useful for bass patches, but you can achieve interesting results with other sounds too.

CROSSOVER FREQUENCY: Adjust the crossover frequency. This setting can preserve the lower harmonics of your sound, but it can also be modulated to create unique filter movements.

MONO LOWS: When activated, the low-frequency band will be summed to mono, eliminating any out-of-phase differences between the stereo channels.

3. Envelope Follower

MORPH FOLLOW: Adjust the depth of modulation applied by the internal envelope follower to MORPH.

CUTOFF FOLLOW: Adjust the depth of modulation applied by the internal envelope follower to the CUTOFF.

ATTACK TIME: Set the amount of time it takes for the envelope follower to reach the maximum level of the input signal.

RELEASE TIME: Set the amount of time it takes for the envelope follower to return to a lower value when the input signal becomes quieter.

4. Utility Controls

INPUT GAIN: Adjusts the gain sent into the effect.

INPUT SEND BUTTON: When active, the input gain will only affect the signal being sent to the effect, leaving the dry signal unaffected. Try combining this with automation or modulation to send only specific parts of your input through the effect.

Try combining this with automation or modulation to send only certain parts of your input through the effect.

DRY WET: Adjusts the balance between the processed (wet) signal and the unprocessed (dry) signal.

OUTPUT GAIN: Adjusts the gain at the end of the effect's processing chain, useful for compensating gain changes or adding creative effects.

OUTPUT SOFT CLIP: Enables a soft-clipping "glue" limiter that prevents output levels from exceeding 0 dB, with the following modes:

• OFF: Limiter is disabled.
• PURPLE: Gentle limiting and saturation, useful for preventing overs while keeping a smoother sound.
• ORANGE: Punchy soft clipping, ideal for more aggressive sounds.
