Introducing Filtrr: A Versatile Nonlinear Ladder Filter

Filtrr is a unique nonlinear ladder filter plugin designed to offer a wide range of sound-shaping possibilities for electronic music producers. Unlike traditional filters, Filtrr can smoothly morph between various filter types including lowpass, highpass, bandpass, and peak shapes. This flexibility allows users to explore diverse tonal textures within a single plugin.

Smooth Morphing and Modulation Capabilities

One of Filtrr’s standout features is its ability to smoothly blend filter shapes. The filter shape can also be modulated, either internally or via an external control voltage (CV) signal, at audio rate. This modulation capability enables complex and dynamic sound transformations, including FM-like effects that add depth and movement to your tracks.

Unique Nonlinear Distortion Algorithms

Filtrr offers six distinct distortion algorithms. These range from subtle warmth and even-odd harmonic saturation to more aggressive effects like extreme squashing and metallic folding. This variety allows producers to add character and grit to their sounds, enhancing the creative possibilities.

Optimized Performance and User Interface

The plugin employs a fast zero-latency oversampling algorithm to minimize aliasing, ensuring high sound quality. Users can balance CPU usage and audio fidelity according to their needs. Filtrr is also designed to be CPU-friendly with intelligent bypass and automatic update rate adjustments, making it suitable for complex projects.

The user interface is minimalistic and intuitive, optimized for quick workflow with options for dark and light modes and resizable windows. This simplicity helps users focus on sound design without unnecessary distractions.

Pricing and Availability

Filtrr is distributed on a name-your-price basis, allowing users to download it for free or support the developer financially. This model encourages accessibility while supporting ongoing development.
