Rave Generation: Filterbank
Multi-mode filter bank
Advanced analog filter modeling with dual filters, modulation matrix, and rich distortion characteristics. From experimental soundscapes to aggressive mix character. Warmth and character in a precision digital environment.
Features
- Advanced analog modelingFeatures designed State Variable Filter architecture with non-linear feedback paths, capacitor simulation, and component interaction modeling for a rich analog-style sound.
- Dual filter systemTwo independent filters with lowpass, bandpass, and highpass modes, each enhanced with ladder-style resonance feedback and precise blending capabilities. The filters can be arranged in parallel or serial configurations for maximum flexibility.
- Multi-stage distortion + Neural saturationIntroduces analog-style warmth or aggressive harmonic enhancement through multiple distortion algorithms including asymmetric processing, DC offset management, and dynamic component saturation. Includes four Neural modes powered by LSTM machine learning, each with its own saturation voicing.
- Modulation matrixIntegrates LFO, ADSR, and AR envelope generators with multiple trigger sources (Audio, SC, MIDI) for evolving, dynamic control over all filter parameters. FM and AM modulation sources are independently switchable between internal and sidechain routing for advanced creative patching. The LFO can be aimed at fourteen different destinations - not just the filter cutoffs, but the filter shape, the resonance, the parallel/serial routing and the dry/wet mix - turning one modulator into a whole matrix.
- Routable envelopeThe ADSR is not tied to the filter cutoffs. Like the LFO it can be aimed at fourteen destinations - the filter shape, the correction blend, the resonance, the routing or the mix - so a single hit can morph the filter rather than only sweep it. Depth is bipolar per filter, so the two can be driven in opposite directions from the same envelope.
- Switchable drive routingThe distortion can sit before the filters, where the filter carves the dirt, or after them, where the resonant peak is what drives the distortion. One click, two very different characters from the same distortion mode.
- Global feedback loopRoutes the filter output back into the input ahead of the drive stage, recreating the classic patch-cable feedback trick. A dedicated tone control damps the returning signal from dark to bright, taking the sound from thickened and resonant through to howling and self-oscillating, always under control.
- Advanced envelope systemFeatures Attack-Release (AR) amplitude control and Attack-Decay-Sustain-Release (ADSR) modulation with analog-inspired timing characteristics and multiple trigger modes including envelope follower functionality.
- Thermal drift simulationEmploys subtle modulation of harmonic distortion characteristics to create a "breathing" quality, adding organic variation to the sound over time.
- Precision pitch trackingDynamically adjusts filter frequencies based on input pitch detection, creating musical filter responses that complement the source material.
- High-quality signal processingEmploys 4x oversampling with sophisticated anti-aliasing for pristine audio quality, even with extreme settings.
- MIDI integrationFull MIDI CC compatibility with specialized note triggering system for live performance and sequenced modulation.
