Mix 2 Oscillators, Noise, Suboscillator. Let Osc1 modulate Osc2 (FM, Hard Sync, Ringmodulation) Two outstanding Oscillators with new Waveform Warp parameter for yet unheard sonic movements
Filterscape's morphing-snapshots EQ for each voice! - Endless spectral modulations! A lowpass filter (12, 24,36 dB) with an overdrive that really screams.


Filterscape VA is a polyphonic synthesizer plugin sporting some intrigueing features. It's easy to use with its familiar parameter set, but it also features some means that go beyond traditional analog emulations.

The rich sound and flexibility of the oscillators with their capability to perform high quality FM, PWM, Hard Sync and Ringmodulation (even all at once - if you like :-) along with the deep impact of a 12/24/36 dB resonant lowpass filter and Filterscape's EQ make Filterscape VA the ideal solution for a broad range of sounds, starting from fat vintage basses over warm and digital pads up to heavily distorted leads. Whatever synth character you need, Filterscape VA delivers!

Filterscape VA features a flexible arpeggiator that can also act like a step sequencer! Play vintage arpeggios, create polyphonic grooves and hooklines, think trance or dare some algorithmic composition!


 
Filterscape VA synthesis:
 
2 Oscillators, Noise and Suboscillator
 
3 Envelope Generators
 
3 LFOs (1 global, 2 per voice)
 
Waveform Warp for Osc1 and Osc2 (seamlessly alters the waveform spectrum, in different ways for different waveforms)
 
Osc1 can modulate Osc2's frequency ( FM ) with arbitrary waveforms, at minimum aliasing (audio rate modulation), a special waveform set (Sine Stacks) allows for classical digital FM sounds
 
Ringmodulation
 
Hard Sync (Osc1 -> Osc2) with the quality renoun from Zebra
 
Inverse Oscillator Volume: Mix the waveform with it's phase-shifted inversion, i.e. for PWM
 
 
  Filterscape VA sound shaping:
 
Resonant lowpass filter with 12/24/36 dB
New: 3 more filter types (LP, BP, HP) with Click and OSC1->FM
 
Overdrive/Saturation: Drive parameter controls the volume of the filter saturation, seperate knobs for Gain and Bias offer control over amount and spectrum of harmonics
 
Resonance / self oscillation can be pushed to levels beyond normal, for mind blowing sounds that literally hurt in conjunction with overdrive
 
4-band eq with 8 snapshots per voice (see Filterscape for details)
 
Built-in chorus for additional warmth and stereo imaging
 
New: Built-in delay effect
 

 

 
Filterscape VA Arpeggiator:
 
Common parameters: Arp Sync (1/64 - 1/1, plus dotted and triplet values), Octave Range (0-2), Arp Loop Direction (up, down, up/down), Order (by note or as played).
 
16 Step Arpeggiator Control Sequence - For each step, you can adjust the following parameters:
  • Transport (next note, same note, first note, etc.)
  • Duration ( 1x - 4x of chosen Sync Tempo)
  • Gate Time, from a short pizzicato to legato (melts with next step)
  • Number of voices (up to 6 voice polyphony for each step)
  • Transpose, +/- 12 semitones
  • New: ArpModulator - add step based modulation to you sequences!

 
 
 
 

 
A special Legato-Portamento parameter (LegPtm) enables normal Portamento or restricts Portamento on steps that are connected in legato mode (Gate Time)
 
Get evolved!
