Why use it
What it doesA lowpass filter that follows what you play.
Reach for it whenFunk guitar and clavinet. Bass that should open when you dig in. Loops that need movement.
What makes it differentLadder filter with enough drive to self-oscillate, and separate controls for how far it sweeps and how fast it chases.
A lowpass filter that follows what you play. Set how far it sweeps and how
fast it chases, then drive it until the resonance starts to sing.
FILTER
· CUTOFF 20 Hz to 12 kHz
· RESONANCE push it to the edge
· 2-POLE / 4-POLE gentle or steep
ENVELOPE
· AMOUNT how far the envelope sweeps the filter
· FOLLOW RATE slow to fast
· MIX blend the filtered signal against the dry
ALSO
· DRIVE and OUTPUT for pushing the input
· ACTIVE footswitch with true bypass
· Envelope and level indicators on the front panel
Watch the ghost at the bottom — it's been there the whole time.
WHAT'S NEW IN 1.6.2
· Added a 3 Hz DC blocker on the ladder's wet path. The mean offset on a strong 997 Hz input went from -0.02438 to +0.000022.
· Preset output levels corrected — Dirty Talk peaked at 2.447 and now peaks at 0.954.
· Knobs show their exact value while you drag them.
· The In switch no longer clicks (0.0004 at the transition).
· Fixed a crash that could bring the host down: closing the plug-in window and then removing the plug-in left a timer running on freed data.
· Licence activation fixed: a bundle key now counts one activation per computer instead of one per plug-in, so one key covers five machines as stated.
· Rebuilt, re-signed and notarized for macOS (Universal) and Windows.
REGISTRATION
· The plug-in runs unrestricted for a 7-day trial from first launch, counted separately for each plugin.
· Your licence key is on your Gumroad receipt and on the download page.
· Paste it into the plug-in once — it needs internet that one time, then works offline.
· Message me on Gumroad if you need it reset for a new machine.
