A morphing multistage filter with chaotic colors
Heavy, gritty, banded, formed under pressure. A morphing multi-stage filter with colorful chaos. Two pre-filters into a saturating, pressurizing ladder — unpredictable and full of happy accidents. Made for drums, deep bass and textural noise, but it’ll morph into pads just as easily, or high-end analog-style sizzle in HP mode. Equal parts FX, instrument and sound-design tool.
morph pad – blend between whole-patch snapshots on an XY field; freely place points and glide between them live (XY is MIDI-mappable).
break / chaos engine – wavefolding, bitcrushing, clicks and more folded into the ladder – a playable nonlinear system.
high-quality ZDF transistor ladder + resonant SVF pre-filters, both stereo-detunable.
input-gated damping for transient sculpting and taming self-oscillation.
controls are MIDI-learnable (absolute and relative/modulation modes).
filter cutoffs playable by MIDI notes — per-stage channel selectors, glide, note-relative shifts.
coherent patch randomization and mutation.
custom UI builder — arrange your own control layout.
up to 8× oversampling.
lots of presets (try stacking two instances at ~0.5 mix each).
System requirements: Windows 10+, macOS 13.5+
