Audio effects

Auto Filter

A resonant filter moved by an LFO or by the loudness of the input.

What it does

A resonant filter moved by an LFO or by the loudness of the input.

Add it to a track

Select the destination track, open Plugins, and choose Add Effect. Find this device in Library → Devices → Audio Effects. Effects process the signal from the devices before them in the chain.

Controls

ControlWhat to listen or look for
ListenAuditions only the filtered signal; turning this off restores the stored wet/dry mix.
TypeChooses low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, or notch filtering.
CutoffSets the frequency where the filter acts on the sound.
ResonanceSets the filter's resonance or bandwidth; higher values make a narrower, stronger emphasis.
LFO AmountSets the strength and direction of the oscillator's modulation of the filter cutoff.
RateSets how fast the modulation cycle repeats.
SyncLocks timing to the project tempo instead of a free-running time or rate.
Synced RateChooses a musical note division for tempo-synchronized timing.
ShapeChooses the waveform of the repeating modulation.
Stereo PhaseOffsets the modulation cycle between the left and right channels.
Env AmountSets how strongly the envelope moves the filter cutoff.
AttackSets how quickly the envelope follower responds to rising input level.
ReleaseSets how quickly the envelope follower relaxes as input level falls.
MixBlends the original signal with the processed signal; 100% gives only the processed sound.
SlopeSets how steeply the filter attenuates frequencies beyond its cutoff.
DrivePushes the signal into nonlinear processing, adding distortion and harmonics.
Env SourceChooses peak or averaged signal level for the envelope follower.
LFO 2Sets the strength and direction of the oscillator's modulation of the filter cutoff.

Work with this device

Start with a short passage that represents your material. Change one control at a time. Compare at a similar listening level, using the device's power control to bypass it. Save a version of the project before making a large change.
