Sounds like analogue

Just like a high-quality analogue filter, FilterShaper XL always sounds great – even with the hardest, fastest modulations.

It's all possible due to our best-ever filter DSP, with zero-delay feedback (ZDF) algorithms, resonance compensation, internal saturation, and oversampling of the entire signal path.

20 colorful filter types

Discover 20 powerful, punchy filter types for juiced-up basslines, sweeping synths, modulated percussion, explosive FX, and more.

Choose Warm filters that are fat and driven, inspired by the Sallen-Key filters of a legendary semimodular synthesizer. Need modern precision? Go for our crisp and clear Clean filters instead.

Advanced resonance control

Cranking the resonance might be the most fun you can have with a filter – but with strong resonance comes squealing feedback and high volume levels!

FilterShaper XL gets it all under control with a Safe mode that limits resonance to stable levels. Advanced users can switch it off to unleash the full fury of a self-oscillating filter.

And our Warm filters have added Resonance Drive inside the resonance circuit, emulating a real analogue filter pushed to the limit. Crank it up to get gritty textures and velvet-smooth resonant peaks. Hard mode gives you a further edgy sonic flavor.

Dual drive stages

Distortion brings filters to life – and with a punchy Drive section on each filter stage, that power is in your hands.

Go from subtle saturation to flat-out distortion. Switch it pre- or post-filter for drastically different textures.

60 LFOs and 50 Envelopes

With two filters, 60 LFOs and 50 envelope followers, you have a detailed, interconnected toolbox for shaping your sound.

Just click a parameter – Cutoff, Resonance, Volume or Pan – and start editing the main LFO and Envelope Follower.

Then use LFO 2 to shift your shapes up and down over time. Control the depth of modulation itself with a dedicated Amount LFO. And use the Speed LFO to rhythmically speed up and slow down your patterns.

Easy LFO editing

Our easiest ever LFO-editing tools make it simple to draw the exact filter movements you want to hear.

Design flowing cutoff patterns and juicy resonance sweeps – any shape you can imagine, just clicks away. It's easy, fast and fun.

Flexible Envelope Followers

Use Envelope Followers to dynamically filter synths, basslines, drums, melodies – anything.

Increase Cutoff as synths get louder – or boost Resonance as volume decays.
