In this week's Free Plugin, we are featuring Filtron from Polyverse. A brand new, flexible filter plugin.
What Is Filtron?
Filtron is a 12dB state variable filter that can smoothly transition between lowpass, bandpass, and highpass. It is capable of self-oscillation with resonance levels that can reach up to 11! Filtron also features a fat sounding internal saturation algorithm and a sizzly post overdrive with two modes to choose from: cold and hot.
When we tried it we found it sounded great, was very flexible and once we’d changed the knob mode from Round to Linear, very easy to use. It’s flexible too. The state variable filter can create shapes which are inbetween low and a band pass or band and high pass, and the filter is very resonant and goes into self oscillation easily.
The Drive feature comes in two flavours, with the hot option sounding like it favours the odd harmonics. With a resonant high pass set up with a little drive I was able to get a very meaty kick drum using Filtron, it’s useful for more than just filter sweep effects, though it does those very well.
