Filterscape

A trio of plugins with morphing EQ

Filterscape consists of Filterscape FX, Filterscape VA, and Filterscape Q6. At the core of all three plugins is the distinctive EQ, capable of seamlessly transitioning between 8 different "snapshots". Each EQ band’s frequency and amplitude can be dynamically modulated, even from different sources for each snapshot! With a sleek and future-proof design rework, Filterscape has become more visually appealing and more comfortable to use.

Filterscape FX

• Multi-band morphing EQ - Get surgical with the classic LS-Peak-Peak-HS mode or try your hand at the more exotic multi-bandpass modes. Either way, you can get up to 24 dB of cut and boost per band. EQ bands can be individually modulated at the snapshot level as well as globally.

• Snapshot morphing - Smoothly transition between up to 8 different EQ settings: either manually, in auto-mode or using any of the available modulation sources. Automate these snapshots in your DAW to suit different sections of your track.

• Multi-mode filters - 2 parallel state-variable filters (lowpass, bandpass, highpass and notch) offer both legacy and novel analogue-modeled designs. The blender control lets you seamlessly fade between all 4 modes. It even lets you blur the boundaries between the modes as you fade into an allpass, which is great for phasing effects.

Filterscape VA

• Multi-band morphing EQ - A unique feature of Filterscape VA is its polyphonic morphing EQ. Use it to animate your sounds with comb-filters, vowel-like formants, barberpole phasers and much more. EQ bands can be individually modulated at the snapshot level as well as globally.

• Snapshot morphing - Smoothly transition between up to 8 different EQ settings: either manually, in auto-mode or using any of the available modulation sources. Automate these snapshots in your DAW to suit different sections of your track.

• Oscillator wavetables - For each of the 2 oscillators you can pick one out of 15 wavetables (from classic analogue to more unusual spectra) and modulate the wavetable position with a range of mod sources. We have added 6 new wavetables to the original selection. Phase modulation and FM allow you to further expand the sonic palette.

• Multi-mode filter - U-He have added 9 filter types which are modeled on analogue circuits. This design is far superior to the legacy version in terms of character and audio-rate modulation fidelity. The filter section also sports a drive section for that extra quantum of grit and warmth.

Filterscape Q6

Filterscape Q6 features the same morphing EQ as in Filterscape FX, but with additional low and high shelving filters - hence the name Q6. The four envelope followers can react to different frequencies within the track and modulate just about anything. You can seamlessly automate the EQ settings using just one parameter: snapshot index. Q6 is an engineer's dream come true in a simple but sophisticated interface.

• 6-band equalizer: 4 bands like Filterscape’s EQ plus high and low shelving filters

• 8 morphable snapshots for user-defined EQ settings

• 4 frequency-dependent envelope followers with adjustable signal threshold and filtering for the trigger
