BLEASS Filter

Description

From sculpting synths and adding punch to drums to transforming vocals and guitars, BLEASS Filter is the perfect tool for sonic exploration. Inspired by classic analog filters, but with a modern, intuitive interface, BLEASS Filter delivers exceptional sound and a tactile user experience, complete with clear visual feedback.

A static filter can be uninspiring. That’s why BLEASS Filter includes both an envelope follower and an LFO. The envelope follower reacts dynamically to your audio, while the LFO creates rhythmic sweeps and movement, synced to the beat or free-running.

With its versatility, efficient processing, and attractive price, BLEASS Filter is sure to inject new character into your audio and spark your creativity.

Key Features and Controls:

Input Section:

• Gain: Adjusts the input signal volume, influencing the envelope follower’s sensitivity.
• Sens: Controls the envelope follower’s sensitivity, working in tandem with the Gain control to determine when and how strongly a new envelope cycle is triggered.
• Attack: Sets how quickly the envelope responds to signal peaks.
• Release: Determines how quickly the envelope returns to its resting state.
• Envelope: Controls the depth and direction of the envelope’s influence on the filter cutoff frequency. Positive values increase the cutoff, while negative values decrease it.
• Meter: Visualizes the envelope follower’s activity.

Filter Section:

• Filter Graph: Displays the filter’s current settings and allows for direct manipulation. Drag horizontally to adjust the cutoff frequency and vertically to control resonance.
• Mode: Selects the filter type: low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, and notch.
• X2: Enhances the filter effect, accentuating resonant frequencies and creating a sharper cutoff slope (or a wider notch for the notch filter).

LFO Section:

• Sync: Toggles between free-running and beat-synced LFO modes.
• Waveform: Selects the LFO waveform: sine, triangle, sawtooth up, sawtooth down, square, and sample-and-hold.
• Rate (Free Mode): Sets the LFO cycle length in seconds (from 16 seconds to 50 milliseconds).
• Sync Rate (Beat Sync Mode): Sets the LFO cycle length in musical note values (from 4 bars to 1/32 note).
• Offset (Beat Sync Mode): Adjusts the LFO’s phase relative to the beat.
• Stereo: Creates a phase difference between the left and right channels of the LFO signal.
• Amount: Controls the LFO’s impact on the filter cutoff frequency.
• Meter: Visualizes the LFO’s influence on the filter cutoff.
