Turning the central button on the sweet side, decreases the transients amplitude. On the bitter side, the transients amplitude is magnified. Bitter-Sweet also features a control for the signal to be processed. When the main position is engaged, the process affects the stereo signal. If Center is engaged, only the M signal of the internal MS matrix is processed. If stereo is selected, only the S signal from the MS matrix is processed. Three transient detection modes can be selected. A varying period of integration for transients can be accessed. A Link function is available to compensate the output gain regarding the transient processing setting.
As all Flux:: plug-ins it features 64 bit floating point processing, up to 8 channels and up to 8 FS (384 KHz). Center and Stereo Modes are only available in stereo (2 channels) processing.

The Delta Series is a plug-in toolkit containing five free plugins that encompass filtering, distortion, phasing, delays and spatialisation.

GLow is a resonant low-pass filter. It has three simple controls and one useful purpose. It filters out frequencies above a user-defined cut-off frequency, and adds variable amounts of resonance at that point.

SubFilterII is an expanded version of the original SubFilter plug-in with a wider range of cutoff frequencies. SubFilterII has a selectable cutoff slope of -12, -24 or -36dB/Octave and a cutoff frequency variable from 10Hz to 1KHz. The filter is extremely useful for removing thumps, bumps and low frequency rumble noise from your audio. The filter has 2 controls: cutoff slope and cutoff frequency. The passband is flat (Butterworth filter) and has unity gain. In addition to audio cleanup tasks, SubFilterII can be used with HyperFilter (below) to create “am radio”, “megaphone” and other classic sounds.

SVF2 is a 2-pole State Variable Filter (12 dB/oct) which gives the user the option of using low pass, band pass, band reject, high pass, or peak filter output for each stereo channel. More importantly, the user can morph between filter types as he sees fit, and modify the order in which each filter type morphs into the next. This can result in some truly dramatic phase effects, making the SVF2 a powerful creative tool.

Bugpass is a a dual-function plug-in. Its primary job is to serve as a bandpass filter, with sliders which enable a quick visual reference to the size of the frequency band being passed through. However, by reversing the sliderpositions, BugPass will also serve as a notch filter, eliminating frequencies between the sliders while leaving the remaining frequencies intact.

Crayon Filter is a multi-band filter plug-in. The band controls allow you to add a type of filter to the output of the signal. You can engage up to five filter types at once (one of each type). Low Pass attenuates high frequencies, giving your sound a “dull” feel. Band Pass attenuates both above and below the cutoff frequency, for a “thin” or “nasal” sound…

The MP5D is a filter plugin with separate lfos for modifying the cutoff and resonance dynamically. • Multipass Filter for LP, HP, BP, Notch and Peaking
• LFO for Cutoff with a max. speed of 2Hz
• LFO for Resonance with a max. speed of 2Hz
• Master Section with Clipping
• The LFO Depth set is calculated by the settings for Cutoff/Resonance and will have a maximum range of the value between the Cutoff/Resonance settings and the highest (if higher than 50%) or the lowest (if lower than 50%) value, so that the LFO spins around the set value for Cutoff/Resonance.
An Example: If is set a Cutoff value of 75% and the Cutoff LFO-depth is set to 100%, the LFO will spin the cutoff between 50% and 100% with the set value for LFO-speed. That means, that a set value for Cutoff/Resonance of 0% or 100% will not affect a LFO modulation.

The FD STEREO is a filter delay with separate controls each stereo channel. The delayed sound is sent over a filter, that can be mixed between Lowpass and Bandpass to modify the sound. The step control is based upon the playing speed of the host.
• Step-controlled Delay (1-16)
• Feedback control
• Separate controls for each stereo channel
• Dry/Wet control
• Delayfilter cutoff and resonance
• Adjustable Lowpass/Bandpass mix

Rubberfilter provides up to 64th order butterworth filters to rubber out frequencies. This plugin was made to be a static tool. Automation of any parameter is on your own risk.

The QR filter implements a lowpass if the frequency slider is on the left and a highpass if the slider is on the right. In between the audio is passed through. Additionally the Q can be changed.

This implementation of A, B and C weighting filters (GUI-less) also features a plain C interface, that might come handy for other applications as well. The above plot shows the analouge prototype (dotted, dark green), a simple bilinear transformation to the digital implementation and some other proprietary variations, that are closer to the original without using more CPU resources than necessary.

GBand is a resonant band-pass filter. A typical band-pass filter is configured by selecting a central frequency “node” and adjusting the Q (width) of the band surrounding the node. GBand operates in a much more intuitive way. It is actually composed of a low-cut and a high-cut filter operating in series.

GHi is a resonant high-pass filter. It has three simple controls and one useful purpose. It filters out frequencies above a user-defined cut-off frequency, and adds variable amounts of resonance at that point.

breakdown is a filter effect with an internal variable length step sequencer. it allows you to select the type of filter, cutoff and resonance for each step, as well as start, end, and sequencer modes for a wide variety of effects. breakdown can be hand set to create wah wah, gate, and wobble effects, or use the patch randomizer for some intense audio mangling.

HyperFilter is a high frequency filter with a selectable cutoff slope of -12, -24 or -36dB/Octave. The filter is extremely useful for removing hiss, crackles and even sampling noise from your audio. The filter has 2 controls: cutoff slope and cutoff frequency. The cutoff frequency is variable from 1KHz to 20KHz. The passband is flat (Butterworth filter) and has unity gain. The cutoff frequency upper limit is automatically adjusted depending on sample rate (for example, upper limit when used on 22.05KHz sample rate signals is 10KHz).
Telephone is a simple yet highly realistic telephone audio simulator. This plug-in uses very steep, 6 pole high-pass and low-pass filters to create the telephone audio bandwidth of 350Hz - 3KHz.

Kaotica is a 12db/octave band pass filter modulated by a “Fractal” LFO.
The key of the effect is the Mu parameter, it’s the seed for the fractal shape, for each value of Mu you got a different LFO waveform: sometimes close to a random behaviour, other times performing cyclic patterns. Each value leads to a unique shape.
You can set the LFO rate in Hz and the Hardness of the LFO waveform: smooth or hard jumps.

This is a MIDI-controllable filter, that gives all your plugins or synths that famous thick sound you all know well. It is true stereo. Put it as an insert into your audio track or behind your synth plugin. Use the frequency and resonance dial for a static sound, or feed it with MIDI-notes to use the integrated envelope generator

A simple filter with LFO.

sweepie is a simple dual rotating filter effect

The Warped LPC filter plugin simulates the structure of a warped linear-predictive codec implemented with warped lattice filters.
Linear prediction coding ’whitens’ a signal by performing a spectral analysis and filtering out peak components. The output can then be used as the input to a similar reconstruction filter that adds the spectral peaks removed in the first step.
Warping the frequency scale of the predictor allows for the frequency scale to match the human auditory system. Individual adjustment of the warping parameter at each stage allows the user to create interesting effects by filtering using a frequency-dependent adaptive filter, and filter coefficients can be rotated to create bizarre phasing effects.

Mukoco is a comb filter based on the core code from MutantKoto.
The algorithm is an abstraction of a simple plucked string physical model, it is used as an effect on a stereo input stream. The left channel is fed into string polarization A and the right channel is fed into string polarization B. The MutantKoto model acts as an optionally non-linear comb filter on both channels.

Macomate 88 is a comb filter VST plug-in for Windows.
An input signal is fed into an array of parallel comb filters. These comb filters are tuned using a microtuning .TUN Scala file, and individual filter decay, brightness etc. can be set using the GUI. The filters’ output volumes can be increased by their corresponding notes using MIDI channels #1, 3-16 and a monophonic feedback line can be tuned via MIDI channel #2.
The effect can be used as a reverb, a tuned resonator, a plucked string instrument, a horribly distorted feedback generator and many combinations thereof.
