## What is WOW Filterbox?

WOW2 is here! With a future-dripping user interface, 21 incredible filter types with the famous vowel mode. With distortions that cover your tracks with gas and put them on fire. Modulations that cause more trouble than your modular dark room. And finally that warm and juicy sound, that you were looking for.

- 21 Filter types like Lowpass, Bandpass, Highpass, Bandreject, Comb and much more. Low pass types up to 48 db, including flavors like SVF, Diode Ladder and Transistor Ladder.
The filters and distortions have been designed for best harmonics without aliasing, for high definition audio quality.

- Three different analog modeling overdrives and four digital distortion functions are included. Use them pre or post the filter.

- Modulation is power. Power is ***. Create stunning trance gates with the step sequencer, do some giant wobbles with the wobble generator or let all the modulators interact with each other. The LFO offers many different wave forms, restart options and sync flavors. 

- Presets are just one click away. Randomize presets to inspire yourself.

### 4/5 — Amazing filter, cool iOS add On’s, slightly cranky preset management

*2026-01-25, version 2.5.8*

Great filter, love the additional touch controls for iOS. Like so many sugar bytes plugs, feels like it was really designed for this platform and then ported elsewhere with fewer features at a much higher cost (why can’t we have those features on the pc version which costs 4times as much? PCs have touchscreens too..) Only flaw of this version is the preset management. The file structure is inaccessible, and there seems to be no option to save presets into the midi programs folder, which renders that very useful feature inoperable. It’s not addressed at all in the manual. I don’t know if maybe it’s a change in iOS that has broken something in the way it used to function, but right now there’s just no obvious way to use that feature. Still a great sounding filter though

### 4/5 — Very nice sounding filter but...

*2021-04-16, version 2.5.2*

I have a bug that cause the auv3 plug to be silent after a short period of time in AUM on iPad Air 4 at 96khz , I will investigate deeper but at this time I can’t use it anymore. Sad... I love sugar bytes stuff, top notch fx, so I hope they’ll fix it soon. Thx

### 5/5 — Wow!

*2020-02-22, version 2.5.0*

I was just using this for the last 2 days (after forgetting about it for a year) wishing it was an Audio Unit. I guess my wish came true!

### 4/5 — Clear sound!

*2020-02-21, version 2.5.0*

But blurry GUI on iPad Pro :-)

### 5/5 — Finally

*2020-02-21, version 2.5.0*

This app is awesome but I haven’t used it much lately due to not being AU. Glad to see this update!

### 4/5 — AU Please!

*2019-09-23, version 2.2.2*

Please add AU support!

### 3/5 — Needs Audio Units

*2019-08-12, version 2.2.2*

Amazing app being left behind due to no Audio Units. Please Update this and Effectrix.

### 3/5 — Wait for AUV3

*2019-01-02, version 2.2.2*

Wow is a great filter, but cumbersome if you want efficient daw function.  I believe they are working on audio units for all of their existing and future products.  Some of their other synths have recently been converted.

### 5/5 — I’m sure AU is coming!?!

*2018-10-28, version 2.2.2*

WHAT NEEDS TO BE SAID ABOUT THIS OTHER THAN.....

                                                          ... W0W ...

### 5/5 — No working as IAA and audiobus

*2018-09-08, version 2.2.2*

Guys please fix WoW! And make it Audio Units!!
Please
