Filterjam is a multi-band resonant filter delivering weird ringmod-like filtered sounds. The input signal is divided into 4 bands that are then summed or multiplied together according to the selected mode. Filterjam can be very harsh or gentle, it can add brightness or depth to synth sounds, but it can also completely mangle acoustic sources.

SIMPLIFY FOR ANY SKILL LEVEL Four simplify levels let you adapt any song for any player: Full — exactly as written Clean — strips ornaments (Cadd9 → C, Gsus2 → G) Basic — triads only, no 7ths or extensions Beginner — easiest possible fingering for the selected tuning CAPO SUPPORT Set a capo and every diagram automatically shows the correct open-position shape to play, with the original written chord name shown for reference.
