BLEASS Peaks turns filtering into a fully playable musical experience. Built around a powerful multi-peak bell-style filter engine, it lets you shape and animate sound in ways that go far beyond traditional effects. Create rich filter responses with up to 32 resonant peaks or notches, and sculpt their distribution, width, and behavior with intuitive controls. Everything is designed to be both immediate and deep, so you can quickly dial in a sound and push it into more experimental territory. Switch to MIDI mode and Peaks reveals its true potential. The filter becomes an instrument you can play, with frequency controlled directly from incoming notes. With up to eight simultaneous filter voices, you can turn rhythms into harmonies, add movement to static sounds, or create evolving textures that follow your performance. A comprehensive modulation system brings constant motion and life to your sound. 3 LFOs, envelopes, macros, and MIDI sources can be freely assigned to parameters, making it easy to build subtle movement or complex, reactive behaviors. BLEASS Peaks also includes a flexible effects section with five processing slots, allowing you to shape and enhance your sound further with distortion, dynamics, delay, and filtering. Every stage can be modulated, opening the door to deeply expressive and evolving effects. Despite its depth, Peaks remains fast, fluid, and intuitive to use. Its responsive interface, real-time visualization, and performance-ready controls make it equally at home in the studio or on stage. From precise tonal shaping to bold, animated transformations, BLEASS Peaks gives you a new way to hear and perform your sound. Optimized for iOS, it delivers high performance, low CPU usage, and a smooth, touch-friendly workflow built for modern music production. BLEASS Peaks Plugin is also available for Desktop.
