Series 9000 is a low-pass filter effect based on the steep, sixth-order sound made famous by a late 80s rackmount sampler. For fun, we included a 12-bit quantizer and added a few original features, too. Watch your fingers, this thing cuts away frequencies like a samurai sword! Features: - Completely free, no unlock required! - Four controls: - Cutoff: like the hardware, this filter doesn’t close completely - Drive: subtle to extreme. At 0 dB, you’ll get a fully clean sound - Q: filter resonance - Envelope: envelope follower to cutoff modulation, adaptive release - Output gain - One-click loudness matching - Light or dark color scheme. Series 9000 is an AUv3 effect plug-in. For best experience, load the plug-in on an effects slot in a compatible host. You can also preview the effect in the standalone with our new mini-player.
