The Antares filter is more than just another EQ plugin. It's a powerful tweaking tool that cuts hard and deep into the fabric of your audio. This will make more sense when you understand exactly what the Antares Filter does so I try to explain this in no-nonsense terms, so you can tell if you think you will benefit from it.
Antares Filter Plug-In VST/RTAS (Macintosh and Windows)
Antares's new Filter plug-in gives you everything you need to shape your tracks with surgical precision or animate them with an almost limitless variety of tempo-synced rhythmic effects.
FXPansion VST to AU Plug-In Wrapper (Macintosh and Windows)
The VST to AudioUnit Adapter for Mac OS X is a highly-integrated plug-in wrapper that allows users of AudioUnit-compatible applications such as Emagic's Logic Audio 6.x and MOTU's Digital Performer 4.x to integrate VST plug-ins and instruments seamlessly in to their working environment.
First off, the Antares Filter is comprised of four stereo multi mode filters. What does multi-mode mean? It means that for each filter you can select different modes and they are 1. LowPass (the traditional synthesizer filter with resonance) 2. Hi Pass (lets the highs through as it cuts away the lows) 3. Bandpass (lets you select a variable bandwidth to pass through) 4. Notch modes with resonance. As any hard core filter head would want, you can select any of the above modes to be 2, 4, 6 ,or 8 pole (2 pole is gentle and 8 pole is extreme). Ok by now the experienced users are yawning with a big "so what". Here's what. The filters are automatable with a mouse.
See the graphic window showing the filters below. You can grab the selected filter (it's red) at the crosshairs and drag with the mouse. Imagine 4 passes through your soft mixer. Yep, you can have all 4 filters dancing around on the screen and you can listen-as-you-tweak in real time. Of course you can make precise settings with the knobs if you want. Alright, now we are moving. If this were all it could do it would still be worth the price of admission. But yes, there is more.
Perhaps the coolest is the delay functions, which, you bet, can follow MIDI timing clocks to stay in sync with your tempo. This is not just a timing offset of 8th, 16th and 32nd notes--its a full out delay with feedback. It's wild and wicked if you want it to be. Add some LFOs or envelopes to totally sweeten the outcome.
