Antares Filter is designed to give composers, producers, remixers and engineers everything they need to harmonically shape their tracks with surgical precision or animate them with an almost limitless variety of tempo-synced rhythmic effects At the core of Filter are four true stereo multimode filters that provide all the warmth and smoothness one would expect from classic analog filters. With low-pass, highpass, bandpass and notch modes, variable cutoff slope, four independent full-featured delay sections, and a variety of filter routing options, Filter provides the power to create dynamic filter effects that range from extremely subtle to extremely, well, extreme. To bring tracks to life, Filter provides powerful, but easy-to-use modulation capabilities. Virtually all key parameters can be modulated. Control sources include four multi-shape LFOs, four Envelope Generators with delay and hold times, two Rhythm Generators, an Envelope Follower and up to 28 MIDI controllers. Filter also includes features specifically targeted at rhythmic, groove-based music composition. Chief among them are two drum-machine style Rhythm Generators for the the creation of loop-based grooves or complex polyrhythms. As importantly, every one of Filter's time-based parameters Ñ from tempos, to delay times to envelope rates Ñ can be locked to Filter's internal master tempo or to the host's MIDI clock.
