Under the stewardship of new owners Baby Audio Inc, Denise Audio has launched the second in a series of major revamps to its core plugin lineup.

A reimagining of cult favorite The Sweeper, Motion Filter continues the fruitful partnership between Baby Audio and Denise in the next evolution of both brands’ innovative plugin design.

Filter sweeps are a staple of modern musical language. Entire careers have been made on their ability to add rising action to stale sounds. Motion Filter is a state-of-the-art digital filter with two configurable motion modes to liven up your sounds. Use it to create movement that responds to your track’s dynamics, or build sweeping tonal shifts that unfold over time. Do it all with its high-performance modern filter that keeps its shape and response intact, even at extreme settings.

Motion Filter is flexible enough to behave like your favorite traditional filter with a twist, or transform any sonic material into an ear-catching mix element. It can even act as a more surgical alternative to your usual sidechain tools. From subtle shifts to dramatic sweeps, Motion Filter gives flat samples, repeating loops and other rigid sounds a new lease on life with a creative take on one of the most fundamental tools in sound design.

Motion Filter features

  • High-performance multi-mode filter: State-of-the-art digital filter capable of slopes up to 96 dB/octave. Choose between low-pass, high-pass, bandpass and notch filter types with dynamic resonance for an additional dimension of motion.
  • Dual motion modes: Select between Sweeper and LFO motion types. Sweeper mode reacts to the incoming audio signal and LFO is controlled by a configurable waveform. Engage the external sidechain to make Motion Filter react to other tracks in your session while in Sweeper mode.
  • Configurable motion that can sync to host: Set rate, range and envelope characteristics with comprehensive controls to dial in the perfect compliment to any sound. Sync rate in LFO mode or decay in Sweeper mode to the host for rhythmic effects. Choose from 5 different wave shapes in LFO mode or adjust attack, release and detection strength in Sweeper mode.

Available for Windows and Mac in VST/VST3, AU and AAX plugin formats, Motion Filter is on sale for the intro price of $39 USD until May 31st, 2024 (regular $69 USD).

The offer is available at Plugin Boutique and from the Baby Audio store. Owners of The Sweeper can upgrade to Motion Filter for $25 USD.
