Rob Papen has released a new audio plugin which combines 4 filters with the XY field you may recognize from some of Rob’s other plugins. FilterField is designed to help users create new, exciting filter effects.
The plugin comes with 32 analog-modeled filters, including all-pass, comb, EQ, and phaser options, as well as a range of more specialized affairs like LP/HP/BP feedback and LP/HP/BP frequency modulated filters, frequency shift, and amplitude and ring modulation.
And as if all that was not enough to be getting on with, a dedicated DISTORTION module is also included, with 21 distortion types and an option for pre- or post-filter operation on offer. The top-tier filters can all be combined in the XY Vector FILTER MODE, moving from one filter type to another, with an option to simultaneously Morph a range of parameters. Parallel and serial modes for the FILTER 1, FILTER 2, FILTER 3, and FILTER 4 modules are also available, while the XY movement can be recorded and played back in various tempo-based ways to positively put FilterField in a league of its own.
An audio follower can respond to the input or one of the many other options available for creating, for example, side-chain control, with each filter module having its own FOLLOWER amount control. Likewise, LFO control is also available individually to each filter module, as well as two free LFOs with various waveforms and tempo-sync options. Above and beyond that, the modulation matrix has eight slots for additional modulation by FilterField itself or MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) sources.
Available in VST/VST3, AU and AAX plugin formats for Windows and macOS, FilterField is on sale at the Rob Papen store and from Plugin Boutique for the intro price of $39 USD until May 31st, 2026 (regular $49 USD). The plugin is also included in the newly released eXplorer-11 bundle.
