About
With FilterShaper Core 3, you'll experience all the richness, warmth and intricacy of a high-quality analogue filter. Create amazing modulations and wild patterns in seconds with a drawable LFO and dynamic envelope follower, all in multiband.
Running inside Cableguys' ShaperBox 3 effects plugin, use FilterShaper Core on its own or with other Shapers — they all work in exactly the same way, stacking up to create elaborate, multilayered effects that'll make your productions stand out.
Just like a high-quality analogue filter, FilterShaper Core always sounds great no matter how hard or fast you modulate it – all thanks to Cableguys zero-delay feedback (ZDF) filters with resonance compensation and internal saturation.
From classic low-pass to notch, peaking and beyond, from clean and clear to fat, warm and driven. For juicy basslines, sweeping synths, modulated percussion, explosive FX, and more.
