AD043 Filterstation2

Audio Damage

Where to get itAvailable from Audio Damageaudiodamage.com

AD043 Filterstation2 is a dual-filter plugin featuring two independently controlled filters with twelve operating modes each, driven by an integrated LFO and envelope follower with stereo sidechain support. It combines classic filter types ranging from 2-pole and 4-pole low-pass/high-pass modes to specialized filters emulating the Korg MS-20, Moog filter bank, TB-303, and a phase-shifter-capable notch filter, alongside distortion and modulation tools for sound mangling. The plugin excels at both subtle tonal shaping and aggressive frequency manipulation across series, parallel, and stereo routing configurations.

Key Features

01Twelve filter types per filter: 2P LP, 2P HP, 3P LP, 4P LP, 4P HP, NOTCH, MS20 LP, MS20 HP, 914 BP, 4P BP, FILTERPOD, VCA, and NONE
02Three routing modes: Series, Parallel, and Stereo
03Shared LFO with SINE, TRIANGLE, RAMP UP, RAMP DOWN, SQUARE, 33% PULSE, 25% PULSE, SPIKE, and PATTERN 1-4 shapes
04LFO sync to host tempo with rate range 1/32 to 2/1 (including dotted and triplet values)
05Envelope follower with independent Attack and Decay controls and stereo sidechain input
06Sound-mangling FSU section with Saturation, Feedback, Hack, and FM controls
07Graphical filter frequency and resonance editing with draggable blue ovals
08Independent LFO AMOUNT and ENVELOPE AMOUNT per filter (-1.00 to +1.00 range)

Things to Try

  • 01Set the 3P LP filter to emulate TB-303 squelchy sounds by increasing resonance and modulating frequency with a positive LFO AMOUNT
  • 02Use series routing with two band-pass filters tuned to different frequencies, then switch to parallel routing to hear an interesting double-peak effect
  • 03Apply slow-gear effects to guitar by setting VCA mode on one filter with a longer envelope follower attack time
  • 04Create sidechain filtering on a synthesizer track by routing a kick drum to Filterstation's SC inputs, setting ATTACK and DECAY to zero initially, then adjusting ENVELOPE AMOUNT to control the filter response
