Metalizer

Steinberg

Where to get itIncluded with Cubase. It is part of that DAW, not a separate download.steinberg.net

Metalizer is a modulation effect that feeds audio through a variable frequency filter with tempo-syncable or freely modulated sweeping and feedback control. It produces metallic, filter-swept tones by combining a resonant filter with adjustable feedback and modulation speed. The effect is distinctive for its ability to create sharp, pronounced metallic character through precise control of filter sharpness and feedback frequency.
