Recommendations for filter plugins with many creative options.

[Headlands]

I've been using FabFilter Volcano and Filter Freak for forever it seems like, and am interested in seeing what's new out there these days that is very advanced and creative both feature-set-wise, GUI-wise, and sonically. I just want to change things up and see what options there are at this time. Money is not an object for it.

Thanks!

Sorry, forgot to mention that I use Filter Freak already also. I'll check out Tantra, thanks!

Tantra I highly recommend. Super cool!

If you ever go the UAD route their Moog Filter is probably my favorite but you need a UA card or I/O to use it.

You can get really crazy results with Cableguys' FilterShaper (Shaperbox). I don't see it get it mentioned enough.

I use MWobbler and I’ve done a few videos on how to use it. There are a number of things it can do, so don’t be fooled and think its only good for dubstep wobbles. I don’t know if it’s exactly what you want, but feel free to check it out.

Audio Damage Filtersation 1 & 2 you'll thank me. I prefer 1. And while you're there Panstation is killer. For more extreme, sugar bytes WOW2. So fun

Really like what this guy is doing.

He also just released a delay that is worth a look at!

AudioThing has this formant one "with a twist".

Kilohearts'v got this "multi band based" modular effect that could become pretty addictive...

If you'r on Mac, Sinevibes offers many rhythmic based FXs.

Another vote from me for Tantra. It's great for getting rhythmic effects quickly.

If you own Zebra, I'd also try the included effect version, Zebrafy. It lets you pipe an input signal through all of Zebra's filters, effects, and modulators. You can route midi into it and control parameters just as you can in the base synth, including things like keyboard scaling or velocity.

totally agree - I own lots of outboard filters (Ebb und Flut, Mutator, Urei Little Dipper, Orban 674A + 622b, MF101) and The Drop is my favourite ITB filter

For really serious situations i still prefer Hardware solutions (mostly Sherman Filterbank II or the Filter of the Waldorf Pulse II)

In the box, i prefer Reaktor based solutions, specially the Monark filter.
Zebrify also gives great results.
Further, Logic's new phat and step fx have great filter models, as has Tantra.
Mostly in combination with distortion i also like WOW2 (specially the vowel filters).
Finally, Waldorf's Northpole also has a quite characterful sound.
In short: too much choice...

Would anyone happen to know how to filter out MCU Transport MIDI note data?

I have an issue where I need to have multiple MIDI Input Controllers active on a number of Cubase10 MIDI tracks, except for 2 specific MCU controllers. When I use the MCU transport controls, they are triggering random notes on my various VST instruments.
I know its possible to select one specific MIDI controller for a MIDI track, but I need to select 2 MIDI controllers to be ignored except to allow navigation around Cubase.
I've been looking for plugins that can filter out this data but so far no luck.

Any ideas?
