What MicroFX Filter does
The plugin is built around an XY grid that controls two key parameters at once: X sets the filter cutoff and Y sets the resonance. The grid can be used for a single-click sound sculpt or for fine tuning of the animation, with up to 15 nodes that define a modulation path.
Two filter stages can run in parallel, in series, left/right or mid/side. The developer counts 144 possible routing combinations across these modes, and five filter types are offered: low pass, high pass, comb, notch and bandpass. Drive, Dirt, Envelope Follow and Offset add further shaping of the signal.
The plugin ships with 49 presets in two categories, static and animated. Modulation rate, playback direction and the chain order can be customized. Heavyocity lists the instrument for Windows and macOS, with Logic Pro, Pro Tools, Cubase and Bitwig named among the hosts.
Key features
- XY grid control. The XY grid maps cutoff to X and resonance to Y, so one gesture moves both parameters together. Up to 15 nodes can be placed to draw a path that the filter follows over time.
- Two filter stages with routing. Two stages can be arranged in parallel, in series, left/right or mid/side, giving 144 possible routing combinations according to the developer.
- Five filter types. Low pass, high pass, comb, notch and bandpass are available for each stage.
- Drive, Dirt and Offset. Drive, Dirt, Envelope Follow and Offset add character and let the sound be pushed past its normal boundaries.
- Modulation settings. Modulation rate, playback direction and the order of the chain can be changed to shape how the path runs.
- Preset library. 49 presets are split into static and animated categories, a starting point for sound designers working with the XY grid.
Compatibility
The plugin runs on Windows 10 and on macOS 12 or later. The developer names Logic Pro, Pro Tools, Cubase and Bitwig as hosts.
