you ppl are absurd, i can’t believe this even got a mention on create digital. any newcommer to synthmaker or synthedit with a just a basic understanding of filters could make this plugin within 3 minutes.

Yeah, it’s obvious that whoever made this is about as good at counting as they are at making software.

Sorry, i just had to.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but aren’t there two knobs on that single knob filter?

@ Andrew:

go to kvraudio.com. There’s hundreds of free mac filters that will do 100x times what this can. This can’t be translated to mac. But there’s tonnes of free filters out there that look better, sound better, and have more features.

Please…. oh pretty please will someone translate for us Mac peeps. 127 Autofilter instances sounds all too familiar….

@all:

My intention was to make something that used less cpu and was less clunky than the rack with 127 filters. Contrary to what @gbsr said, the former filter rack used around 10% of my cpu while idle and up to 25% while active, so it was impossible for me to use on my machine at the time (Pentium M 1.5 notebook).

I never said it was an ideal solution or that better alternatives don’t exist. In fact I would really like to know some C++ to make a proper plugin with a (more) kickass sound, but for now I’m satisfied with this (and I don’t have time to learn C++ properly right now).

I really think Sythedit’s filters sound awesome anyway (they self-oscillate!), and the thing is open-source after all. Want to make it better? Download it and modify it! I’m curious to see what other people can add to this (LFO? Better gfx? Who knows?).

By the way, I tried to make a simpler rack on Live before doing it with Synthedit, but it didn’t sound right because Live doesn’t have a way to apply curves (exponential, parabole etc.) to the controllers. The linear curve makes it very difficult to make a natural-sounding single knob filter.

There were a couple of free Single Knob Filters released on this KvR page

Including my own version, which is hand coded and uses the host GUI
