![]() ![]() ![]() On to the crucial modulation architecture, and The Drop has it all going on. The two filters are fixed in their respective high- and low-pass responses, but can be combined into band-pass and notch configurations using the Shift and routing controls, and 12 and 24dB/octave slopes are selectable for each. Cytomic The DropĪnother dual filter with overdrive, The Drop features ten core filter algorithms loosely modeling the circuits of various classic synths, including the Roland Juno-6, Korg MS20, EDP Wasp, and ARP Odyssey. ![]() It all adds up to a mind-bogglingly versatile setup with which to animate the two characterful filters at the heart of the plugin, and a dream come true for the sound designer who likes to really get into the details. The envelopes provide adjustment of Attack, Hold and Decay times, while Cableguys’ famous free-drawing waveform editor allows total customization of each and every LFO. The magic, however, lies in the envelope followers and dual LFOs hardwired to both filters’ cutoff, resonance, volume, and pan controls, as well as master volume and pan, and the depths of the LFOs themselves. Each filter is independently panned and leveled, and there’s an extensive selection of Clean and Sallen-Key filter types to choose from, the latter with overdrive for toughening distortion effects. Despite having been largely superseded by the much newer FilterShaper Core 2, running in their ShaperBox multi-effects plugin, Cableguys’ original dual filter is still an absurdly powerful and uniquely creative proposition. ![]()
