Thread Starter |  Cytomic "The Drop" Resonant Filter Plugin
The next product from Cytomic is called "The Drop" and it's an analog modelled resonant filter plugin. I've finally got some audio examples of the first few filter types which you can check out here: https://cytomic.com/cytomic-announce...-filter-plugin |

The drum examples sound incredible, Andy, but none of the saw demos will play.

I don't know what else to say but <3. If this thing is just remotely as good as your compressor, I will buy it as soon as available.

It may have come to my attention that you were responsible for the filters in Nerve.
I thank you dearly for great sounding extremely usable filters. I dig them a lot and the resonance is amazing on those... fantastic for bringing up harmonics!
So you can imagine that I'm stoked to use this one...
Again thank you and Steve for bringing and implementing such an easy great sounding way to filtering drums.

If it sounds anywhere near an MS-20 filter I'll buy it  | |

Well there's a lot of time between now and the release date for everyone to draw up some comparissons from the demos. Been looking forward to the next release and to his word Andy's come up with a trump card of a creative edge...Magic!  Love the sound of these in MP3s, cant wait to hear the mojo  once released. Guessing it will have similar oversampling as TheGlue.

cool!
Sounds very good. One comment I have is I can hear stepping in the resonance during the filter sweeps on that second demo... is that because it was controlled via midi maybe?

Yes the cutoff is being controlled via midi and I've not implemented my dynamic smoothing algorithm yet, it's just got a dumb fixed frequency low pass filter on the incoming midi which is why you can hear some rounded steps. The cutoff is being updated at audio rate, which you can clearly hear on the envelope follower example, and I'll post some FM examples soon as well.

sounds very good !
are there 2 independent controls for low pass and hi pass cutoff, MS 20 style ?

I'm not... because it's already a long wait... don't need more teasers.
For anyone curious on Andy's filter work check out FXpansion's DCAM and Xfer Nerve..
And if those filters are "_" than imagine a dedicated one....

thanks | Yes there are independent controls for cutoff and resonance for the lowpass and highpass and there is also a link button with will take the current offset and keep it fixed so you can move the lowpass cutoff and the highpass will also move.

Well. I don't need any more filter plugins. That said, given the quality of TheGlue, I just might need this one... =)

A couple of new audio examples are up on the web page showing off a very difficult case, screaming self oscillation with huge amounts of FM without any oversampling at all - check it out! https://cytomic.com/cytomic-announce...-filter-plugin | |

Great job really sounds natural... similar to the real deal in the way it is indistinguishable.
So the sound is there but what about control? It would be nice if it had a interface similar to Steve's LFO tool ...
Or at least midi cc inputs so I could route the LFO Tool graph to it...
Anyway good work!
