The Novation filter plug-in is perhaps the most sought-after effect of the five. Modelled on the filter section of the Supernova II, this powerful effect has an array of features and a unique sound that sets it apart from any other filter on the market. An audio triggered envelope alongside five different filter types, three different octave slopes and a ‘crunchy’ overdrive dial, allow this filter to deliver a wide variety of dynamic filter modulation effects. Of all the filter types, the dual peak filter is now quite rare, but capable of delivering that signature “WOW” sound – a key ingredient for modern dance remixes.
The filter also features a ‘Q-Norm’ dial, a resonance normaliser that reduces the signal level in relation to the resonance level; ideal for mimicking classic filters like those found on Moog and Oberheim synthesizers, or the Roland TB303.
