SOPHISTICATED FILTER MODULATION
UltraChopper is a high quality modulation effect which offers manipulation of volume, filter cutoff and resonance with a 10x16 step sequencer. It's simple and it enables you to make exciting modulations e.g. spherical sounds or rhythms. This would hardly be possible using the sequencer‘s automation curves.
The effect provides you with two lowpass, two highpass and one bandpass filter. The values of the sequencer can be interpolated variably. The effect also delivers a shuffle/swing functionality, a speed mulipicator and a global filter and resonance manipulation.
Try the freely available demo version and listen to the example sounds.

Step sequencer
You can set the volume, filter and resonance values using the 16th step sequencer. The multiplicator knob allows you to multiply the speed. The shuffle/swing knob makes 16th rhythm grooves possible, which is essential e.g. for the making of house music.
Filter algorithms
There are two different filter algorithms available, each in the variations lowpass, highpass and bandpass. The filter values can be interpolated using the knob FSsmooth to get smooth transitions.
