Arturia M12-Filter Plug-In

Arturia 1090-59 Overview

The electronic download of M12-Filter License from Arturia is software that models Tom Oberheim's Matrix-12 multimode analog polyphonic synthesizer. His brainchild instrument is now considered a classic, and the filter became synonymous with the sound of the '80s. The M12-Filter can be used by producers, sound engineers, and artists, on Mac and Windows computers, to capture a taste of that harmonically rich, classic tone in your DAW and music programs using the AU, VST2, VST3, NKS, and AAX Native platforms.

The plug-in features two discrete analog filters, each identical to the original with cutoff and resonance control, as well as all 15 original modes. Filter effect panning and level control is also added for each filter. The M12-Filter offers 4 filter routing options: A, B, series, and parallel, giving you huge control over its sound. In addition, there is a dry/wet knob, as well as a MatrixBrute-style master cutoff that affects both filters at once.

Combining intuitive, natural-sounding modeled analog filter tone control with programmable modulation envelopes, a detailed mod matrix, and bonus random and mod osc parameters, M12-Filter is a nice go-to choice for creative frequency control. Create anything from smooth sweeps to rhythmic motion, all the way to full-blown, randomized glitch meltdowns, with the M12-Filter plug-in.
