Frequency range & resonance
Choose how far
the filter travels.
Bring Min and Max close together for a focused pulse, or open the range for a sweep that changes the whole sound. Swap their positions to reverse the direction.
Add resonance to bring the moving cutoff forward, from a smooth change in tone to a more pronounced wah-like sound.
Set the range. Let the pattern move through it.
LFO shape & timing
Give the sweep
its own groove.
Move smoothly between the limits, rise and fall at an even rate, or use a repeating ramp with a quick reset. Sync locks the cycle to a note division in your track.
SWEEP SHAPETwo cycles
A rounded, flowing sweep.
Sine slows at the ends of the range and moves faster through the middle, giving auto-wah and longer sweeps a smooth rise and fall.
Open up, then start again.
Saw + rises through the range and resets quickly. Use it for an opening pattern that repeats with the groove, then soften the reset with LFO Smooth if it feels too sharp.
Close down with each cycle.
Saw − falls through the range before jumping back to the top. It gives your sound a closing motion, with LFO Smooth available to make the reset more gradual.
Keep the motion even.
Triangle travels up and down at a steady rate. Its symmetrical cycle gives your music a clear, regular pattern.
Four filter types
Hear a different side
of the same sound.
High-pass
Let the low end fall away and return, changing the weight with each cycle.
Band-pass
Concentrate the sweep around a narrower band for a more vocal, wah-like quality.
Notch
Move a cut through the spectrum for a phaser-like shift in tone.
Stereo phase
Let left and right
take different turns.
Offset the left and right LFOs so they reach different points in the same cycle. The filter can move across the stereo field while keeping its rate and shape.
Keep the channels together for a focused pulse, then spread the motion when the arrangement needs more space.
Follow the track,
or let the pattern drift.
Use Sync for musical note divisions, or free-running timing for movement that drifts against the beat. Mix, A/B and your own presets keep comparisons close by.

There’s a rhythm

Put Mod Filter after PlasmaVerb to give a long tail a repeating pulse, or after Stereo Distortion to sweep through the new harmonics. Change the order and hear how differently the effects react.
