Waves MetaFilter

MetaFilter transforms filtering into a creativity machine—with 6 different modes, envelope following, LFO and sequencer control, drive and bit-crushing options, delay, sidechain, and MIDI learn. MetaFilter makes synths, drums, guitars, bass, and samples of all types breathe, move, and excite.

Have MetaFilter add subtle animation, or go for sequenced resonance and wild LFO textures. Shovel some dirt on the sound, or keep it clean—from DJ to sound design, MetaFilter does it all.

Transform Motion into Emotion

MetaFilter moves, changes, responds, and reacts in a way that’s like having a creative partner. The filter movement can be almost subliminal—or steal center stage with dramatic, novel effects.

Analog Soul, Digital Precision

MetaFilter captures the soul of analog filtering—highpass, lowpass, bandpass, notch, and comb responses. Choose 12 dB/octave (“obie”) or 24 db/octave (“mini”) slopes, and offset the left and right channels.

Modulation Mania

This filter’s fun factor is all about modulation. Vary the filter cutoff, resonance, and/or delay with the multimode LFO, input envelope, sidechain input, and/or sequencer—with positive and/or inverted modulation.

Move with the Groove

The sequencer and delay time sync to tempo with 10 different rhythmic values (and 12 for the LFO), so that MetaFilter always moves with the groove. And, the Delay can offset the right channel by 150 or 200%.

Definitive Dirt

Sometimes you don’t want clean. Add saturation with the Drive control, switch the delay to an analog character, or use bitcrushing to add the crud of digital decadence—from gentle grit to complete contamination.

Total Control with MIDI Learn

MIDI learn makes it easy to turn MetaFilter into a real-time instrument, or the world’s coolest wah pedal. Play filter frequencies from a MIDI keyboard, and assign any parameters to DJ controllers or control surfaces.
