TERRENCE ELAM

"A quick and cool new way to add some movement and color to my tracks on desktop and MPC. I was immediately adding a dynamic texture to a simple piece of music using the Envelope Followers. Multiband Filterbank is perfect for adding harmonics and color to lifeless sounds! The GUI is simple, sleek, intuitive, and it took me no time to understand how it works."

KORESMA

"This AIR Multiband Filterbank plugin is dope! I really liked how dialed in and different I could make sounds come to life. Works great on the drum buss but also for creating rhythmic patterns with my tracks and sounds. The Mid Band sweep and the Envelope Followers are exactly what I've been looking for as a producer."

Producer Songwriter

Emancipator, Richard Houghten, Sky Vinyl Records, "Wasted My Love" for Axel Mansoor

BROOKS ALEXANDER

"This Filterbank plugin is awesome, I currently don't have anything like it. Having control over the parameters of each band is cool! As a techno producer - I can see this plugin being super useful. The presets are amazing - did not expect to get so many cool sounding FX from a multiband filter plugin."

JOSH JACOBSON

"Multiband Filterbank is an imaginative take on one of the most essential tools for electronic music production! The knobs are intuitive enough that I always had some idea what was going on. The Pre Drive sounds really musical and pleasant and I love the Triple Peak preset for bringing out some immediate crispiness from drum breaks."
