Key Features
Arturia M12-Filter is a fully-featured plug-in emulation of the Oberheim Matrix-12's multi-mode filter. Brought to life through Arturia's proprietary True Analog Emulation (TAE) technology, M12-Filter delivers the same depth, complexity and character as the hardware original with a range of clever additions to bring it up to date with modern musicians and producers. Not only does M12-Filter emulate the performance of the legendary filter, but it also provides two of them. Augmented for this plug-in, Arturia has doubled the filters to run in parallel or series for steep stereo processing.
Coming with 15 filter modes per filter, resonance, panning and frequency cut-off controls, M12-Filter offers over 225 potential filter arrangements with four different routing options. Combining perfectly analog-modelled filter tones with enhanced digital addendums including a detailed matrix modulation, programmable modulation envelopes and random oscillator parameters, M12-Filter is perfectly capable of performing smooth sweeps, rhythmic motion or unhinged glitching: this plug-in can handle it all.
Product Ref: 254446
A fully-featured recreation of the multi-mode filter from the Matrix-12, M12-Filter is an expanded plug-in enhanced with a range of clever updates for improved sonic potential. Set to become your go-to for creative filter control, M12-Filter combines state-of-the-art True Analog Emulation (TAE) technologies with analog-modelled filters, programmable modulation envelopes, near-endless modulation via the onboard matrix, augmented Random and Modulation Oscillator parameters all in a sleek and intuitive interface. Capable of everything from smooth frequency sweeps to rhythmically enhanced glitched filtering, the M12-Filter can do it all!
For mixing engineers looking for a creative spark that helps them get out of a creative rut, M12-Filter could be the solution you need to spark your imagination. It happens to the best of engineers, musicians or producers, you come to introduce a new section of a song or look to create space in a mix and you go to conventional tools such as a fade-in or EQ, but these don't always work. When these moments strike, look towards M12-Filter to kickstart your imagination.
Liven up your static and monotonous drum loops with an aggressive four-pole band filter or notch filter to add an acid-like attack to each kick and snare drum, helping the transients sit better within a mix and adding a unique sonic character with each beat. With M12-Filter you could even create a complex patch to modulate the looping envelope rate, producing a ratchet-like effect and apply this to a drum&bass loop for a tightened low-end response and more random, gated-like groove.
Not simply limited to transient-heavy instruments such as drums, M12-Filter performs just as well on instruments such as electric guitar. Taking advantage of the automation capabilities in your DAW, you can sync your filtering to the tempo of your project and create auto-wah-like sounds using the Envelope control to trigger the peaks, modulating the filter cut-off and rate simultaneously.
Of course, it would be remiss not to mention synthesizers given the origin of the filter. Pairing perfectly with any kind of synth sound, M-12 Filter performs at its best on classic '80s-inspired sawtooth leads. Transform leads into rhythmic pads by combining Envelope following with modulated frequency cut-off and you will create a nice gated rhythmic effect to your synths.
If you need a kickstart, Arturia has included 40 onboard presets from world-class sound designers to help you navigate your way through M12-Filter and discover what it can do for you in your music.
Not satisfied with providing a like-for-like clone of the original hardware, Arturia has augmented the M12-Filter with a smart range of contemporary features to enhance your creative potential. Practically an instrument in its own right, our reborn Filter M12 is packed with intuitive yet powerful features. With it, you’ll be able to transform your source material into totally new sounds; create pulsing patterns; perform dramatic sweeps; or simply hone your tone using one of its many filter modes. Its CPU-friendly, low latency architecture also makes it the perfect, animatable filter to use in your live sets and performances.
Firmly cementing its place in music technology history, the M12-Filter goes above and beyond what was possible on the hardware original. Featuring two discrete analog filters, each identical to the other, with all 15 original modes, frequency cut-off, resonance, pan and output controls, there is a huge range of tonal possibilities to be had.
Employing complex routing possibilities, the Arturia M12-Filter includes four modes: A, B, series and parallel. By combining both filters simultaneously in multiple ways, you can create unique filter slopes which wouldn't be possible with conventional filters.
Three Envelope Generators are available as modulation sources. This section lets you create anything from slowly evolving sonic mutations to full-on step sequences. Tempo-sync'd or free-form, this combination of LFO, step-sequencer and envelope is capable of any behaviour depending on how you program them. Up to 16 points can be programmed with adjustable time, slopes and levels for every point.
Once you've found the filter sound and envelope shaping that you want, you can link your envelopes and modulation oscillators to over 40 routings in the 5 x 8 matrix. All discretely configurable, this virtual patch-bay is where you can explore your creativity with near unrestricted freedom.
Using proprietary modelling algorithms, the Arturia M12-Filter can recreate the iconic hardware down to the component parts to create unrivalled realism and immersion. Unmatched in analog emulation, M12-Filter is powered by TAE and Phi technologies. TAE offers component-level modelling to accurately present the characteristics and behaviour of the hardware, whilst Phi's state-of-the-art physical modelling brings the acoustic properties into the virtual world for hyper-realism. The result is truly a next-level sound that is indistinguishable from the original to add to your productions.
