What it does

A ten-band filterbank effect with fixed cutoff points, driven by three interchangeable control pages: faders, elastic and cycles. Bands are moved by hand, flicked with a friction setting so they keep travelling, drawn as curves, or swept by a syncable LFO with adjustable slope. A noise generator and an input saturation stage sit outside the filter section, so both survive a filter bypass.

In the demo

Jade starts on the internal noise source, then feeds it a drone from No Input Mixer and a lo-fi piano, showing how flicking the bands turns a static tone into moving texture. She raises the band floors so sweeps do not drop to silence, and runs the four bank types back to back.

Worth knowing

It is an effect, so it needs an input or its own noise to do anything, and the whole design assumes a touchscreen. Anyone after a clean corrective EQ is in the wrong app.
