Motion Filter makes your mixes move. A re-imagination of our cult plugin The Sweeper, this gorgeous state-of-the-art filter can modulate in multiple dimensions to animate any sound. You’ll never reach for your static filter plugins again.

Sweep dull mixes to the side

From subtle motion to epic sweeps, dynamic filters play an essential role in modern tracks. Motion Filter is the fastest way to create this effect, offering an obstacle free workflow and pristine sound quality.

The plugin has two main modes: 'Sweeper' gives you filter motion that follows your track's dynamics, powered by an envelope follower. 'LFO' lets you apply pre-programmed motion patterns and sync them with your DAW.

At subtle settings, Motion Filter can replace a traditional static filter, adding just a touch of organic movement. At extreme settings, it can transform any sonic material into an ear-catching mix element. Use it in sidechain mode to control the filter with external sources like a kick drum.

For the filter fanatics

Ultra-clean filter

• Motion Filter's state-of-the-art DSP offers a smoother sound than most filter plugins. Thanks to its Nyquist-corrected architecture, Motion Filter produces a surgical response across the entire frequency spectrum, even at radical settings.

Obstacle free workflow

• If we can save you 10 seconds of configuration time by eliminating routing obstacles and automation lanes, then we've done our job. Like all Denise Audio plugins, Motion Filter is designed with the highest ergonomic standards in mind, giving you everything you need right at your fingertips.

Envelope Follower or LFO

Sweeper - Move with the dynamics of your track

• Sweeper Mode gives you the original Denise Sweeper plugin’s envelope-controlled filter to use your track’s dynamics as a modulation source for the filter movement. Active sounds like loops and percussion instantly get into motion as their peaks and valleys affect the action of the filter.

LFO - Cinematic sweeps on repeat

• The new LFO mode lets you craft patterns of recurring sweeps based on wave shapes. Dial in smooth undulating sine sweeps that unfold over multiple bars or create jerky fits and starts with sharp square or saw waves. Get your music pumping by syncing the LFO rate to the host BPM.

Master the art of motion

Start and end points

• Set the beginning and end frequencies of the filter motion.

Dynamic resonance

• Toggle on for a dynamic resonance response with more movement.

Sidechaining

• Engage to let the dynamics of another source in your mix (like a kick drum) trigger the filter motion.

Filter flip

• Reverse the direction of the filter motion.

Your sweeps, your way

Filter Modes:

• Choose from Low-Pass, High-Pass, Band-Pass and Notch filter modes for any flavor of frequency subtraction.

Slopes up to 96 db/octave

• Go gently or get surgical with selectable filter slopes ranging from 12 to 96 dB/octave.

It's time to create a movement

Do you like the exciting sound of moving the cutoff control on your synths? Motion Filter lets you apply this musical effect anywhere in your mix, without entering any automation lanes. Get subtle movement, radical sweeps, or anything in between.

If your mixes are feeling a bit lifeless, try replacing your static filters with Motion Filter instead. A little goes a long way and you'll soon be making more engaging and alive tracks. Get the free trial and experience Motion Filter for yourself.
