INTRODUCTION

Congratulations! You just scored Storch Filter—an incredible new plugin created by multi-platinum Grammy Award-nominated American record producer Scott Storch and Slate Digital. This unique filtering plugin gives you the power to add creative effects such as reverb, chorus, saturation, stereo widening, and a phaser to your standard high-pass, low-pass, and band-pass filters and packs it all into a simple, intuitive interface.
We started by deconstructing the types of processing chains Scott uses in his workflow in tandem with a filter. We then built an interface comprising five effects and an LFO that work together to produce thousands of sonic combinations without needing multiple plugins or complex automation points.

Each of the five effects buttons activates a meticulously crafted processing chain that sounds excellent on its own, but it’s when you start blending them and experimenting with the filter types, the magic begins. You also get an FX Boost slider, which lets you add even more juice to your enabled FX and dial in your desired level. The Auto button allows you to add different LFO shapes, rates, and depths to mangle and add movement to your filtered sounds. You also get three perfectly tuned filters to shape your sound to perfection. All this is wrapped in a simple, easy-to-use interface designed to get you creating awesome filtered sounds, transitions, and much more in seconds without the need to reach for multiple FX processors. We can’t wait to hear what you create with Storch Filter!
