A modern reboot of our classic FilterShaper 3 dual filter plugin, FilterShaper XL is designed for deep and complex modulation possibilities. We’ve greatly improved the sound of the analogue-style filter algorithm, brought the LFO drawing up to spec with ShaperBox 3, added a brand new Drive algorithm, designed a new resizable interface, completely rebuilt the preset library browser, added support for AAX, VST3 and Native Apple Silicon – and more.
FilterShaper XL is out now at an intro price of just €49 / $49 instead of €79 / $79.
It’s free for owners of the original FilterShaper 3 plugin – log in to download.

Features
Dual Filter with 20 Types
Explore a sonic palette ranging from classic low-, band- and high-pass, on through to notch and peaking shapes. Choose Warm filters that are fat and driven, inspired by the Sallen-Key filters of a legendary semimodular synthesizer. Need modern precision? Go for the crisp and clear Clean filters instead. And with two separate filter sections in series or parallel, you can combine filter types however you like.
Multistage Drive Control
Distortion brings filters to life – and with a powerful Drive section on each filter stage, switchable pre- or post-filter, that power is in your hands. Warm filters have added Resonance Drive inside the resonance feedback stage, emulating a real analogue filter pushed to the limit, for gritty textures and smoothed resonant peaks.
Best Ever DSP
Just like a high-quality analogue filter, FilterShaper XL always sounds great – even with the hardest, fastest modulation settings. It's all possible due to our best-ever filter DSP, with zero-delay feedback (ZDF) algorithms, resonance compensation, internal saturation, and oversampling of the entire signal path.
60 LFOs, 50 Envelope Followers
Simply click a parameter – Cutoff, Resonance, Volume or Pan – and start editing its main LFO and Envelope Follower. Use LFO 2 to shift your shapes up and down over time. Control the depth of modulation itself with a dedicated Amount LFO. And use the Speed LFO to rhythmically speed up and slow down your patterns.
Easy LFO Editing
The easy LFO waveform editing experience of ShaperBox is fully integrated into FilterShaper XL. Design any shape in a flash with a flexible Pointer tool, Wave Presets, Pens, Smooth control, and more. Draw curves, steps and ramps, bringing new rhythmic life to any sound. It’s easy, fast and fun.
Analogue-like Envelopes
The Envelope Followers share the analogue-like response and pro featureset of ShaperBox, with Adaptive Release, adjustable Threshold, Input Filter, and external Sidechain Input. Get filtering that tightly hugs the dynamic contours of any sound, for kinetic, magnetic effects.
Tons of Presets
No more waiting for inspiration to strike! A slick preset browser makes it easy to find the filtering patterns you need, with clear categorisation and fast search. And with 450 professional presets, you’re only clicks away from amazing filter rhythms, percolating resonance patterns, motion-packed sweeps, and more.
PLUS:
- 4x oversampling for superb sound quality
- Safe resonance mode for stable levels – disable for screaming self-oscillation
- Soft and Hard saturation modes for Resonance Drive
- Anti-click Trigger Smoothing for MIDI triggering
- Resizable Retina interface with large LFO editing areas
- Multiple oscilloscope view modes
