Two tempo-synced step LFOs modulate independent left/right filters to inject rhythmic movement and color into percussion and looped material.

Filtering

Description

2 STEP routes two stepped LFOs into a pair of responsive filter circuits, each handling its own side of the stereo field. You get tempo-locked modulation that sculpts repeating grooves, plus hands-on controls for motion, depth, and character. It's compact but powerful—dial in choppy gating, shifting resonance, or subtle movement without complex routing.

I've found it especially useful on hats, snares, and short loops when I want to add bounce or stereo interest. Key highlights include:

Independent step-sequence modulators for left and right channels
Tempo synchronization to keep effects locked to your session
Controls for shaping filter response and modulation intensity

Whether you're tweaking a drum loop, creating stuttered textures, or beefing up percussion, 2 STEP gives quick, musical results. It runs as a VST2 on Windows, so drop it onto a track and start sculpting rhythmic filter patterns right away.
