A tempo-locked dual-modulator resonant filter that injects rhythmic motion and unpredictable character into drums, synths, and mixes.
Description
If you want filters that breathe with your track, Atom is a compact but powerful tool to try. It combines a selection of resonant filter modes with selectable roll-off intensities, letting you dial anything from subtle tone shaping to razor-sharp cutoffs. Two independent modulators drive the filter movement, and they can be synced to your project tempo for tight, musical effects.
What makes Atom fun in the studio is how it balances control and spontaneity. Each modulator offers multiple waveform choices and covers ultra-fast rates to very slow, bar-based cycles. A built-in randomizer tweaks the level of each modulation pass so patterns evolve instead of repeating, while a smoothing control softens transitions for organic-sounding motion. Use it to add pumping grooves to drums, breathing textures to pads, or quirky motion to single instruments and full mixes.
- Five resonant filter modes for varied tonal coloration
- Three slope/roll-off options up to 48 dB/oct for aggressive filtering
- Two tempo-locked modulators with multiple wave shapes and wide rate range
- Cycle-level randomization for ever-changing movement
- Smoothing control to tame harsh steps
- Available as AU on macOS
