As always with our plugins we are now putting them on FileSilo as it affords us more security so only readers can enjoy the free plugin. Please do not share the details with non readers. Rift Filter Lite CM and the sound packs are free to all readers but not to be redistributed or sold separately.
As we demonstrated in step 9, you can automate any of the parameters on Rift Filter Lite; indeed this is one of the best ways to get really creative with the filter. It demands you play with it in real time but make sure you record everything you do to capture the best moments in automation lanes so you can play them back any time.
Minimal Audio are new US-based software developers who have already released some great looking and sounding plugins like Rift, which they describe as ‘a new type of distortion’. Rift Filter Lite CM is a version of their $49 next generation morphing filter which we have for free this issue. Minimal also make sound packs and we’re delighted to be able to offer all readers five of these as well. Full instructions to get the packs and the plugin are opposite, plus a run-through of the features in Rift Filter Lite CM.
Rift Filter Lite CM might look pretty basic but it’s actually a very powerful and dramatic filter plugin. It has no less than 24 types of filter in four categories (Basic, Morph, Peaking and Harmonic) with a Morph control that allows you to gradually (or quickly) move between filter shapes, with a screen showing the filter types move as you dial in the action.
You get everything from fairly standard low and hi-pass filters to more complex shapes. Highlights include some great vowel-like filters that allow you to create speech-like ‘wow’ effects which are especially creative when combined with a bit of DAW automation.
Over the next few pages we’ll give you full instructions on how to download Rift Filter Lite CM for free and the Minimal Audio sound packs. We’ll then run through some of the main features of the plugin, including its rather great Pitch Snap feature, where the cutoff frequency of the filter can be snapped to MIDI.
