Filtatron Overview
What is Filtatron? Filtatron is a real-time audio filter and effects engine that allows users to use sound from various sources such as line/microphone input, sampler, and built-in oscillator. It also allows users to import any song on their iDevice into the Sampler and run a sound through a virtual version of the famous Moog filter with filter modulation, delay, and overdrive to create their own musical statement. The app also features multi-touch X-Y pads for highly tweakable performance control for live use.
Features
- Real-time audio filter and effects engine
- Sound sources: line/microphone input, sampler, and built-in oscillator
- Import any song on your iDevice into the Sampler
- Virtual version of the famous Moog filter with filter modulation, delay, and overdrive
- Multi-touch X-Y pads for highly tweakable performance control for live use
- Switch Pad to "Pitch Lock" mode to play chromatic scales
- High-resolution, alias-free DSP oscillator with sawtooth and square waveforms
- FX modules: Amp provides warm, smooth overdrive with feedback control. Delay can be modulated by its own LFO (with rate and depth controls) and delay time is smoothly interpolated for analog-style delay time tweaks
- LFO with five waveforms: sine, ramp, sawtooth, square, sample & hold, with crossfade and morph between adjacent LFO shapes
- Envelope follower that uses the volume envelope of sound inputs to sweep the filter, with controls for amount and speed
- Loaded with edgy presets to kick-start your sound
- Record and playback all audio processed in stereo, 16bit, 44.1kHz resolution

Still love it
Yes like others I got this way back when. Yes it’s still an awesome tool and has a lot of ability to make otherworldly sounds from my silly little iPhone. I do wish I could plug in a midi keyboard to control the loops like Animoog, but the real use here is of course with the x-y pads.

This is such a unique, creative, and dynamic musical tool, I think it may be fair to call it its own instrument. Some of my favorite manipulated sample seshes came from this app, it’s a dream for sound designers, loopers, or anyone who wants an interesting and powerful musical device on their phone.

I still use this app after buying it 8 years ago. Still my fave. Easy to use and like all of Moogs apps-it just works.
