Audio Damage Filterstation - Manual (Page 5)

Introduction
Filterstation exists because of a simple premise: everyone needs some good filters. While filters used to be
permanent parts of analog synthesizers, they‘re now used on just about everything in modern music
production: vocals, drums, guitar, cello, whatever. Anything that makes noise can make more interesting
noise if you add a filter. A static filter can gently or radically shape the tone of an instrument, while a filter
modulated by an LFO can create anything from subtle animation to wild, screeching sweeps.
Filterstation satisfies this need by providing two filters in one plug-in, each able to operate in twelve different
modes. A simple but flexible low-frequency oscillator, with optional tempo sync, and an envelope follower set
Filterstation‘s filters in motion. Filterstation‘s clean, direct user interface won‘t get in the way of applying
exciting filter effects to your music.
System Requirements
To use Filterstation, you'll need a Steinberg VST-compatible host application which conforms to the VST 2.4 or
3.0 specifications, and a computer capable of running it. For the Audio Unit version of Filterstation, you‘ll need
an application capable of hosting Audio Unit plug-ins, and an Apple computer with an Intel CPU capable of
running it.
We support the use of Filterstation under Microsoft Windows XP, Vista, or Windows 7; and Apple OS X version
10.5 or newer. All formats of Filterstation are available as both 32- and 64-bit binaries.
Installation
Double-click the Filterstation Installer icon, and follow the instructions. During the installation process the
installer will ask you to enter your registration code. Your registration code uniquely identifies your purchase,
and you will need it if you need to reinstall your plug-in (for example, after upgrading to a new computer).
Keep a copy of the code in a safe location and please don‘t share it with your friends. We‘re delighted if you
like our products so much that you want to share them, but please ask your friends to buy their own copy so
that we can keep making new products.
On OS X, the installer installs the Audio Unit, VST2.4 and VST3 versions of Filterstation by default. If you click
the Customize button you can choose to not install one or more of these formats. There‘s no need to install
formats that you don‘t use, but on the other hand they don‘t take up much space if you do install them. The
OS X versions are combined 32/64-bit binaries.
