Product Description
Discover the Arturia M12 Analog Polysynth Filter Plug - In, a game - changing plugin that outshines the legendary analog polysynth's filter. Engineered for unmatched depth, character, and complexity, this modern and powerful plugin precisely recreates the multi - mode filter of Oberheim’s iconic Matrix - 12. With exciting updates and an easy - to - use interface, it's one of the most versatile sound - shaping tools today.
The Arturia M12 - Filter features a beautifully modeled analog filter tone control, programmable modulation envelopes, a detailed modulation matrix, and extra random and modulation oscillator (mod osc) parameters. It's the perfect choice for creative frequency control in music production. Whether you want smooth filter sweeps, rhythmic movement, or wild, randomized glitch effects, the M12 - Filter will enhance your DAW experience.
Rooted in the 1984 legacy of the synthesizer by audio electronics legend Tom Oberheim, the M12 - Filter uses cutting - edge TAE analog modeling technology to replicate the Matrix - 12's signature sound. It offers at least 15 filter modes, including low pass, high pass, band pass, notch, and phase shift, providing great power and flexibility for sound designers and musicians.
### Key Features
- Virtually recreates the Matrix 12 multimode filter.
- Allows simultaneous use of two Matrix 12 filters in one plugin instance.
- Each filter instance has 15 distinct filter modes.
- Individual controls for cutoff frequency, resonance, pan, and output volume per instance.
- A master cutoff control for both instances.
- Four audio routing configurations.
- Global dry/wet and output filter controls.
- Random values generator can sync with the DAW's clock.
- Three advanced multi - segment envelopes that can loop or be triggered by audio.
- Envelopes can be used as LFOs, step sequencers, or traditional envelopes with predefined presets.
- Modulation oscillator with five waveforms for parameter frequency modulation.
- Modulation matrix with envelope, random generator, and modulation oscillator as sources and eight assignable destination slots with 22 reachable parameters.
- Comes with 40 presets by top sound designers.
- Utilizes state - of - the - art TAE analog modeling technology.

### Package Contents
- Arturia M12 Analog Polysynth Filter Plug - In
Using the Arturia M12 Analog Polysynth Filter Plug - In is easy. First, make sure your computer meets the specified system requirements. Install the plugin using the ASC tool, which will also help you activate and update it.
Once installed, open your DAW and load the plugin. You can start by choosing one of the 40 presets created by top sound designers. If you want to customize, each filter instance has 15 distinct filter modes. Use the individual controls for cutoff frequency, resonance, pan, and output volume to shape your sound.
The master cutoff control lets you adjust both filter instances at once. You can also play around with the four audio routing configurations to get different effects. The random values generator can add some unpredictable elements to your sound, and you can sync it with your DAW's clock.
For modulation, the modulation oscillator offers five waveforms, and the modulation matrix gives you plenty of options to assign modulation sources to different parameters. The envelopes can be used in different ways, like LFOs or step sequencers.
When it comes to maintenance, keep your computer's operating system and DAW up - to - date. Use the ASC tool to regularly update the plugin to ensure it runs smoothly and takes advantage of any new features. And always make sure your computer has enough free hard disk space and RAM as specified in the requirements.
