Filtre by Cloudy Samples
A Free Filter Plugin Built for Motion, Groove and Modern Sound Design Filtre by Cloudy Samples is a free filter and modulation plugin designed for producers who want more than a simple low-pass sweep. In modern production, filtering is no longer just a technical move used to remove frequencies.

Filtre understands that role perfectly. It combines a multi-mode filter section with a flexible modulation engine, giving producers a fast way to sculpt…
Relica 2 by Hivetune

For producers who want atmosphere, transitions, vocal effects or unusual layers, it…
