See all Musikmesse 2012 news items »

FXpansion has released Etch, a filtering effect that also features distortion and compression stages.

FXpansion presents Etch, a filtering effect based on DCAM circuit-modelled technology.

Etch’s dual filters let you switch between 4 models for tone-shaping, with a comb filter type.

Additional distortion and compressor stages are provided, and FXpansion’s TransMod modulation system is designed to let you animate Etch’s circuits over time. Use inter-modulating LFOs, envelopes and more to drive the filter cutoffs, distortion level, compression amount or other parameters.
