Auto Filter is one of Live’s tried and tested effects, and is (mostly) based on emulation of hardware filters. Not only shaping the frequency spectrum, a filter can also bring a repetitive sound to life, transforming it into something with dynamics and movement.
It’s always been a favourite device of ours, and recently it received an update in Live 12.2 - probably the biggest Auto Filter update so far. This includes new filter types and circuits, enhancements to the LFO and sidechaining, and new options for managing the output.
