One of my favorite plugins from the AIR CreativeFX bundle is the FilterGate. In this video I show using it on a steady 16th note hihat pattern to instantly add dynamics.

TL;DR

  • Trick using the filtergate plugin from the AIR Creative Effects bundle on hihats.
  • The same hihat sample is repeated on 16th notes.
  • Using Filtergate built-in patterns you can alter volume and filter cutoff for interesting rhythms in sync with project tempo.
  • Over 30 patterns to audition instantly.

    That’s pretty cool…I spend so much of my time trying to make drum machine hi hats sound more dynamic and “realistic”. This could be a real time saver for me. Thanks for the review!

      I think the same thing can be done with Tantra (see review here), and a lot more. I’ve never thought to use Tantra on a hihat track before. One of those problems you don’t realize you have until it’s solved.
