Critic Reviews

Arturia's Filter M12 shines as a powerful and versatile plugin, drawing from the iconic Oberheim Matrix-12, offering expanded capabilities that surpass the original hardware. Its dual analog filters, robust modulation options, and dynamic sound-shaping abilities make it a must-have for electronic music producers. However, the review notes that users less passionate about filters might find one or two filters sufficient, potentially leading to a sense of redundancy in the bundle. Still, for those who appreciate intricate filter patterns and sound design, this is an enticing addition to any studio setup.
