Critic Reviews

HY-Plugins HY-Filter4: filtering, multi-effects and rich modulation in a plugin + free version

synthanatomy.com

HY-Filter4 is a robust multi-effects plugin that elevates the original filter concept into a semi-modular powerhouse. With 38 built-in effects and an extensive modulation engine, it opens a playground for sound designers. The free version is commendable, providing a taste of its capabilities without the full feature set. However, while the updates are impressive, some users may find the sheer complexity overwhelming, particularly those looking for a straightforward filtering solution. Overall, this plugin is a worthy investment for those eager to expand their sonic horizons, but it may not be the best fit for every musician.

HY-Plugins HY-Filter4: Modular FX with heaps of modulation - gearnews.com

gearnews.com

HY-Plugins HY-Filter4 offers a smorgasbord of modulation options and a comprehensive effects chain, making it a versatile tool for sound design. Its semi-modular filter with multiple modes and the ability to create custom effect chains with 38 effects is impressive. However, while the built-in grid sequencer enhances its capabilities, some users may find the learning curve steep. The free version is a great introduction, but it lacks the full-featured experience that likely will leave many wanting to upgrade. Overall, it’s a powerful plugin for those ready to dive deep into audio manipulation.
