MComb is a free advanced comb filter effect in VST plugin from MeldaProduction.
Comb filtering is a process in which two signals with very different frequencies are mixed. The frequencies that make up the original input signal are multiplied with those of the second signal, and those differences are then summed to produce multiple versions of the output at different frequency bands.
MComb Filter Plugin
This plugin goes beyond that by providing parallel processing modes which allow you to have several comb filters in one instance and allows for unique effects such as a hall filter and room simulator.”.
Common uses for the MComb filter are controlling an equalizer with a simple amount of controls and not needing to use automation. This plugin goes beyond that by providing parallel processing modes which allow you to have several comb filters in one instance and allows for unique effects such as a hall filter and room simulator.
MComb has three different parallel processing modes which are described below:
Parallel Processing Mode 1 – This mode is designed for frequency dependent filtering where the output frequency is evenly distributed between all the independent comb filters. The placement of the individual filters can be set in relation to each other without affecting the final output. It works well for equalizers with more than 1 band. The amount of bands can even be increased to 4 or more by increasing the input sample rate of the plugin. This mode is best for use on sources that are not transient based.
Parallel Processing Mode 2 – This mode is designed for transient based signal processing where each filter works on a set frequency range and produces an output that sums all these frequencies to produce an output frequency. The individual filter ranges can overlap in this mode allowing you to create frequency dependent filtering with a transient sound.
Parallel Processing Mode 3 – This mode is designed for multi-spectral processing which allows the use of different parallel filters per channel and controls which allow you to control the level, pan and DC offset of several channels at once. The amount of filters and channels can be increased by increasing the input sample rate of the plugin. This mode is best for use on sources that are transient based.
The three modes described above are controlled by a unique set of controls which are explained below:
X-Fade – The X-Fade control will fade between the parallel processing modes 1,2 and 3. Setting the control at 0% will result in parallel processing mode 1, setting it to 50% will result in parallel processing mode 2 and setting it to 100% will result in paralell processing mode 3.
Filter Toggle – This control toggles through two filter modes: Equalizer Mode 1 or 2.
Equalizer Mode 1 – This mode is for frequency dependent filtering where the output frequency is evenly distributed between all the independent comb filters. The placement of the individual filters can be set in relation to each other without affecting the final output. It works well for equalizers with more than 1 band.
Equalizer Mode 2 – This mode is designed for transient based signal processing where each filter works on a set frequency range and produces an output that sums all these frequencies to produce an output frequency. The individual filter ranges can overlap in this mode allowing you to create frequency dependent filtering with a transient sound.
Pan Control – This control adjusts the pan of each filter individually, gain between 0 and +100%.
MComb Filter VST plugin is considered one the best sounding comb filter available.
You’ll be amazed to see how the plugin’s comb filters can give you really unique sounds like a hall filter, room simulator and up-sampling of your sound.
