XHighpass
TL;DW: XHighpass is a distorted digital EQ, inspired by retro sampler DSP.
Continuing the weird filter pursuits while I work on the M1 compiled VSTs! This is another distorted filter, except that if you distort the insides of a biquad highpass it makes NASTY zapping noises.
So… yay?
Those who like that sort of thing might like this. It’s pretty good at making really mean aggressive highpasses, except that you can’t clean up the results by dropping the frequency down into the bass and subs: it will just clip easier, which will cause more horrible zap noises. So I guess, only try this if you like that sort of thing. They can’t all be zingers, though this one is quite literally a zapper :)
All this is brought to you by my Patreon, which is apparently now about earning me money to buy REALLY vintage samplers such as the SP1200 and such things. I’ll set up some kind of thermometer showing how much progress that’s making once I’m done recompiling all the Mac VSTs: I understand they’re not working in some contexts and I can’t help that, but I ought to be able to get them all working for at least some things. I don’t have them all done but if you go to the link below you can have the M1-native VSTs for Acceleration, Acceleration2, ADClip7, ADT, Air, APIcolypse, AQuickVoiceClip, AtmosphereBuss, AtmosphereChannel, Aura, AutoPan, Average, AverMatrix, BassAmp, BassDrive, BassKit, Baxandall, Beam, Biquad, Biquad2, BiquadDouble, BiquadOneHalf, BiquadTriple, Bite, BitGlitter, BitShiftGain, BlockParty, BrassRider, BrightAmbience, BrightAmbience2, BuildATPDF, BussColors4, ButterComp, ButterComp2, C5RawBuss, C5RawChannel, Calibre, Capacitor, Capacitor2, Channel4, Channel5, Channel6, Channel7, Channel8, Channel9, Chorus, ChorusEnsemble, ChromeOxide, Cider, ClipOnly, Coils, Coils2, Cojones, Compresaturator, Console4Buss, Console4Channel, Console5Buss, Console5Channel, Console5DarkCh, Console6Buss, Console6Channel, Console7Buss, Console7Cascade, Console7Channel, CrunchyGrooveWear, Crystal, CStrip, curve, Dark, DarkNoise, DCVoltage, DeBess, Deckwrecka, DeEss, DeHiss, Density, Density2, DeRez, DeRez2, Desk, Desk4, DigitalBlack, Distance, Distance2, Distortion, Ditherbox, DitherFloat, DitherMeDiskers, DitherMeTimbers, DoublePaul, Drive, DrumSlam, DubCenter, DubSub, DustBunny, Dyno, EdIsDim, Elation, ElectroHat, Energy, Ensemble, EQ, EveryTrim, Facet, FathomFive, Floor, Focus, Fracture, FromTape, Galactic, Gatelope, GlitchShifter, Golem, Gringer, GrooveWear, GuitarConditioner, HardVacuum, Hermepass, HermeTrim, HighGlossDither, HighImpact, Highpass, Highpass2, Holt, and Hombre.
That’s a bit more than half. I will try to do the rest while also continuing the new filters (and eventually, proper Emu-tone plugins they will lead to, when I have time to turn on the new sampler.) The AU M1 builds have everything including the new XHighpass: I’ve not gotten to X yet on the M1 VSTs (there’s a retro Mac VST though)

Thanks Chris! You’re a force! I bow out of respect, admiration and inspiration from your work.
