Smaolab has released Akira‑Filter, a free lowpass filter plugin inspired by a classic 4‑letter synth brand’s legendary ladder filter. It’s designed for everything from silky sweeps to gritty, characterful tone‑shaping.
Shape Your Sound
Akira‑Filter gives you hands‑on control for smooth automation and expressive filter movement. Choose between clean or dirty drive, dial in resonance flavor, and set the cutoff anywhere from 300 Hz to 12 kHz. A mix knob and input/output controls make it easy to blend and gain‑stage without leaving the plugin.
