Have the minifilter v as they gave it away for free not too long ago. Can’t comment on quality as I’m no expert on filters. Interested in the “preamps” though. Curious if they’re preamps like the slate plugins or simply EQs with a saturation stage.

I'll be trialling these soon, as Arturia has a decent price for all 6 if you own their other stuff. I don't like the idea of working with a VST filter (and it not visible in rack), but the price difference between buying only the preamps and getting the filters is nominal.

Yeah, that's why I just snagged all of these for $99 - the loyalty price is too good. And the Gearslutz guys seem to be loving these. I also don't have a Trident emulation. Very exciting.

Here's a pad from the Blackhole RE played through several M12 filter factory presets. The first 7 seconds is the original patch. Headphones or good speakers recommended.

Thanks for sharing. I ended up pulling the trigger last night as well due to the loyalty price as well. ;-) Looking forward to using these in my tracks.

I bought the 3 filter bundle. I think they are great, you can get really creative with it, well worth the 49 euros price. Work great in Reason 9.5.2. wind 7.

Can someone tell if the 3 amp bundle lives to the expectation of the great "pro" analog hardware they are supposed to emulate?
Or, even if they are not exacly the same thing (of course they aren't), if they are worth the price (69 euros the bundle, introduction price) and can get really usefull in a positive way in instruments/ voices, sub mixes, etc? Compared with UAD, Softube plug ins?

Peace :)

Thanks so much for posting this. It's a more convincing showcase of the filter than the ones on Arturia's website.

Here's the SEM filter in action. A Hive pad played through the SEM's factory presets.

Might as well do the Mini-Filter.

I tried to feature its "raw-ness". This thing is INTENSE.

Finally tried these out last night. Again, I'm more interested in them for the pre-amps and their colour/saturation. But that Mini filter is superb. Not sure I'd get much use out of the other two, but they're both nice enough and interesting alternatives to reaching for Synchronous.

There are also two really great bonus features to the pre-amps: the automatic gain adjust, which is fast and accurate and ensures that the only differences you're hearing is in tone/colour/etc. and not in volume; and the bypass button right on board in the plug-in, so I don't have to use the bypass button in Reason (which takes a few more clicks and can close the VST panel).

At $100 for all six, this is a decent bundle.
