Re: [motm] Free 48 Band Filter Bank to Process .wav Files

2008-08-01 by Jeff Laity

Here is a VST/AU plug-in modeled after the Moog FFB. It doesn't have  
48 bands, but the plug-in might be easier to use in your studios:

You can also automate bands in your DAW. It was co-created by MOTM  
user Adam Schabtach.
