Nota Auto Filter

Nota Auto Filter is a filter with built-in motion: an envelope opens it as the sound gets louder (auto-wah, envelope filter), an LFO sweeps it in time (wobble, gates, slow motion).

Layout: the Shape column on the left (Cutoff and Reso faders, with the modulated value marked), a centre panel with three tabs — each one window where you see the cutoff move — a right panel and a status line.

Control What it does
Type LP, BP, HP or Notch
Morph Blends continuously between the types
Slope 12 or 24 dB
Freq · Reso Cutoff and resonance — or drag the response

An envelope follower: Amount (up or down), Attack, Release and Hold (a time, or infinite). It listens to the track itself or to a key — another track picked as the device’s sidechain source. The window draws the cutoff over time.

Amount, Rate (Free in Hz or synced to the tempo), wave — Sine, Tri, Saw, Sqr, S&H — with Morph, start offset, a stereo phase offset between the channels, and retrigger. The window draws two bars of it.

→ Freq / → Reso — what the modulation moves: the cutoff, the resonance, or both. Mod smooth slews it, Gain trims, Dry/Wet blends.
