A Smorgasbord of Useful Applications
Whether you need an incredible sound design tool or a Swiss Army knife for fixing various mix problems, SpecOps from Unfiltered Audio has you covered. Sweetwater sound designers have been praising SpecOps’ ability to mangle sounds beyond recognition for brand-new effects and breathe new life into existing sounds that need a little oomph. Our studio engineers also appreciate how subtle SpecOps can be, with the ability to function essentially as a multiband compressor for sculpting precise frequencies in a mix. Choose up to three effects (out of 36) and apply them to different frequency bands simultaneously. Then, use the Spectral Compander to apply the effects at whatever strength you’d like across each frequency bin individually or all at once. Intuitive controls and incredible versatility add up to one awesome plug-in.

Begin with the Analysis Engine
SpecOps begins by splitting your audio into thousands of “bins” for real-time processing. While you can apply processing to every bin simultaneously, where SpecOps shines is its ability to add up to three spectral effects simultaneously, each affecting a different, independently adjustable frequency band. Then, the Spectral Compander lets you compress or expand these processed bins however you’d like, with simple controls that make it effortless to create gnarly effects in no time.
Customize the Modulation System
SpecOps’ Modulation System features a robust 16-step sequencer, four different LFOs, sample and hold noise, and more. The ability to map any of these modulators to any control knob or fader makes for an excellent custom workflow, and there’s even support for ROLI Blocks Lightpad.
