Universal Audio posits a question to themselves: "If UA were able to conceive a product with Moog, what would it be?" It can be assumed that Universal Audio had to be selective, because Moog limited them to one product under the caveat that "there can be only one." That "one" is the Universal Audio Moog Multimode Filter which appears at 125th AES 2008.

This special processing software delivers the first voltage control filter, or VCF, emulation that Universal Audio considers "truly analog-sounding." Of course, they're a bit biased, but we'll give them the benefit of the doubt.

This VCF emulation is basically made for mixing, performing, creating or, with some imaginative elasticity, destroying. The Moog Multimode Filter that Universal Audio's software recreates is an all-digital tabletop filter set which unites some of Bob Moog's best designs with a handful of features from his last Voyager instrument.

Fast Features:

• Stunningly accurate UAD recreation of the historical Moog Four-Pole filter sound
• Sophisticated Lowpass, Highpass and Bandpass filtering with self oscillation, saturation and zero artifacts
• Several classic and modern Moog instrument features combined into one simple control set
• Six waveshapes, and tempo synchronization for LFOs
• Mono and Stereo processing, with special features like Spacing and Offset for stereo effects
• Includes low DSP “SE” version of Moog Multimode Filter
