WOW is a super-sounding state-of-the-art filter plug-in featuring a mad modulation system, super juicy filters and vowel sounds that were before unheard of in an effect. WOW's Modulation System is versatile and intuitive. The modulation signals can be mixed individually for each parameter - but they can also modulate each other! So for example, the LFO-rate can be modulated by the Envelope Follower, while the Step-sequencer modulates the Envelope Follower's Gain. So besides a new way to get exactly the sounds you want, you will as easily be able to see surprising effects and something new every time you use WOW.

When Sugar Bytes developed the Filter Algorithm, they paid special attention on a linear amplitude response over the whole frequency spectrum, aiming for big filter sounds and at the same time retaining clear and precise vowel sounds. Brand-new Band Crusher and LF Crusher filters put the audio signal to the same sample rate frequency as the cutoff frequency. As a result, you will enjoy crispy-clean electrifying sounds that sing and saw. The Band Reject filter eliminates a wide band and gives you thick and juicy filter sounds without ever losing high or low end.

On top of every classical filter type, WOW exclusively features the Vowel Mode: so every sound and every possible filter output will be able to talk! Using the Overdrive you enlarge the harmonic spectrum, give the filter some yummy candy and create real aggressive sounds, while at the same time keeping analogue warmth and high end.

WOW Standalone 1.2 - 64-bit Update
WOW version 1.2 supports all 64-bit systems. In addition to that, WOW now comes as a standalone application that turns your computer into a filter effect. Use it anywhere you want without the need of a VST/AU/RTAS compatible sequencer. The standalone also provides some useful features like the audio player and recorder. With the new "Check for Updates" function all Sugar Bytes Products are up to date with just one click.
