Avi Bortnick has released FilterSketch, available for $4.99.
FilterSketch is a filter and faux-synth effect built around an XY pad. Assign any parameter to the pad and move several settings at once with a single gesture.
FilterSketch turns a filter, fuzz, pitch modulation, ring modulator and noise processor into a live, playable instrument. Shape your sound in real time using a responsive X/Y performance surface designed for intuitive touch expression. At its core are four filter types (LowPass, HighPass, BandPass and Notch) with six envelope types and four resonance settings. The range for each parameter and the XY axes direction can be set independently, allowing you to easily morph between sounds. It’s like a hardware performance controller connected to a svnth-like filter. It works as an Audio Unit plugin or standalone – iOS or Mac.
