G-Sonique released a new version of the Bi-Polar Analog Multifilter BFX24 Plugin, and the Windows-exclusive release is available for free download. However, it is only available for download via the Telegram app.
In an unusual move, the freebie is only available via accessing the G-Sonique Telegram channel, which requires downloading the Telegram app.
G-Sonique promises freebies monthly via Telegram, so it may pay off further down the line if you’re in it for the long haul.
The developer released the updated version of the BFX24 on the company’s 17th anniversary.
The main update for the new BFX24 is the inclusion of VST3 for the plugin, in addition to the existing VST format.
The Bi-Polar Analog Multifilter BFX24 is an analog-style effect/processor plugin that emulates four analog filters: Low Pass, Band Pass, High Pass, and Band Reject.
G-Sonique says the BFX24 “is excellent for effecting drums, percussion, guitars, synthesizers, live instruments – its use is practically unlimited.”
The developer then boasts a positively exhaustive list of possible genre applications, ranging from pop, rock, EDM, and beyond.
G-Sonique notes that the bread and butter of the BFX24 can be found in electronic music genres, citing techno, house, psytrance, and downtempo, among others.
Beyond the filter selector, the main parameters are the Cutoff and Resonance knobs. At the same time, the control scheme is rounded out by a Bi-polar envelope follower, Attack, Release, Input, Output, and Bypass.
Depending on the Attack and Release settings, the Bi-Polar envelope follower modulates the Cutoff value according to the input signal.
G-Sonique explains that the advantage of this setup is that “unlike conventional envelope followers, it can modulate in both directions!”
The developer reflected on the release, saying, “It seems unbelievable to us, but 17 years have passed since we released our first product.
“This time passed incredibly quickly. Although this job is very demanding in an oversaturated market full of piracy, and sometimes we have to work 12 hours a day, we still love it.”
G-Sonique, which is a three-person team, said that the update is a thank you to the community for their support over the years.
The developer doesn’t specifically address the operating system compatibility in the announcement, but as previous BFX24 releases have been Windows only, it seems like that’s also the case for the new release.
