On the right side is a latency display, which I applaud Kilohearts for since I know how easy it is to get carried away, shaping effects and forgetting that even today there is a limit to processing power at some point. It shows very well-formulated tooltips when you hover over a knob or button. On the bottom, you can find a little dark gray display bar. It’s not a big loss since most parameters are much more likely to be LFOcontrolled than manually. But according to KiloHearts this might be added in the future. So far the is no “midi-learn” option to map the nobs to a controller. The ability to turn every module and band on and off with just one click came in very handy while I played with this new kit of modulation magic. But once you’ve become familiar with how this plug-in works, it just takes one glance to see what is going on, and where you need to twist to make the changes you want.

When loading one of the presets, however, it can seem a little full and overwhelming atįirst. Switches, Knobs, and Buttons are well placed, easy to find, and intuitively understandable. There is a graphic representation where it is desirable, like with the LFO or the meters. I could see everything I needed to see and nothing more. I personally like how “un-cluttered” it looked when first opened, with no modules loaded. The Interface of Multipass plugin, at first glance, looks very clean and minimalistic. In short: there is virtually no limit to how crazy and versatile you can get, and it’s all arranged for you in one manageable box of tricks. Which you can also fill with effects to your liking. On level four– if that’s not enough yet– there is also a Pre-FX and Post- FX lane.On level three, you can now map LFO, Envelope, and Midi Information to almost all knobs and parameters within this plug-in.You can add one or several effects to each of the five bands, according to your needs. They can be individually processed by modular effect units. On level two, the input gets split into five flexible bands.On level one, you find a modulation matrix with two LFO’s, two Envelopes, and a bunch of midi-mapping possibilities.For each lane you can add effects and then the bands are mixed together again.“. Kilohearts describes it like this: “The core concept is a band splitter with up to 5 bands. Well, let me assure you, it IS cool! And if you love shaping your own sounds and/or are into sound design then you are going to love this. When I saw the announcement for Multipass, I read: “a new modular band splitter plug-in effect which allows combining effect modules for virtually unlimited possibilities” and thought: whaaaat? It sounds cool for sure, but a little hard to imagine exactly what it looks like.
