SMAOLAB has released Akira Filter, a free low-pass filter plugin inspired by the legendary MS-20 filter from KORG. If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably tested dozens (if not close to a hundred 😳) of filter plugins over the years.

Akira Filter definitely scratches that itch, and while it might not reinvent the wheel in…

I have different snare libraries for genres like indie dance or dark disco, and another set for techno or…
