Haze is a single-knob resonant filter built for instant movement and color. Turn the Cutoff control and the sound opens up or closes down, while a switchable Resonance peak adds bite and character — analog-voiced, never sterile.
VST3, AU, and Standalone on macOS (Apple Silicon + Intel) and Windows.
Haze is tuned to feel like a hardware filter: one large Cutoff control, a resonance peak that sharpens toward self-oscillation, and a simple front panel that stays out of the way. Internal saturation and a parallel harmonic path give the filter a warm, slightly driven tone instead of a clean textbook sweep, so sweeps and stabs feel alive.
- One-knob cutoff sweep: a single exponential Cutoff control spans the full range, from a deep rumble to fully open and bright.
- Switchable resonance: Off / Low / Mid / High emphasis at the cutoff, from gentle focus up to a screaming, near-self-oscillating peak.
- Analog-voiced tone: soft clipping and a parallel harmonic stage add musical weight and color as the filter works — warmth, not a clinical sweep.
- Zipper-free modulation: internal coefficient smoothing keeps fast Cutoff and Resonance moves clean and click-free.
- Click-free A/B bypass: compare filtered and dry signal smoothly without pops.
- Live signal lamp: the front-panel LED reacts to output level and turns hot near clipping.
| Control | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Cutoff | Sweeps the filter from closed (dark) to fully open (bright). |
| Resonance | Peak emphasis at the cutoff: Off, Low, Mid, High. |
| On / Off | Click-free A/B bypass. |
| Signal | Output activity and near-clip indication. |
