Emberex Raw
One-Knob DJ Filter Sweep
"The classic DJ build/drop filter sweep — resonant low-pass with rising resonance and drive, level-matched with no volume jump."
WHAT IT DOES
One knob. One move. Sweep the floor out from under the crowd and slam it back for the drop — no menus, no automation lanes, no volume juggling. Emberex Raw is the free, one-knob taste of the full Emberex, built to be grabbed mid-set and pushed.
Emberex Raw sweeps your track down through a resonant low-pass filter — the same filter engine from the full Emberex. As you turn it, the cutoff drops, resonance rises into a scream, and a touch of drive adds grit: the classic DJ build/drop sweep. Resonance-energy compensation keeps the level matched, so the floor opens up with no volume jump.
THE SWEEP KNOB
SWEEP is a single macro that drives the whole filter at once. At low settings the signal is clean and open. Push it and the cutoff sweeps down, resonance climbs, and drive bites — perfect for builds, drops, transitions, and live performance. It's front-loaded, so the first quarter is a gentle high-cut and the top is strong but musical. Resonance-energy compensation and a small output trim keep the level matched at every position, so your A/B comparison is honest.
UNDER THE HOOD
One knob, hidden parameters — SWEEP is the only host-automatable parameter; the engine's filter, resonance, drive, slope, mix and output controls are each wrapped as non-automatable so they never clutter your automation list, yet still save and restore with the plugin's state.
Resonant state-variable filter — a TPT SVF maps the macro to a low-pass at a fixed 24 dB/oct slope, running two cascaded stages for the classic build/drop shape.
Oversampled drive — a 2x half-band polyphase oversampler runs unconditionally around the tanh drive stage with sample-accurate gain ramping, so pushing the sweep adds grit without zipper noise or aliasing.
Level held by physics, not auto-gain — resonance-energy compensation (1/√(1+Q²)) keeps the resonant peak from blowing up the level, so the floor opens up without a volume jump.
Constant latency and safety — latency is reported once from the always-on oversampler and never changes mid-stream; a DC blocker, an output soft clipper, a runaway-resonance panic mute, and a NaN/Inf sweep keep every knob position clean and safe.

Yes. Emberex Raw is a Universal Binary that runs natively on Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3/M4) and Intel Macs.
Emberex Raw ships as AU, VST3, and a Standalone app for macOS, built as a Universal Binary for Apple Silicon and Intel. It runs in any AU or VST3 host, or on its own.
Yes — the single SWEEP macro is the only host-automatable parameter, which makes it perfect for build/drop automation. The underlying filter, resonance, and drive controls are hidden from your host's automation list, so all you ever automate is the one knob.
