Sinevibes Cluster v3: The Ultimate Animated Filter Plugin?

What It Is

Sinevibes Cluster v3 is a sequenced multi-filter processor built for creators who crave rhythmic movement and spectral animation, all accessible in a focus-driven, single-screen interface. Cluster v3 transforms drum loops, synth lines, and guitars into evolving, animated textures, allowing every key filter parameter—type, cutoff, resonance, envelope—to be step-programmable. The engine houses nine distinct filter models, with up to four stages in series for anything from smooth sweeps to extreme spectral manipulation.

Hands-on Impressions

After a quick test, all I can say is, this thing is heaps of fun! I’m a sucker for such tools (and also a big fan of the good old Moogerfooger MF-105M Midi Murf, well emulated in the Moogerfooger plugin collection).
Running grooves and guitars through Cluster v3, the resampler lane and envelope engine immediately stand out, delivering measurable rhythmic accents that go beyond predictable filter sweeps. Stereo pan randomization gives real spaciousness, and the RMS limiter keeps wild settings musical. I really look forward to spending more quality time with it!

Sinevibes Cluster v3 – What’s New

This version merges Cluster’s classic approach with Flow’s sequencer tools, adding a scalable interface, robust preset management, and pattern banks that enable intuitive variation. Up to eight patterns and flexible step editing turn typical automation into an extension of composition.

Key Features

Six-track filter sequencer with independent settings for type, slope, cutoff, and resonance.
Nine filter types, including classic models and experimental options, each assignable in up to four stages.
Multi-envelope generator for expressive cutoff modulation, customizable per step.
Up to 32 steps, rhythmically correct swing, polyrhythmic and polymetric options.
Optional RMS limiter and pan randomization for headroom and stereo dynamics.
