Shade

Shade by UVI is a creative filtering environment that goes far beyond standard EQ. It offers 35 filter shapes and 10 modulator types, with drag-and-drop modulation routing that lets you assign one source to many targets or combine multiple sources into one. Envelope followers with sidechain and filter inputs, MSEGs, and triggerable envelopes sync to host, audio, or MIDI, while pitch tracking from MIDI or audio adds expressive movement. Use it for surgical EQ, sweeping filter effects, rhythmic modulation, or evolving sound design. The semi-modular system supports cross-modulation and multichannel operation, and version 1.2 adds new presets and workflow refinements. It suits hobby producers and sound designers working in FL Studio, Ableton, or Logic who want one tool for both everyday EQ tasks and experimental filtering. Whether you’re shaping drums, adding motion to synths, or crafting cinematic textures, Shade delivers deep control without overwhelming your screen.
