    There are two versions, the electric and the gas, but I've found it to be too heavy handed and that the gas pumps on almost on almost every source.

    Sweep
    Infinity Filter

    [​IMG]

    Sweep is an effect that filters.
    Utilizing the same mathematics that sound designers use to create shepherd tones / risset filters, Sweep uses a bunch of filters to make your sound feel like it’s rising (or falling) endlessly.

    In Sweep’s case, the left and right channels can be split and controlled separately for a more complex, stereo aware sweeping effect.

    Sweep is available as a free to download VST / AU plugin for both Windows and Mac platforms.

    Features
    • Curve-based band amplitude control
    • Optimized peak / notch filter array DSP (up to 16 bands per channel)
    • Distribution function, allowing for linear distribution of bands
    • Fractal noise-based frequency randomization system
    • Vectorized, resizable interface
