Devious Machines Infiltrator 2 vs FabFilter Total Bundle

Devious Machines Infiltrator 2 is a paid multi-effects audio plug-in for macOS and Windows. It can stack, sequence, and modulate up to ten effects at once from a library of 54 effects, including filters, distortion, pitch shifting, FM, delay, reverb, and spectral transformation. A 32-step sequencer activates effects separately or together at different speeds. Each effect has two tempo-synchronized multi-segment envelopes with random patterns, Euclidean rhythms, swing, and pitch snapping. Eight assignable macros can be automated in a DAW. Curves can follow the DAW timeline or act as triggered envelopes, with audio input, MIDI, and MIDI notes available as triggers. The plug-in includes more than 1,500 presets and supports VST 2, VST 3, AudioUnit, and AAX formats. Its license is perpetual, with oversampling, real-time correction, formant control, MIDI pitch control, and a 72-semitone pitch-shift range. Pricing is listed as From $99.99 and 134.99 one-time, with a 14-day trial.
