When to use it

Bismuth is a musical, pitched resonator rather than a general-purpose filter, so it is good for turning drums, vocals or noise into tonal material. For plain filtering, Lunacy's free Filter plugin is the simpler tool.

Best for: adding tonal shimmer or chord-like colour to samples and pads.
Genres: electronic, bass music and sound design.
