Capabilities 3
- Dual Multimode Filterdual-multimode-filter
- 578
- Ring Modulatorring-modulator
- Ring modulation achieved by phase-inverting Filter B and feeding an audio signal into XFADE CV with filters in DRY mode and XFADE at noon.578
- Voltage-Controlled Oscillatorvco
- Both filters self-oscillate at maximum Q, producing pitched sine waves tracking 1V/oct inputs; usable as dual sine wave oscillators.578
Jacks 14 — 11 in / 3 out
| Name | Signal | Voltage | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Inputs (11) | |||
| 1V/OCT A | cv | — | Dedicated 1V/OCT CV input for Filter A cutoff pitch tracking. Normalled to Filter B's 1V/OCT input when Filter B's jack is unplugged.578 |
| 1V/OCT B | cv | — | Dedicated 1V/OCT CV input for Filter B cutoff pitch tracking. Receives Filter A's 1V/OCT signal via normalling when nothing is plugged in.578 |
| FM1 A | cv | — | First CV input for Filter A cutoff. Unipolar attenuator; tracks 1V/Oct when fully clockwise.578 |
| FM1 B | cv | — | First CV input for Filter B cutoff. Unipolar attenuator.578 |
| FM2 A | cv | — | Second scalable CV input for Filter A cutoff. Normalled to Filter B's FM2 input when Filter B's FM2 jack is unplugged. Level and polarity controlled by FM2 attenuverter knob.578 |
| FM2 B | cv | — | Second scalable CV input for Filter B cutoff. Receives Filter A's FM2 signal via normalling when nothing is plugged in.578 |
| IN A | audio | — | Audio input to Filter A.578 |
| IN B | audio | — | Audio input to Filter B.578 |
| Q CV A | cv | — | CV input for controlling Filter A resonance (Q).578 |
| Q CV B | cv | — | CV input for controlling Filter B resonance (Q).578 |
| XFADE CV | cv | — | CV input for controlling XFADE blend. Passes through XFADE Attenuverter and sums with XFADE knob position. When audio-rate signals are patched here with phase-inverted Filter B, creates ring modulation.578 |
| Outputs (3) | |||
| MIX OUT | audio | — | Outputs a blend of Filter A and Filter B determined by the XFADE knob and XFADE CV input.578 |
| OUT A | audio | — | Audio output of Filter A.578 |
| OUT B | audio | — | Audio output of Filter B.578 |
Parameters 21
| Name | Type | Range | Behavior |
|---|---|---|---|
| A CUTOFF | knob | — | Sets the cutoff frequency of Filter A. Combined with FM1 and FM2 CV inputs.578 |
| A FM1 | knob | — | Controls the amount of attenuation for Filter A's FM1 input. Tracks 1V/Oct when fully clockwise but a dedicated 1V/OCT input is also available.578 |
| A FM2 | knob | — | Attenuverter for Filter A's FM2 input. Maximum positive effect fully clockwise; maximum inverted effect fully counter-clockwise; no effect at 12 o'clock.578 |
| A IN | knob | — | Sets the drive/amplification of Filter A's input signal. Unity gain at 12 o'clock with a typical 10Vp-p Eurorack signal. Past 12 o'clock induces soft clipping.578 |
| A MODE | knob | — | Cycles between the six filter modes for Filter A: LP2, LP1, BP1, HP1, HP2, BR1.578 |
| A Q | knob | — | Sets the resonance of Filter A. Combined with the Q CV input. At maximum, causes self-oscillation producing a pitched sine wave.578 |
| A Q-DRIVE | knob | — | Adds additional drive to Filter A's resonance path to prevent resonance being drowned out at higher amplitudes. Provides a warming growl at mid Q values. When the filter self-oscillates, increasing Q-DRIVE soft-clips the sine wave, adding harmonic content. Has no effect when Q is turned down.578 |
| B CUTOFF | knob | — | Sets the cutoff frequency of Filter B. Combined with FM1 and FM2 CV inputs.578 |
| B FM1 | knob | — | Controls the amount of attenuation for Filter B's FM1 input.578 |
| B FM2 | knob | — | Attenuverter for Filter B's FM2 input. Maximum positive effect fully clockwise; maximum inverted effect fully counter-clockwise; no effect at 12 o'clock.578 |
| B IN | knob | — | Sets the drive/amplification of Filter B's input signal. Unity gain at 12 o'clock with a typical 10Vp-p Eurorack signal. Past 12 o'clock induces soft clipping.578 |
| B MODE | knob | — | Cycles between the six filter modes for Filter B: LP2, LP1, BP1, HP1, HP2, BR1.578 |
| B Q | knob | — | Sets the resonance of Filter B. Combined with the Q CV input. At maximum, causes self-oscillation producing a pitched sine wave.578 |
| B Q-DRIVE | knob | — | Adds additional drive to Filter B's resonance path to prevent resonance being drowned out at higher amplitudes. Provides a warming growl at mid Q values. Has no effect when Q is turned down.578 |
| DRY A | switch | — | When switched to Dry (up), bypasses Filter A so its output is identical to its input. Used with XFADE to set a wet/dry mix.578 |
| DRY B | switch | — | When switched to Dry (up), bypasses Filter B so its output is identical to its input. Used with XFADE to set a wet/dry mix.578 |
| OVERDRIVE | switch | — | Overdrive distortion modelled after the Proco Rat guitar pedal.578 |
| PHASE INVERT | switch | — | Inverts the phase of Filter B's signal fed to the XFADE/MIX output. Used for ring modulation (with XFADE at noon and DRY switches active) or creating subtly different timbres when combining the two filters.578 |
| SERIES/PARALLEL | switch | — | Routes signal flow between the two filters. In Series (up), Filter A output feeds into Filter B input. In Parallel (down), both filters process independently. Determines how the two filters are combined at the MIX output.578 |
| XFADE | knob | — | Sets the balance between Filter A and Filter B at the MIX output. At 12 o'clock both filters are equally present. Clockwise favors Filter B; counter-clockwise favors Filter A. When Filter B is phase-inverted and XFADE is at noon, the filters cancel to silence — routing an audio signal into XFADE CV creates ring modulation.578 |
| XFADE ATTENUVERTER | knob | — | Reduces and/or inverts how much the XFADE CV input modulates the XFADE. At 12 o'clock, XFADE CV has no effect. Clockwise skews toward more Filter B; counter-clockwise skews toward more Filter A.578 |
