Waldorf MiniWorks 4Pole Filter


via this auction

"Without doubt, no other synthesizer component has such a decisive effect on sound quality as does the filter. All of us at Waldorf, and of course the owners of Pulse's and Pulse Plus', know all about the exceptional qualities of our analog filters. We would obviously like all musicians to have the chance to access this quality component, so we simply implemented it as a separate module. The 4-pole is our four pole cascade filter, combined with incredibly fast envelopes and a stereophonic amplifier stage. You are free to apply this filter to any audio signal that you manage to patch into the device via a 1/4" jack. So if your favourite sampler or sample player lacks that special quality, you can give it a sonic boost via the 4-pole. You can even overdrive the audio input to get distorted signals, if you like. Cutoff Frequency, Resonance, Volume and Pan may be modulated by numerous modulation sources, eg. LFO, envelopes, MIDI or the built-in envelope follower.
