via orange_LED on the forum. Note the image here is actually The Toad (listed for auction here) referenced below, and not the new filter."I finished a prototype of this filter and have the pcb laid out already. It is a matter of meeting my budget to have these made. Most likely it will be released late November early december.
Here's the Info.
-it will be self powered and an External VCF for your Modular or DJ/VSt/VA filtering purposes. it will come with a Wall wart plug.
-it has Line Level boosters so if you plug in a 'low' level signal it has a Gain Knob to amplify it. If you do that to a high Synth Level signal you will make a cool distorted signal. It is possible to plug in a guitar direct and amplify.
-there will be 2 of those Boosters and they will have an final 'input' Knob to fine tune Distorted (just the way you want it)sound going into the VCF and Attenuate. Otherwise if you cranked the GAIN all the way it would be over kill sound going direct to the vcf with no way to adjust it. The whole sound input thing was all well thought out.
-it will have (1) onboard LFO, a slim down version of the TOAD lfo.
-I figured out a REZ HACK FOR THIS TOO! there will be 2 switches to give you different flavors of the unique Rez on this thing.
-all the inputs/outputs wil be 1/4" phono
-it will look like the same design as the Toad (lexan and wood) and be called a 'the Tadpole VCF'.
-The size is a little smaller than a DR670 drum machine.
-I have to build one from the final PCB and see about parts/etc before I decide on a price. The goal is to sell it less then 200.00
**Here's more happy news: I got all worked up about this external vcf idea and already have an EMS VCF clone laid out also But I only managed to cram the VCF only, no onboard LFO"
i now have 2 toads. if he makes this polivoks thing, i'll buy one too.
