MacBeth X-Series Backend Filter

via Mr. Array, via Muff's Forum
"- hi guys- well my plan was to have the grounded control for the envelope EG- my experience of using a bipolar control- though neat- makes it tricky to find an accurate zero point between the - and the +. Sometimes I want no envelope present at all- so when the EG control pot is at zero there is no chance of mild sweeping. This is important when approximating 1V/Octave tracking. This EG input control is normalised to the positive going envelope- but can be overidden by patching the negative envelope- or indeed, any othe control or modulation source!

Regarding taking the filter output and feeding it back through one of the audio mixer pots- thats a great idea- I'll look into that tommorow.

And yes- there are the potentiometer controlled inputs- its a small three input mixer! I have tried to put every 'angle' possible on this thing- and hopefully I have! I don't see the justification in having to buy a separate basic mixer for this thing. With the dual oscs and noise- it's a perfect companion. hihi

One further module out of the six planned is a reasonably complex dual mixer that will have multiple inputs and some degree of cv, inversion etc...this will help utilise the multiple outputs from the dual osc module. I could have turned this into a single 84hp synth- but splitting the idea in two allows for thos who want more than one dual osc and or backend filter the option to sonically 'go big'

Again- I appreciate all your feedback- I know what I like- but your suggestions that go out side of my box are most helpful. I'm designing this stuff for you the enthusiasts and it's great fun on the way!"
