The Wiard Zero Prototype & Bimorphic Filter Research Prototype

This one in via Mr. Array. What you are looking at is The Wiard Zero Prototype built into Aries 300 module frames. You can find more pics and details on this sub-page of Grant Richter's synth-DIY page. Be sure to check out his site for more. Grant is the man behind Wiard. The following is an excerpt on the Bimorphic Filter Research Prototype (more modules are listed in the sub-page linked above):

"There are so many good filters in the world. I wasn't even sure I was going to make one. A system isn't complete without a filter though. But what new twist can I bring to filter design? One thing I'd like to see is voltage control of filter type. The way this is done is to take the sections of a filter (called "poles") and surround them with a switch matrix so they can be rewired into useful filter types (lowpass, bandpass, highpass and phase shift). An analog to digital converter is used to control the switch matrix, giving voltage control of the type."
