It's a bit dark in here... Warning: this video is grungy, distorted and loud! Turn your speakers down and adjust up. Watch in 480p. Note it will sound better with decent headphones and/or speakers. Also the noise you hear in the beginning is the line in on the Canon T2i. It goes away the second the audio comes in. Don't be frightened. :) This is a very simple patch: 1. Audio out of a 3 OSC Moog Voyager patch with its filter wide open, no resonance and a held note into the Filtare - nothing in between and no effects. 2. Tiptop Audio Z8000 Matrix Sequencer/Programmer into 1 V/O CV in of Filtare. 3. Harvestman Zorlon Cannon 4bit out into adjustable CV in of Filtare to start, then the filter type CV in at the end. 4. Roland TR-909 for Z8000 clock and kick. What's going on: 0:00 - opening and adjusting the filter cutoff of the Filtare with no mods active and no resonance. 0:14 - adjusting resonance followed by filter 0:28 - starting sequence on Z8000 0:44 - adding Zorlon Cannon CV modulation to Filtare - note all you are hearing is the Moog running through the Filtare. No audio from the Zorlon Canon is coming through. The Zorlon is only a modulation source to the cutoff frequency of the Filtare. 1:09 - I stop the sequence and adjust the amount of modulation coming in from the Zorlon Canon so you can hear some of the spectral harmonics bleeding in and out. 1:30 - sequence kicks in again this time with the bass drum audible followed by slight adjustments. 2:26 - I get some odd rhythmic things happening with the cutoff and resonance. The 909 is still your standard 4/4 kick, so what you are hearing is the Filtare responding to the sequence. 2:44 - I increase the Zorlon Canon modulation for more grunge. 3:01 - I start to sweep the filter mode from Lowpass through Notch to Highpass. 3:12 - I bring the Zorlon Canon mod amount back down. 3:17 - I sweep back to Lowpass and add back the Zorlon making adjustments. 3:51 - I pull out the Zorlon and plug it into the CV mod for filter type. Note the Zorlon Canon 4bit out can be considered a more extreme modulation source. With something like a slower LFO or sequence, the result would of course be much smoother. This video was just a little sound exploration after first use and it did turn out very, very grungy. The Filtare is more than capable of your classic smooth filter characteristics. Check out the sound samples on to the right of the Filtare SEIII site here. Update: Timeline above updated to match YouTube. It was slightly off.
A late Christmas present arrived yesterday. The Eurorack format Filtare SEIII from Division 6.Grungy video below...
This is a very cool filter. Some notable features include:
- Smooth adjustable transition of filter type from Lowpass through Notch to Highpass with Notch out (most filters do not allow this - see the third pic here and the video)- CV in for filter TYPE (you can modulate the filter type!)
- Two CV ins for Filter Cutoff - one adjustable and one 1 V/O fixed
- Separate CV in for Resonance
See Division 6 for full details (also captured in this post).
