New Catgirl Synth Steiner- Parker VCF


via this auction

"Multimode Analog Filter 5U MOTM Format
Did someone say acid? Sick resonance + Interpolating Scanner effect when the same sound is used on all the filter inputs. Why does every builder make one of these? Because it sounds so nasty!

I origianally built this for use in my modular. This is brand new and and fully tested. This will be the only one I have available so get it while you can.

You won't find a nicer version of this module. Every component is the highest quality available: BTI Conductive Plastic Pots, Switchcraft Jacks, Mil Spec RG-174 Coax on audio signals, Polyester Film Capacitors, etc. Excellent build quality. One mean filter. I am happy to be able to share this module with another synth enthusiast.

Here is some additional information about the Steiner VCF from the CGS Website:

"This module is a "tribute" module, based on the awesome Steiner-Parker Synth VCF. Those who know me will know I'm not a big VCF fan. Nonetheless, this VCF really appeals to me. Its sound is quite unlike the Moog ladder, has a lot of character.

Resonance is a bit unusual in its behavior. Once it starts oscillating, the resonance pot needs to be backed off a fair way to get it to stop again. It can also be frequency dependent.

How to use this module:

Connect the CV input to a voltage source such as a keyboard, envelope generator or sequencer. Connect the output to a VCA or amplifier. Feed the signal to be filtered into the high-pass, band-pass or low-pass input.

Unlike the original, this version allows signals to be fed into all inputs simultaneously. If the same signal is used in all inputs, the result is reminiscent of a phaser. The real fun starts when you feed different signals into each input, then you get a frequency based "interpolating scanner", where panning between different sound sources is possible, though also subject to the frequency at which they are running. I have never heard an effect like it before." - Ken Stone"
