Waldorf MiniWorks 4-Pole MIDI Analog Synth Style Filter

via this auction
"The MiniWorks is a stand-alone 4-pole resonant analog filter and modulation module. Use it to create those Daft-Punk filter sweeps on entire drum & rhythm loops!

Run any sounds, synthesizers or loops through it and filter them with a truly analog-like VCF filter that is not only very flexible but MIDI controllable as well!

There are many modulation sources that can be programmed between the extensive VCF, VCA, envelope and LFO sections and these settings can be stored in the (20) user memory patches.

The MiniWorks can also be overloaded for a lo-fi crunchy sound too! If it were a true stereo filter it would be perfect (input is mono, output is stereo), but in its price range it is the best analog filter module available!"

Update via Qwave in the comments: "This is the second revision with the 12 V power input. It features the same filter design as the Waldorf Pulse. The first revisions used the Curtis CEM 3387 filter chip. More details at http://faq.waldorfian.info/4-pole-inside.html. The beta-test and first revision are Georg "swissdoc" Müller 4-poles. The second revision with the 12 V input is mine. And they do sound very different ! But which you prefer is a matter of taste."
