This one in via Martin Walker of Sound on Sound and Yew Tree Magic. In addition to the Steampunk style case, there are a number of mods available. If you already own a Shruthi SMR4-mkII, step-by-step guides for the mods are also available on site.
"Housed in a polished wood and brass steampunk-styled casing, the SDE (Sound Designer Edition) is an extensive mod by Martin Walker, giving a host of extra features to the Shruthi-1 with the SMR-4 MkII analogue filter, including:
SHAPES: six filter shapes (LP2, LP4, BP2, BP4, HP2 and Notch).FLAVOUR: six resonant types from extra IR3109 acid squelch, soft resonance, germanium limiting, to evil half-wave rectification.
FMOD: allows the audio signal to directly modulate the filter cutoff frequency - cue rubbery, wobbly sounds and FM mayhem!
DRIVE: for adding overdrive and distortion effects.
FEED: variable filter feedback for extra tonal changes and circuit-bent mayhem.
RESCMP: three different resonance compensation treatments mimicking Roland, Moog and Korg filter types.
Extensive audio demos and step-by-step circuit mod guides are provided at www.yewtreemagic.co.uk/soundworlds2.php, so you can add any or all of the mods to your own Shruthi SMR4-mkII synth."
