"The MFC42 is a true analog filter module designed by Akai for its MPC series equipment. However, you can use it to process any sound source, since it has basic 1/4 "inputs and outputs and MIDI.It has genuine analog filters for that warmer tone with the Lowpass, Highpass, Bandpass and Notch filter types. It consists of a MONO filter section and the STEREO filter section.The MONO section offers 2, 4 and 8 pole filter slopes.The STEREO section offers 2 and 4 pole filter slopes.The 8-pole slope of MONO It uses the entire filter circuit, so the STEREO section is not active, and the MONO section is inactive when the STEREO section is in 4-pole mode, but when both sections are used simultaneously, they can be linked so that the MONO filter control knobs control the MONO and STEREO sections.The link can also be inverted, so that the two sections sweep in opposite directions.

Other features include an ADSR envelope for the filter contour. This envelope can be activated by the MIDI button and Trigger"

These always gave me the impression of two 1U rack units stacked on top of each other. It's actually one unit with a black line dividing the two sections down the middle.
