Futureretro Introduces TRANSFER Eurorack Filter Module w/ 16 Filter Types

video upload by FutureRetroSynths

"The new Futureretro TRANSFER filter in 90 seconds."

https://future-retro.com/transfer/

"The Futureretro TRANSFER is a 12hp Eurorack analogue filter featuring 16 different types of fully controllable filters with CV inputs, a voltage controlled amplifier, and an input overdrive. While the included 4 types of commonly used low pass filters, and the 12 specially crafted unique filters were specifically engineered to be the perfect sonic pairing with our TRAX and TRANSIENT models, the TRANSFER also functions perfectly with any modular setup.

3 larger control pots give immediate and easy access to CUTOFF, INPUT DRIVE, and RESONANCE control with the three smaller attenuators/attenuverters control input from the TYPE CV, CUTOFF CV, and RESONANCE CV input jacks. A VCA (voltage controlled amplifier) jack is conveniently placed at the bottom row along with standard INPUT and OUTPUT jacks."

Muse | Dual Filter Configuration

video upload by Moog Music

"In this video, we explore the configuration of the Dual Filters of Moog Muse.

Each filter has cutoff and resonance controls, an envelope amount attenuator, and the ability to assign 50% or 100% keyboard tracking. There is also an order switch and link filters button to configure how these filters interact. Filter one is unique because it is state variable, featuring a High Pass toggle switch. We then provide practical examples of ways to create Band-pass responses, notch filters, and stereo low-pass filters."

Check with dealers on the right for availability.

t-generator takes the concept of merging modulation sources and destinations into a single module.

t-generator is a multi-parameter Thru-Zero FM VCO. Main outputs are a pure sine wave with its warm sounding harmonically rich wavefolder, a triangle and a morphable square oscillator.

Four independent lightstrips engines controlling four sound sculpting parameters

Bring life to your patches with free running or resettable custom drawn modulations.

Maximum automation recording length of 20s for each parameter.

V/Oct, Thru-Zero FM, PWM and FOLD modulation inputs.

Along with Pulse Width, Fold and Saw morphing, you can play with its Vibrato parameter that will generate a wide palette of effects, starting from subtle vibrato to chaotic frequency modulation.

The integrated touch lightstrip controllers can drive four parameters with looping or one-shot recording playback mode on each track with global RESET input.

Features:
•Eurorack oscillator with self-modulation capabilities
•Four channels parameters recorder
•Up to 20 seconds automation recording time
•Looping, One shot and Hold modes for automations
•CV input and physical control for oscillator parameters
•Three independent outputs (Triangle / Sine with fold / Morphable Square with PWM)

Phase Shavin' | Make Noise

video upload by MAKEN0ISE

"What if instead of monitoring slightly detuned oscillators together, we use them as modulators for each other? There’s a good chance that the periodic phase drifts will start to sonically stick out more than when they are simply summed. The places where they go out of phase may show up in sharper contrast, in other words.
