Crazy Chicken Modular SHRIMPY filter musical demonstration

"Musical exploration of new eurorack filter by Crazy Chicken Modular - SHRIMPY."

Shrimpy is a fully analog multimode voltage-controlled filter with three simultaneous audio outputs: low-pass, band-pass, and high-pass. It was designed with a strong focus on character rather than neutrality.

The resonance is voiced to emphasize midrange frequencies, giving the filter a present, expressive tone that cuts through a mix. At higher settings, it becomes vivid and assertive without collapsing into thinness.

At the heart of Shrimpy lies an unusual distortion chain integrated directly into the filter core. This distortion adds a pleasant crunch, enriching the sound. When pushed further, it can turn glitchy and rustling, introducing rough textures and unstable edges that make the filter feel alive. It should be noted that the distortion sound characteristics will depend on the Shrimpy settings and the input signal, since distortion occurs in the filter core itself, rather than at its input or output.

All parameters are fully voltage-controllable:
Cutoff frequency (with and without attenuator)
Resonance
Distortion amount

This makes Shrimpy a flexible yet opinionated sound processing tool, well suited for experimental patches, aggressive basses, textured leads, drones, and evolving soundscapes."
