WMD Channel Surfer (CHNL SRFR) – Features & Controls Explained

video upload by WMDevices

"Channel Surfer (CHNL SRFR) is a 4HP stereo channel strip that combines three modules in one: a 3-band EQ, performance filters with drive, and a 9-effect processor with stereo ducking. A three-way switch selects which section the three knobs control, and all three sections run at the same time. Settings stay where you leave them when you switch. Channel Surfer has its own stereo ins and outs, so it works anywhere in your system. It also connects to the channel insert headers on the back of the Performance Mixer MkII, which keeps your front panel patching clean.

In this video, Alex covers installing Channel Surfer on the Performance Mixer MkII, the EQ with shiftable band frequencies, the low pass and high pass filters with resonance and post-filter drive, a tour of all nine effects, sidechain ducking, saving and loading presets, and assigning the CV input to any main knob parameter.
