raw filter sweeps video upload by WORNG Electronics
"To demonstrate the character of the Glowing Orb stereo state variable filter a series of filter sweeps were recorded. The audio passed from the Glowing Orb, through a SideCar VCA, Instruo Cuir output module and then to a Sound Devices MixPre 6 field recorder. No additional audio processing has been carried out apart from level adjustment."
"Glowing Orb is a new vintage-voiced, Stereo State Variable Filter from WORNG Electronics. It takes the SSI2140 filter core (based on the SSM2040 filter which gives the Prophet 5 Rev 2 its big and beefy sound) and configures it in a -12dB/oct SVF circuit based on the Oberheim SEM design, combining characteristics of two of the best loved, best sounding vintage filters in a unique combination. Of course a module from WORNG Electronics has to include 21st century features like stereo operation, volt per octave tracking and a gain compensated drive circuit which enables an extraordinarily wide tonal palette.
At 10hp, Glowing Orb is perfect for any sized system large or small, and packs in just the controls you need to keep things compact while still being incredibly usable, with space around the controls designed for human fingers.
The module features stereo input, with normalling for mono to stereo operation if only the left input is patched. The stereo output switches between sweepable Low Pass/Notch/High Pass, and Band Pass filter slopes, on a single output pair to simplify patching.
