CGS735 Synthacon Filter Calibration v1

"First mistake in the video, the d:machinery Red LFO is providing a random source, not a sample and hold. I bought this filter used and found the resonance kinda crazy (which apparently is normal) so I decided to calibrate it. That didn't go too well so I started experimenting and here's the result. I have no idea if this is what the filter is supposed to sound like but it is so different from anything else I have, it should be fun."

Only one previous d:machinery post here. Plenty of CGS and Steiner Parker posts. The filter in this video is the filter in the Arturia MiniBrute and MicroBrute. The MiniBrute and MicroBrute were designed by Yves Usson who implemented the Steiner filter in his DIY designs.

"A test of a few devices I have that are all DIY

Main sequence is an Anushri By Mutable instruments , the drums are also the Anushri, but I configured them to run on a different MIDI channel to take advantage of the X0X style sequencing

The filter sweeps and echo are by Little dieter by d-machinery, its a control unit for a Doepfer A100 diy analogue synth, its my noob eurorack module. The LD output is running through a Mutable instruments Shruthi1 which has a Yellow magic filter board ( clone of the korg MS20 ) with a pt2399 delay chip, so I was using t mostly as a delay/echo

It was a lot of fun goofing around, using my big toe to move the arpeggio up and down octaves and running out of hands to twiddle the settings, but it was still fun like I said!"
