"North Coast Synthesis their Coiler VCF-multimode filter.
After a little bit of fun, it is certain to say that this is a great filter with a very smooth structure that translates into very beautiful sounds. The Coiler multilayer filter and rectifier pack the entire sound shaping nest into a single Eurorack 8HP module. It is a bipolar floating point filter based on a unique integrator design that stores energy in both induction coils and capacitors depending on the frequency range. The transition area between the two components and the saturation characteristics of traditional OTA based amplifiers offer warmth and ever-changing hues in the mid-range range, as well as hissing highs and slimminging lows. This is a slightly unpredictable filter and here we confirm it.
Definitely worth attention when the next filters are only aggressive, here you can get different colors and other saturation in traditional subtractive patches."

It's a two-pole state-variable filter based on a unique integrator design which stores energy in both inductors and capacitors depending on the frequency range. The transition region between the two components, and the saturation characteristics of the traditional OTA-based amplifiers, offer warmth and ever-shifting timbres in the midrange, along with hissing highs and slithering lows.

"Checking out the C.V kit with the little bit's sequencer, waiting for the stranger bitranger to arrive in the mail. Putting together sonic flea circus just for giggles. Also waiting for the Pico voice euro module to arrive and a Bastl dude attitude mini mixer."
"The OB-6's place as one of the finest polys on the market is (I assume!!) by this stage likely without question. But the big question is: is the OB-6 also one of the finest monosynths DSI has ever produced?!
In mono mode it is brutal. For around the first minute of this video I'm layering the voices, starting with only one, through to all 6. This gives a good sense of the size of the sound. Sometimes a sound can be 'too big' - which is where the voice-layering/stripping possibilities are very useful.
At around 1:13 I'm turning the detune knob - hence the wider sound. Again, great sound.
Towards the end of the improv, the tone reminded me of Chicane's music. I think the track is called 'Fibreglasses', but I could be wrong, as I haven't listened to it since the album release. I'm probably not even playing it in the correct key!
PS excuse any errors - this was a literal 'sit down and hit record' improv as a Friday-night break from a transcription project I'm working on.
"This Kurzweil K250 was part of Jim Johnson's (Composer for the WWE) personal studio. It has been tested and is fully functional This Kurzweil K250 is in great condition. Only cosmetic wear is two caps missing on the "Tune" and "Instrument A Group" sliders. The Tune slider shaft is bent slightly but still works well. Includes the power supply which also works as a sustainer pedal for the keyboard itself."
