Modal Electronics Launches Filton Eurorack Module as Exclusive Kickstarter Project

– Renowned innovator of next-generation synthesisers releases its first Eurorack module, bringing the sound of a new-vintage classic to electronic musicians worldwide. –

Bristol, UK - 7 September 2022. Modal Electronics, a leading global synthesiser manufacturer, today announced Filton, a 20HP Dual Analogue Transistor Ladder Filter Module for Eurorack.

Based on the most popular classic filter design in synth history, Filton delivers the distinctive saturated transistor overdrive, resonant harmonic peaks and warm analogue timbres that is adored by many synth lovers for generations. In our acclaimed 002 synth we introduced the concept of polesweeping into the circuitry to allow seamless filter morphing from four pole through bandpass to one pole 6db per octave, or anywhere in between.

Since then, we were asked by many to release the 002 filter as a separate product to use with external sound sources or in Eurorack setups. Filton is our answer to these passionate musicians and producers.

Although the ladder filter within Filton incorporates the same filter circuitry from the 002 synthesiser, Modal made many alterations to the original design to improve both stability and sound. Also, this module contains two discrete filters rather than just one, to process two sound signals independently or allow for series or parallel processing of a single source.

Each filter features an audio input, four analogue CVs with attenuvertor controls for FM, Resonance, Morph and Level, pitch tracking provided by the 1V/Oct input, an audio output and a mixed output. All CV inputs on Filter A have been normalled to Filter B, meaning any CV signal plugged into Filter A is automatically sent to Filter B if nothing is plugged into the corresponding input.

Filton will be available as a limited Kickstarter edition from 7th September 2022. Modal has no plans to distribute it using its usual distribution network. Various pledge models are available, whereas a single Filton module will be at £299.

DIY Drone Synthesizer : Vaemi

video upload by Vaemi

"It is a drone synthesizer that can be played with 4 analog channels or 4 voices. You can play it with the touchpads or the buttons. The main difference between the touchpads and the buttons is that the former reacts accordingly to the level of pressure you force upon them with your finger. In fact, each channel is designed as a monophonic synth voice, and each has a sustain-release 2-stage envelope and a basic vca. In total, it has 4 envelopes and 4 vcas. Behind the VCA, there is a 4- channeled mixer. This mixer is used for the summing of these 4 voice channels. A modulation of frequency between the Oscillators 1-2 and the Oscillators 3-4 is possible. At the very end of this diagram, there is an RC filter that can adjust the frequency rate and tune of the synthesizer. It can run with a 9v DC adaptor or with batteries. The audio output is designed as a 1/8mm TS jack.

Technicial Specifications:
• 4 Polyphony
• 4 Analog Oscillator
• Touchpads and Buttons
• 4 Analog Envelope (Sustain, Release)
• 4 Analog VCA
• 4 Channel Mixer
• 1 Analog RC Filter
• FM Modulation
• Can work with adapter or 9V battery
• Mono Output (1/8mm jack output)"
