Stereo Morphing MS-20 Style Filter & Saturating VCA // Procyon from Eon


video upload by DivKid

"Here we have the mega characterful stereo morphing filter based on the already characterful Korg MS-20 filter circuit with added stereo VCA and oodles of extra saturation on tap … meet PROCYON from EON AUDIO DESIGN.

This is the first module from Eon but Noé behind the company is no stranger to module design and Eurorack having worked at Instruo for the past few years (he still works there too). In full support of Instruo and with help from the Glasgow Synth Guild who build these modules Eon have released Procyon which is out now. Procyon is a stereo input and stereo output morphing VCF and VCA combo with flexible routing and modulation options, plenty of saturation and ways to manipulate your audio. Check out the timing index below to skip around with plenty of patch examples and things you can try for yourself.

Procyon is available here with further info and the manual etc // https://www.glasgowsynthguild.com/sho..."
