Published on Oct 30, 2014 rezfilter

"Here's a lengthy demo demonstrating the new Analogue Solutions Telemark Filter Module:

KEY FEATURES OF TMF -Pure analogue circuitry. -Telemark filter -4 filter types -Low, High, Band, Notch -Resonance (Q) boost feature -Slim design -Spun metal knob caps

The Telemark multimode filter module is based on the filter of the legendary Telemark semi-modular synthesizer.

The filter is a 12db/Octave multimode type. Multimode means there are more than one type of filter output.

There are in fact four: low pass, band pass, high pass and notch filter.
Additionally, notch filter can be varied for an even wider range of sounds.

Use of Gain and Q allow for even wider possibilities.

No special knowledge is required to use this filter. Just plug your audio in the left, and your audio out on the right.

Optionally (and recommended!) patch a control voltage in to give the sound movement."

"The Dirty Electronics Mute Synth II (MSII), is a hand-held synth and sequencer designed in collaboration with the designer and writer, Adrian Shaughnessy. The MSII follows the first Dirty Electronics Mute Synth (MSI), originally created for the legendary Short Circuit presents Mute event at the Roundhouse in 2011.

MSII’s elegant design and focus on usability pushes through a pick-up-and-play approach, with switches and knobs, in conjunction with the touch controls inherent in the MSI, to enable complex and infinite rhythms and sounds to be created simply.

Mute Synth II comes with a selection of works created using the synth by artists associated with Dirty Electronics and Mute.

MSII is designed in collaboration with the designer and writer, Adrian Shaughnessy.

Mute Synth II is a statement against MPEG culture and places an onus on an active participant rather than passive consumer and has been born out of Dirty Electronics’ ongoing commitment to DIY approaches and noise aesthetics, and serves as a catalyst for experimenting with electronic sound.

Additional modules and add-ons make the MSII customisable and scalable.

Packaged with a booklet containing simple and clear instructions, diagrams and essays, the MSII opens-up usability to not only the synth aficionado, but also an untrained enthusiast.

Features:

Designer circuit board
Noise generator
Feedback
Oscillator
Wave-shaping
Buffered output
Sequencer
Touch and pot control
Mini patchbay
Headphone/line output
Battery powered (9v battery not included)
