I really love the harvestman polivoks vcf. smol soviet bb.
do polivoks filters from other manufacturers sound/behave notably different?

#23

hearing a lot of people talk about using 3sis as a sound source - I have done it occasionally too, but for those of you who do it all the time how do you tune the thing? I feel like thereā€™s some magic of the span+quality+freq combo relationships that I canā€™t crack in a musical way when using more than one of the outputs.

Iā€™ve been eyeing the WMD Overseer (HP/LP stereo filter) to go along with a stereo delay setup Iā€™m planning. Out of the filters I already have though, I think the QMMG is my fav: I use it on every patch, often with two or three channels in series!

Hereā€™s a super boring question. Does anyone know of any high pass filter modules thatā€™s sole purpose is to roll off low frequencies and adds no character or color what so ever? Basically just a utility with a cutoff knob to clean up low end and prevent muddiness in a patch. It would even be fine if it was fixed and cut everything from 300Hz down.

@photofractal I think there are a few small fixed filter modules, eg Bastl Propust comes to mind, that might fulfil this idea

I LOVE Bastl Cinnamon. Love this filter, and competes with the best at 5hp

Ah yes! This one is pretty great actually. Such a simple but useful module. Thanks!

ā€“ use Formant mode
ā€“ Center is unaffected by Span, so monitor it and tune it first, then bring in the other outputs and adjust Span to set the relationship between them
ā€“ Iā€™m not sure itā€™s very accurate over more than a couple of octaves, but mine probably needs calibration
ā€“ the FM input is exponential, so if you use it, good luck.
ā€“ self-FM will definitely spoil any chances of tuning it, unless maybe you use a PLL, and thatā€™s another can of worms :slight_smile:

Loving my Bastl Cinnamon, the dirt you can get from it is super satisfying. Thinking about getting a second

My favorite filters are:

Mannequins Three Sisters
Make Noise QMMG
Rossum Evolution
R*S Variable Slope Filter
XAOC Belgrad
Doepfer A-106-5 SEM
Doepfer A-106-6 XP

In that order. Iā€™ll never get rid of the first three, no matter what the space constraints are.

I donā€™t have many filters in my modular (uVCF, Cinnamon, Optomix) but from those I definitely prefer the Cinnamon. The uVCF might be cleaner somehow and is probably a better sine oscillator (though Cinnamon works fine in that regard too) but I always end up using Cinnamon first. The input overdrive and character switches are great for what I like to doā€¦

Not too big on filters in terms of high/low passing stuff, mostly because I donā€™t have too many in my case. I do have a MMG that I use mostly as a LPG and for more percussive stuff. Just installed a LxD for the same duties - first impression is very nice. Paired with a attenuater/-verter it can do filter sweeps and all that. Other than that Iā€™m borrowing a Tonestar 8106 (semi-modular eurorack synth voice) that has a really nice sounding VCF, packed with great features like LFO, envelopes and such. I really like that one!

Iā€™m very intrigued by the Three Sisters. Pretty sure that will be my next addition to the case.

do we really need another vote for 3 sisters?

yes, i think we do :slight_smile:

favorite filter by far. iā€™ve sometimes contemplated a secondā€¦ but good golly, three? now thereā€™s a thought.

edit: iā€™ll just add that i really love the filter on the atlantis, too. smooth, comforting, classic.

Same, I swapped my uVCF for a Cinnamon. the uVCF is really solid butā€¦ I donā€™t know, I found it kind of bland? Didnā€™t do much for me.

Iā€™m rather fond of the AJH Mini Mod transistor ladder filter. Iā€™m going to have to find some space for the Three Sisters though.

Another 3 Sisters fan here (I know rightā€¦ yawn :grin:).

Mixing 3 different sound sources through the separate filter inputs is great fun (love using the harmonic outputs from Just Friends for this).

Iā€™d put a vote in for Ripples too. The filter+VCA is a handy package (plus it sounds super).

That MMF is very skiff friendly.

I hear you on the Elements. I love it but it does take up a lot of space.
