Help me find a standalone filter for my synth rig

Post by WORMDIRT »

Is this a thing?
I have a Roland d50 (I'm in love :love: ) as the main synth for my (mostly) tabletop house/ambient/whatever setup but I need to filter them pads

I was thinking I could get a eurorack or 2 and have a tiny Euro setup, but I'm not too keen on diving into the $$ and obsession that is modular.

:idk:

How portable/durable does it need to be? Korg Monotrons are cheap and have an aux in to that delicious MS20 filter...

Oh snap, I totally forgot about those, I'll probably grab one just cause.
Cheaper is better, but something that I'll not have to upgrade from would be better. ~$100 would be perfect.

The best filter I could recommend around $100 would be a used Source Audio Stingray. On the Stingray, you can engage two adjacent modes at once. It also does phasing. If you want a smooth multi-mode filter, that's a good choice.

My current fave is the Lida Machine (about $205 on sale weekends). If you want something with a lot of movement, the Lida has a gorgeous sound. With independent filters that play off each other, you get a less static, pseudo-random type of pulsing throb---does trem and sputtering warbles well. The Lida has more body, but they're really quite different in terms of what they offer.

The stingray seems to be floating around $160-200
I'm thinking I might just get a wasp filter and mount it for that price.

The monotrons are quite noisy. I cannot really recommend them for this purpose. They are cool toys, though.

After looking up the Wasp filter, suddenly I'm totally in love :facepalm:

And also the option to pair it with a Behringer Tube Monster ($50) and another Wasp on on the other side? Not a Pretty Years, but pretty close? (The less modular I get into the better, tho) :?:

I think an MSL wasp is the front runner for me right now, unless there is an ms20 in a box that runs on 9v for sale somewhere
