This gave me the mightiest of gas.

UC, yeah there's a "blank" lightning wave, you can load your own modules into it, but I have no idea if you could use it to draw an waveform and then send it CV out with a module.

If so...you're a genius.

DoS, I know the one you mean but fucked if I can recall it's name, either.

The bolded part is exactly how I kinda feel. Might've been a cause of all previous filter demos was all funk stuff and really boring shit, but lately some really cool stuff has happened. I think for me it started with Knobs happiness demo, or that vid got his shapeshift mountain.

That protostar sounds really cool too. Damn, so many choices all of a sudden. Oh well, I'm pedging until christmas is over anyway

Any recommendations for filters that don't do the mutron thing or the wah thing? I was thinking MF Drive, but I really want the filter from my microbrute in a pedal

First thoughts:

Koma ft-201
Basic Peak Freq
Copilot has some options
Moog MF-101

Just get a Steiner filter built into a pedal. I'm sure somebody like make sounds loudly would do it.

CGS prints boards for them and let makes a eurorack kit that is reasonably priced. You would just need a power supply and possibly some modulation.

I've ran a few diy modular circuits with 2 9v batteries...but it may not work for everything and a basic power supply may not be the hardest thing to diy (just need enough ma and voltage off a wall wart AC supply).

Mutron Micro V has way less of an envelope to it than things like a q-tron. Some of the maxons, if you play right, the envelope sweep can be controled too (the fire blade was fairly easy). Mode machines made standalone wasp and juno filters for a while.

Does the pdf-1/2 count as a filter?

Yeah definitely. PDF/Maestro MPF's are glorious.

The Peak Freq is just a resonant band-pass filter. I really like the way it sounds though.

I still wanna Wasp filter.

Definitely a filter.

I wanna filter that makes me sound like this:

Boatrich is kinda looking for a static, resonant filter it sounds like which is why I though the Peak Freq would fit. It's just an option. I guess, in some ways, it is getting into the parked wah territory. haha. I dunno.

LAL Cyber Psychic might be an option.

Peak Freq is kinda weak as far as filters go. Definitely more like parked wah.

The MF was much more powerful. It colored the sound too much for me. Very Moog.

The Cyber Psychic may be overkill. I love it.

I like more subtle filters these days haha (will always love the cyber psychic though....thing is awesome)...however:



I want one of those.

haha. For under $400 (not $750).

That looks nice. I still wanna Sherman Filterbank too.

I'd also love to to give the Happiness a go. I had a chance and didn't. The ARF is fucking great too! A second version is coming out I believe, but I could be mistaken.

Louise (Aen's wife) told me they were nixing the ARF V2 idea after the prototyping didn't work quite right.

But yeah to answer the main question of this thread I would definitely recommend the Happiness. It's an incredible pedal with plenty of unusual/unpredictable LFO shapes due to the Scramble function & the shape control (sawtooth to triangle to ramp)

Yeah basically,I think LWA Joe is building me one based on the Steiner Parker filter, a fuzz built in, expression/CV control over cutoff and volume, and I'm thinking I'll get a copilot broadcast to modulate it, or have a switchable LFO built in if that's a thing.

I have been enjoying messin with feedback from my contact mic contraptions ....and thing is ive been using the msl gristleizer in a new way, by turning the rate all way down, and set on square wave, with the shape mix down, it's bias does not sweep and takes the feedback and gives it a wah filter sound changing the tone of the feedback.
...now was wondering what other pedal I could use with just this situation of being able to intensify feedback and change its harmonic content by not a filter pedal but an oscillator controlled filter like the gristle LFO WAH filter sound...
