Dual VCF Module For Eurorack

US ThreeTom Modular's Steve's MS-22 dual VCF is inspired by the Korg MS-20 filter      16/12/19

ThreeTom Modular tells us that they are releasing the Steve’s MS-22 dual VCF module for eurorack. They say that the MS-22 is a dual voltage controlled filter, inspired by the classic Korg MS-20 filter, with an innovative modulation matrix and one of the highest function-to-hp ratios in the land of Eurorack. Here’s more details in their own words…

The MS-22 contains two dedicated filter circuits, one low-pass and the other a high-pass. These are configured in series, the high-pass going into the low-pass. This configuration allows a unique duophonic fighting resonance behaviour. The cutoff frequencies of both filters can be CV’ed. Compared to most bread-and-butter MS-20 clones, the MS-22 is twice the amount of filter condensed down into half the package (4HP).

Furthermore, the MS-22 also has the following unique selling points :

• The MS-22 has a unique modulation matrix that allows to configure many internal patches without using cables. Simply put, the modulation matrix (12-14) lets you route whatever modulation source you have connected to the ACV (auxiliary) input (e.g. an external envelope, LFO, S&H etc) to any or all of the following: HPF cutoff frequency, resonance amount, and input gain amount, either inverted or not
• The MS-22 has a unique link switch, which links the cutoff frequencies of the low-pass and high-pass filters in two different ratios. This creates two flavours of band-pass filters, of which the bandwidth can be tweaked and CV’ed. The switch itself also serves as an awesome performance effect as you can use it to create an instant drop. I demonstrate this near the end of this video.

 

ThreeTom Modular is a small boutique shop based in Belgium, run by Tom Verschooten, as a “hobby that go out of hand”, parallel to his full-time job as an Electronics engineer.
