From the project
Fully analog DIY-friendly modular synth
Dual mode Eurorack compatible analog multimode diode filter.
- Classic diode filter with extremely drippy character - Low pass and high pass filter inputs - Fine-tunable maximum resonance control — can go smooth to crazy - Two external CV inputs with logarithmic attenuverters - Optional EMC shielding to isolate external noise - Separate core and UI PCBs for reusability and custom UI builds - Gerber files for JLCPCB order - Designed from very common electronic components
