Winnows (Black Panel)

Dual VC Resonator

Winnows brings radical resonant filtering to the 1U row. Make your basslines growl like it’s 1999. Create clean resonant tones and layers, tuned percussion, steep filtered peaks, vowel filters and more.

Each filter channel comprises two state variable filter cores, the first producing a 2-Pole band-pass response, with resonance and self-oscillation amounts set by a 3-Pole feedback network. Signals are then routed through a 1-Pole low-pass damping stage to remove harshness if it is required. At this stage the signal can be routed to the channel output, or switched and routed through a second series of resonant SVF and 1-Pole LPF damping stages. Circuitry is identical per channel and audio is normalled between channels when there is no signal plugged into channel 2.

• Steep and spiked or wide and smooth, resonant bandpass filters
• Zone in on and reinforce a sound’s dominant frequency, create overtones using both channels
• Create sharp resonant peaks, dull or remove any harshness with VC damping
• Use the resonator as a sound source by shaping and triggering tuned percussion tones or kick drums
• Per channel: 2 x VCA based SVF, 2 x 1-pole damping LPF, 1 x 3-Pole resonance core
• Identical circuitry per channel, CV and audio jacks are normalled between channels
• Capable of clean sine wave output self-oscillation (with voltage control)
• Combine channels for vowel-type responses and other creative filtering
