Description

From manufacturer:Philosophy/What is it? The Plague Bearer is called a filter, but that is just a description of the circuit topology, what it can actually do goes way beyond that. It has been described as a filter, a mangler, a crusher, and – my favorite – as an "FSU module"1 . I think calling it a filter may be a bit misleading, but I have no idea what else to call it. It is a filter, but it does more (all at the same time, really) excessive phase shifting, waveforming, ringing, formant generation, and so on. I guess it could be called a waveform modifier or enhancer, but those don't sound good either. I called it the Plague Bearer for a reason. If you are looking for technical synthophile specs you are out of luck here. All f(h) devices are designed in accordance with how they sound, not to achieve mathematical perfection. The most common question I receive is, "what is the filter slope?" Honestly, I never measured that. I specifically avoided the conventional approach while I was designing this circuit, so it's very problematic to try to describe this filter in the normal terms. The slope is directly tied to the gain of the circuit, making it variable, and the Q is affected by all three filter controls. The setup is actually a combined High- and Low-pass. The corner frequencies are adjusted by the controls and can be overlapped completely, which gives a comb-filtering effect. The rest is for you to discover.Changes in Rev 3.1 • Added voltage-controlled gain OPTION– yes, it works somewhat like a VCA, except that the fc and Q are affected by the gain. Due to the overwhelming requests to keep the PB format as it is, the VC gain input will not be brought out to the panel this run. The header is on the PCB for those that wish to do so themselves. • Boosted low-end output – can go much deeper/richer than previously. • Increased signal input attenuation – handles stronger signals much better now. • Increased high-gain distortion – Nastier! • Improved self-oscillation – Self-osc. on earlier versions was widely different for each unit, not any more. This version is touchy. • Easter eggs! – Not the edible ones, nothing to do with anything cute, furry, pagan, or fertile in any way, actually, just (barely) hidden goodies. Nothing too special, so don't get all drippy-excited or anything. • MUCH more touchy and weird. You'll see.
