vcf filter

 

lfo LFO a single delayed triangular modulator and 2 destinations:

comment

REVIEW "Overall sound is quite classic: all that sonorities from many hits including lush strings, pads, ringing brasses!
Some little weaknesses: do not expect too much complex patches since the signal path is limited.
Underestimated for years, they are getting every day more expensive."
