The Finaliser REQ has been designed to be the last module in the signal chain and add some professional
“polish” to your patch, and comprises three separate sub modules:
Overview
1 - A fully analogue, four channel equaliser:
Three of the channels (Low, Low Mid, High Mid) have parametric equalisation, i.e. it is
possible to select the centre frequency of the equaliser, and then add up to 24dB of
variable Q boost or cut around the selected frequency. The Fourth (high) channel has
selectable shelving frequencies of 2kHz and 5kHz. The Low channel also has a selectable
peak or shelving response.
2 - Sonic Enhancer with High and Low enhancement channels
The Enhancer works by applying phase correction to a specific frequency range, the LOW
Enhancement can add extra punch to the bottom end without muddying up the
midrange, and adding HIGH Enhancement adds extra sparkle and prescence to the mix.
3 - High quality Stereo Reverb with eight preset reverb models
We have selected eight “old school” style stereo reverbs that sound great
with synthesiser patches, with an quick and easy eight way selector switch
and Wet/Dry control either from a front panel control or external CV
signal.
The block diagram below shows how the above component parts are connected together and
the signal flow between them. There are bypass switches for both the Equaliser and the Enhancer
modules, so that these can quickly be switch in or out for a quick and easy comparison against the
incoming dry signal. The left audio signal (post EQ and enhancement) is normalised to the RIGHT
input, so that stereo reverb can be added to a Mono Input.
