PREFACE
First of all, congratulations on the purchase of this 3U Eurorack synthesizer
module. This manual contains a condensed description of the functionality
and addresses users with a certain level of elementary technical knowledge.
The CS-8 VCF1E is a very versatile, fully analogue, programmable and voltage-
controlled filter (VCF). It is capable of processing all sorts of audio signals. It is
designed for mounting into a 3U Eurorack with an internal +/- 12V power
supply.
Basically,
two modes are possible. The classical filter mode with 12
selectable different functions (low-, high,- band-passes) and the phaser
mode with also 12 phaser-sounding combining modes (4x phaser-, 2x low-,
2x high,- 4x band-passes).
For the classic filter mode
3 different resonance modes are available, where
each of these generate for each filter function again different sound
impressions. So, there is no rule how to sound a certain selected resonance
mode. It depends on the selected function.
With a further 4-pos. rotary switch the
resonance emphasize is dialable,
which provides further sound nuances. This is also equipollent to the
amplitude of the self-oscillation. An illuminated tactile switch allows to add a
unique
2nd harmonic distortion to the resonance sound.
The frequency range (cutoff) goes from 2 Hz to 40 kHz. A gain controller allows
input-to-output gains from -20 db to 0 db. A clip LED light up just before
output clipping.
Design and implementation meet highest technical standards concerning
usability, sound quality, and signal-to-noise ratio. The front panel is made from
powdered and printed piece of aluminium sheet metal of 2 mm gauge. The
entire design and production work was done in Germany.
