8 Band Filter/Shifter/Shaper

Ekssperimental Sounds Studio

Where to get itAvailable from Ekssperimental Sounds Studioreasonstudios.com

Each band combines a dual bandpass filter (selectable at 6dB/Oct or 12dB/Oct slope), frequency shifter, waveshaper, and envelope follower, with extensive CV modulation routing for dynamic control. Inspired by West Coast modular synthesis aesthetics, it excels at creating timbral transformations from surgical filtering to experimental sound design.

Written from the manual and checked against it. How we check

Key Features

018 dual bandpass filters with 6dB/Oct or 12dB/Oct slope selection
028 frequency shifters for inharmonic shifts from 0.05 Hz to 5 kHz
038 envelope followers with CV output for dynamic control
04Waveshaping with single sinewave (saturates signal) and triple sinewave (folds signal) options
05Spreading functionality to pan odd and even bands in opposite directions
06Built-in auto-compressor on each band and output summing mixer
07CV control of filter frequency, shift depth, level, and mix parameters
08Direct inputs on bands 3-8 that bypass the input drive stage

Things to Try

  • 01Try patching envelope follower outputs to the next band's level control for basic vocoder effects (examples available in the included patch bank)
  • 02Experiment with super low-frequency material coupled with high resonance for 'pinging' effects
  • 03Bypass the filters using the filter mode switch middle position to utilize the waveshaper and compressor without filtering
  • 04Increase the input level to create more exaggerated compression and waveshaping, since the degree of waveshaping and compression is determined by signal level
