Description
The Studio Electronics Modstar SEM Oberheim Eurorack 12dB Filter is New Delivered to all areas of the UK using our roadie delivery service.
Sensei Caswell: “Our SEM is known as a ‘Voltage Controlled State Variable Filter’ because it provides simultaneous high pass, low pass, and band pass outputs, all with a 12 dB/oct slope. The notch is the inverse of the bandpass, achieved by summing the Low Pass and high pass outputs. This version is a combination of the original SEM filter and the newer design from the OBX, along with improvements by SE. It has a modest current draw, evenly from the plus and minus rails.”
You may have already heard of the SEM Filter from the Studio Electronics Boomstar Desktop Range; this favourite has been transformed to fit into their new modular series for eurorack systems. Created by synth design guru Tom Oberheim this 12dB filter can be warm, smooth and subtle or fat and punchy, adding real character to your synth patch.
Specifications
Potentiometer Potential
Three attenuverter and four attenuation pots control the FREQUENCY, RESONANCE, FREQ CV 1, RESO CV, LP HP, INPUT and OUTPUT, delivering smooth, detailed, and complex expression.
Switch it Up
FULL and HALF strength filter frequency keyboard/voltage tracking, and BP / LP-HP modes.
Patch it Up
Seven patch points: 1 V/O, FREQ CV 1, FREQ CV 2, RESO CV, INPUT, BP LP-HP, and OUTPUT direct the deepest manipulation.
