Macbeth – XSeries Backend Filter

Macbeth - the x Series coninues with the XSeries Backend Filter This module comprises of an 3 Way Audio Input Mixer, A Control Voltage Input Mixer, A 24dB/Octave Voltage Controlled Filter with 4 tapped outputs, 2 Voltage Controlled Amplifiers and Control Envelope Generators. Bar one 'buffer' IC- the circuits are all discrete transistor, resistor and capacitor based. Just like the X-Series Dual Oscillator- the resistors are all half watt carbon types and the capacitors are a mix of ceramic/mylar types. The result of this design is an extremely warm and vibrant module. From the bass end up- the sound is consistently clean but full...this is down to pure discrete transistor design and PCB layout. A Response Switch sends the Filter Output into the first VCA and the choices in the final model are 6/12/18 and classic 24dB/Octave responses. A second VCA can be externally controlled for the final output and lends itself to AM applications and other Voltage Controlled Volume applications. As can be seen- all four responses can be tapped out via jack sockets and these are pre- VCA outputs. Each Envelope Generator provides control outputs- the VCF EG sports two outputs- both positive and negative. There is also a dual switch- providing both Momentary Trigger and Hold. Why 'Backend'? Effectively this combo module is like the backend of a classic analogue synthesizer. It has all the functionality of a full synth but just lacks the sound sources- all this in a compact 42hp 3U size!
