- *NEW* Filter Mode: Sawtooth Resonator featuring grindy, crunchy, circuit-bent growls, responds well to saw and square waves.
- *NEW* FilterMode: Hard Highpass filter featuring a bias control that tends to create pulse width modulation in the resonance characteristic.
- *NEW* ADSR Mode: ADSR with curve options, retrigger options 'always' or 'legato'
- *NEW* Modulation Sources: Midi velocity, Amplitude ADSR, Frequency ADSR
Filters of Mass Destruction (FMD)
FMD is going to be a filterbank containing filters inspired by synths from around the world, and beyond! There will be a focus on the destructive nature of turning up the resonance too high or driving the input too loud leading to the screams of bloody murder, the growls of demons, and the strangeness of hell-bent circuits. Don't worry! There will also be some clean filters as well. The goal for FMD is to be the one-stop-shop for every style of "analog" filter.
FMDs soon to be launched. Lives will be... changed.
Japan - オニ (Oni) Lowpass
- Inspired by the softer tones of Ian Fritz Threeler which is inspired by MS-20 from Japan. This filter exhibits light harmonic locking.
"Great progress has been made on creating a new form of energy. It must not get into the wrong hands as it could be used for evil, for filters of mass destruction." —nameless Japanese scientist
Japan - 信長 (Nobunaga) Lowpass
- This filter gives the maximum scream, which is inspired by the sound you get out of the MS-20 when you feed the filter's output back into itself.
"It is of great importance that we lead the world in advanced filter technology. Russia must not be allowed continue their filter expierments." —speech given by a Japanese cabinet member
Germany - Feuerlilie (Fire Lily) Lowpass
- German filters will be inspired by German maker Doepfer and their A-106-1 Xtreme Filter module.
"Our early filter reactor experiments have lead to this strange prototype filter." —unknown German physicist early Filter War
Germany - Nachzerher Lowpass
- Based on A-106-1 Xtreme filter, exhibits light harmonic locking, an addictive bubbly sound with rectified-sine-like resonance.
"The new filter core is ready. Prepare for the next phase." —unscrambled radio signal, Germany, origin unkown
Germany - Nosferatu Bandpass
A bandpass bretheren of Nachzerher filter, agressive, sharp, and biting like its name implies.
"Warning, radioactive leak in sector 4B, all non-essential personelle must evacuate facility until further notice." —Warning system, weapons manufacturing facility
Russia - РДС-1 (RDS-1) Lowpass
- Russian filters will be inspired by the Polivoks, a Soviet-era synthesizer with a filter that is warbly, unpredictable, chaotic.
"Our spies in Japan have uncovered highly secret plans for a power source. We could use this to build a filter of mass destruction and conquer all of Europe." —anonymous high ranking officer
Russia - Полевик-1 (Polevik-1) Lowpass
- Highly bubbly and chaotic triangular resonance.
"Our first filter core is highly unstable, but very promising." —name classified, lead of weapons research
Russia - Полевик-2 (Polevik-2) Lowpass
- Like Polevik 1, highly chaotic, but with more aggressive square resonance.
"This will be the end of Europe as we know it." —transcript of secret meeting, undisclosed location
Russia - Полевик-0 (Polevik-0) Bandpass
A cleaner polivoks-inspired sound but in bandpass form.
"Our engineers have stabilized the filter core and created a small but useful counterpart to the Polevik series." —<name removed>, head engineer of weapons researc=
Unknown Origin - %@^!:":%3 (Xenomorph) Lowpass
- This weird filter seems to have resonance leading up to the next oscillation. It has a gurgly sound.
"Strange sounds have beem eminating from the object I extracted from the craft. My mind is being affected. It must be destroyed." —anonymous civilian
Unkown Planet - ==+=/** (Human) Lowpass
- Another alien filter with strange resonance.
"We believe it reads 'Human'" —<missing info> area51 scientist
USA - Flower Child Lowpass
- All purpose super clean filter with searing hot resonance that can be overdriven.
"We want peace! No more war!" —chanting heard from the streets
Britian - Yellowjacket Bandpass
Aggressive resonant bandpass filter inspired by the EDP Wasp filter.
"We can stop the Russia-Germany alliance. This new weapon will send chills." —Commander <confidential, name removed>
Marauders - Junk Tube Bandpass
Tube-inspired bandpass filter, highly quirky and unpredictable with medium harmonic locking.
"We have enough stolen parts to make our own control rods." —Radio commnication, 5:30am, Kaibab National Forest.
Marauders - Junk Tube Lowpass
Tube-inspired lowpass filter with a strange resonance waveshape and strong harmonic locking.
"Our raid proved to be highly successful. We have plans for a prototype filter core." —Radio communication, unkown origin near Rocky Mountain, Colorado.
If there is a style of filter that FMD doesn't cover, then I will try to remedy that as more filters are added to FMD after release. More German, American, and Russian-style FMDs are coming, as well as the strange, the mad, and the inspired. Names, descriptions, images, and sound of filters is subject to change. Ok, everything is subject to change. Still working on the whole theme of this project.
