I'm wondering whether the Diva filter add-on in HZ will ever be "packaged" into a stereo filter? I imagine that would require ganging 1/2 and 3/4 into pairs where the controls are locked together.
This would be hugely useful. Barring that, are there any tricks to using the Diva filters in a way that preserves stereo? Some patches can be built using two lanes (one filter each) and then panning the lanes apart. This is clunky though, and fiddly in terms of having to make any parameter adjustments twice.
There are some situations that I don't know how to make work at all though. Say for instance that I have two oscillators "cross panning" (one LFO modulating both of their "pan" params but oppositely.) They go one above the other on a lane, then into an XMF and all is well.
How would I do this with the Diva filters though? I realize this is sort of an artificial example and I could actually simulate it in other ways by manipulating post-filter pan or volume. But I'd really like to find some way to preserve any left/right state from *before* the filters.
Is there a way to hook that up, I assume using two lanes and two Diva filters? I can't see how to maintain any stereo even using two lanes and two filters. Can a module's output be split so that its left output goes to one lane and its right output to a different lane? Or some other similar trick?
Thanks...

You can do it by having a signal chain (osc's + whatever) in channel 1
then use a mix module in channel 1 and pan it all the way left
add a mix module in channel 2 using channel 1 for input and pan it all the way right
then in each channel place a Diva filter
then in each channel use another mix module and pan the output from the Diva filter to the left and to the right
voila'

Ah. Yes... that's exactly what I was missing. After taking a disappointingly long time to get my head around the Mix module of all things (was confused about how it mixed between its "input" lane and its "sidechain" lane, not able to figure out how to disconnect one or the other of those, finally getting that it was a *mixer* and not a mixer *channel* and that the mix knob wasn't a volume knob (a big "duh!" to all of that), I've got it now.
A note... you don't strictly need the post-filter mixer modules, but if you don't use them you have to dedicate the lanes to left or right by panning at the lane level. Just in case you don't want to use up your other pair of mixers.
I'm still curious about how to disconnect an input rather than force-choose from lanes 1-4 (or "same"). Also, it would be nice of the mix knob was labelled "input" on one side and "sidechain" on the other, just for people like me who are being a little dense about the whole operation. But that's a nitpick... or maybe a flaw in my thinking, not in the Mix module.
