The sound of an analogue 4-Pole Transistor Ladder Filter has been hailed for decades. Synth lovers and music fanatics around the world fell instantly in love with its sound.
With Filton, you can inject the rich characteristics of a true analogue 4-Pole Ladder Filter with Transistor drive into your Eurorack setup. This 20HP module delivers two discreet filter signal paths that can also run in a stereo mode. With its carefully designed user interface, Filton allows direct control access to all important parameters.
Modal has a vital history in designing a modern transistor ladder filter, used in legendary products, like the Modal 002 and 001 synthesisers. The vibrant harmonics and smooth transistor drive deliver precisely the sound that demanding sound designers and musicians want from a modern reincarnation of this classic filter concept.
Filton’s transistor filter drive delivers organic textures ranging from warm subtle saturations to thick overdriven textures. Ideal for sound design, this dials in resonant harmonic peaks that can push sounds over the edge.
Filton’s polesweeping capabilities exceed the limitations of traditional filter designs and provide a playground for sculpting new and unusual sounds. Morph seamlessly from a 4-Pole Lowpass to a 1-Pole Highpass characteristic and turn the sonic content of your music upside down.
With carefully designed signal paths, Filton enables flexible patching options. Because Filton houses two discreet signal paths, you can process either a stereo signal, two mono sources independently or one mono signal in series or parallel processing.
Each filter features an audio input, four analogue CVs with attenuverter controls for FM, Resonance, Morph and Level, pitch tracking provided by the 1V/Oct input, an audio output and a mixed output. All CV inputs on Filter A have been normalled to Filter B, meaning any CV signal plugged into Filter A is automatically sent to Filter B if nothing is plugged into the corresponding input.
Filton comes with a sleek and stylish white 20HP matte powder-coated aluminium panel to fit right into any standard Eurorack system. The premium controls and connectors guarantee worriless operations for years to come.
