Classic SEM filter with contemporary improvements.
This filter is a "State Variable" circuit, which is an analog computer model of a pendulum. When the resonance is increased, the "damping" or stabilizing of the circuit is actually decreased. This makes the pendulum swing more wildly. If it is hit hard enough, it will swing all the way to one side and "stick" there, what is called "bonk out."
Many sound designers like the sounds that can be gotten as it goes into and out of "bonk out," so Boomstar has not made the filter "idiot proof" by limiting the input level and resonance amount. If you don't like it, limit your input level and/or resonance amount. Otherwise, go wild. It won't hurt the circuit.
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.
