ELECTRIX Analog Filter Factory effect 4 Remix DJ synth Electrix Filter Factory Analog Filter rackmount effect w/Buzz & Trim Download the users manual here: http://media.musicalplanet.com/pdf/ELX001.PDF Comes w/power cable, please download the manual above This is a classic limited production filter very well built and in great condition. It is analog circuitry with midi control and automation on all the buttons and knobs. great for remix dj, studio production, and live performances. Features: 2x 1/4" inputs 2x RCA inputs - Line & Phono level for connecting a Turntable w/ground - Yes its also a phono pre-amp! 2x 1/4" outputs 2x RCA outputs line level Midi In/Out/Thru w/assignable midi channel Control Voltage CV 1v/Oct L&R + Footswitch 100-240v adjustable The Filter Factory is a stand-alone 2-unit rack module stereo/mono analog filter. Use it to filter drum loops, synth arpeggiations, vocal tracks or entire mixes! It features notch, low-, high- and band-pass filtering modes. It functions as a stereo filter with a 2-pole slope, or in mono with a 4-pole slope. Big fat knobs allow hands on real-time tweaking of the Frequency Cutoff, Resonance, LFO Depth and Speed, Distortion and more. Plus it's totally MIDI equipped for recording, triggering and sequencing tweaks of the various parameters. The Filter Factory is great for DJ's and for Musicians. It sounds great and IS analog with digital control, stability and features. 'Momentary' buttons allow you to drop in or tap in an effect, either the filter or the distortion which is great for live situations! The LFO section allows you to generate nice sweeping filter effects or other weird modulations. There's a Tap-Tempo to match the LFO to the stuff your filtering too. Truly worth getting! It has been used by U2, John Digweed, Freddy Fresh, La Peste, Peace Off, Hellfish & DJ Producer, DJ Pure, and the Chemical Brothers. CONTROLS: Buzz Sets the amount of distortion. The more buzz, the more distortion you will have. Buzz will take you from subtle, at the farthest left, to heavy distortion at the farthest right. NOTE: Buzz will increase the level of your output signal substantially as you turn it up. Use the Trim control to get the level back to where you want it while the Buzz circuit is engaged. Buzz Engage Toggles the buzz circuit in and out. Buzz Momentary Temporaily engages the buzz circuit. This is useful for tapping patterns to create distortion hits and rhythms. Note: When an effect is engaged, the Momentary will dis-engage it, when an effect is not engaged the momentary will engage it. Buzz Trim Sets the output level of the Buzz circuit. This can be set anywhere from inaudible to extremely loud. Use with caution. Stereo Filter Frequency Sets the resonant frequency of the stereo filter. Use it in conjunction with the resonance control. The more resonance you use the more distinct any changes you make with frequency will be. The frequency tuning range of the filter covers a 12 octave range from 10 Hz to 40 kHz. The External CV input can control this and has been adjusted to provide standard 1 Volt/Octave response. Stereo Filter Resonance The FilterFactory operates in a Stereo 2 Pole filter per channel mode, (unless you switch to 4 Pole mode). When in Four Pole mode, the FilterFactory switches into Mono operation by summing the left and right channels before the 4 pole filter. A two pole filter will give you a gentler response, in technical terms it is defined as a 12dB/octave filter. A 4 pole or 24dB/octave filter will give you a much steeper filter response that will sound more pronounced. Stereo Filter Type This control selects the basic sound of the filter. Each filter type has a unique sound. You will find situations where each one offers you a unique effect on a given signal. The High Pass will roll off the bass of your signal. It will make things sound thinner. The Band Pass filter acts like Wah pedal and puts a peak in the middle of your signal. This is great for hilighting certain frequency ranges or for creating a sweeping sound with the frequency knob. The Notch Filter works the exact opposite of the Band Pass filter. It puts a notch in your signal, essentially killing a small frequency band. This effect often sounds like talking through a pipe. It will also create unique sweeping sounds, (that is similar to a phase shifter) when used in conjunction with the frequency knob. For best Notch result put the Resonance knob fully counter-clockwise. The Low Pass Filter is the most commonly used filter type. This is the kind of filter you will find on vintage synths and envelope followers. It is useful for controlling the amount of harmonics or the brightness of a signal. As you sweep the frequency control, try adding some resonance to make the cutoff frequency more audible. Stereo Filter Engage This control toggles the filter on and off. Turning this on restarts the LFO or triggers it if it is in single shot mode. Filter Momentary This switch temporarily engages the stereo filter. Try using it to tap rhythmic patterns while adjusting the frequency knob. Pressing this button also restarts the LFO. Stereo Filter 4 Pole Mono This controls the level of the peak at the resonant frequency of the filter, i.e. the frequency you dialed in with the frequency knob. FilterFactory was designed to create extreme effects, so be careful because the resonance control is able to cause the filters to self-oscillate at higher settings. Self oscillation produces a loud tone at the resonant frequency. It sounds a lot like sustained feedback. LFO Waveform The LFO provides the following cyclic (or repetitive) waveforms: Sawtooth, Inverse Sawtooth, Triangle, Square Wave, Envelope Follow and Random. If you increase the LFO depth and turn the LFO speed up a bit you will be able to hear their effect on your frequency setting. Note: Although ENV Follow isn’t a waveform we put it here anyway. To get it working, select ENV Follow, set the frequency down to 115Hz, on a Low Pass Filter, set your resonance to 7.5 and adjust the LFO depth to taste. LFO Singleshot This button changes how the Filter and the LFO Sections on your FilterFactory. Singleshot gives you the ability to trigger Filter Effects in a simular way that playing a note on an old synthesizer will trigger VCF and VCA Envelopes. The FilterFactory Singleshot Envelopes are borrowed from the LFO section. When single shot is on, Triangle, Sawtooth, and Inverse Sawtooth all become triggerable envelopes. The Division button allows you to select how many time the waveform envelope will trigger. LFO Speed adjusts the duration of the envelope, and the Filter Momentary triggers the envelope. Note: Singleshot does not work when the ENV Follower is selected. Note 2: If the Filter is not engaged, the Singleshot does not automatically finish the waveform. LFO Tap Tempo The tap tempo button is another way to control the LFO rate to match the beat of your music. When it is hit one time, it will restart the LFO at the beginning of its waveform. If it is hit twice within 2 seconds, then the time between presses is used as the new rate or tempo. It is hit 3 or more times, it will average the time between presses to come up with a more accurate tempo. LFO Depth This controls the amount the LFO changes the filter frequency. LFO Speed LFO Speed controls the period of the LFO waveforms by changing the frequency of the LFO. The LFO Frequency range covers 0.1 Hz to 100 Hz for subtle to extreme effects. LFO Division The LFO rate, as defined by Tap Tempo or MIDI clock can be divided (or doubled) using this control. The actual rate is indicated by the flashing tempo LED. Global Effect Mix Controls the Mix of the Buzz and Filter Sections in relation to your dry signal. 0% is all dry, or the same as bypassing the FilterFactory. 100% will be all FilterFactory and none of your dry signal. Global Bypass Bypasses both effect blocks. We accept payments via PayPal is required no later than 5 days after the end of the auction.
