LOOK MUM NO COMPUTER #1114 FILTER GRR VCF/VCA
The #1114 Filter Grr is the Eurorack version of the unique Look Mum No Computer funky filter with built in VCA.
So
this is a right weirdo! Coming from a want for a smaller filter for
some voices, this, an oscillator and an envelope generator can be put
together to be a small synth voice with distortion and uniquely strange
characteristics.
The
filter has different behavior depending on where the oscillator is in
the offset. It’s well suited for unipolar waveforms (all in + territory
as in the #1222 Performance VCO) but still works great with bipolar
ones.
Starting
from the LM13700 data sheet lowpass filter, the circuit has been
pushed, tweaked and expanded to produce some very funky sounds indeed.
It’s full of character and you can even get it to step and stuff. It’s
proper odd.
Its
a funky filter that sounds completely different depending on wether you
put unipolar or bipolar waveforms into it (you can bounce between with
the Shelf switch to increase its characteristics)
