PREFACE

First of all, congratulations on the purchase of this 3U Eurorack synthesizer

module. This manual contains a condensed description of the functionality

and addresses users with a certain level of elementary technical knowledge.

The CS-8 VCF1E is a very versatile, fully analogue, programmable and voltage-

controlled filter (VCF). It is capable of processing all sorts of audio signals. It is

designed for mounting into a 3U Eurorack with an internal +/- 12V power

supply.

Basically, two modes are possible. The classical filter mode with 12

selectable different functions (low-, high,- band-passes) and the haser

mode with also 12 haser-sounding combining modes (4x phaser-, 2x low-,

2x high,- 4x band-passes).

For the classic filter mode 3 different resonance modes are available, where

each of these generate for each filter function again different sound

impressions. So, there is no rule how to sound a certain selected resonance

mode. It depends on the selected function.

With a further 4-pos. rotary switch the resonance em hasize is dialable,

which provides further sound nuances. This is also equipollent to the

amplitude of the self-oscillation. An illuminated tactile switch allows to add a

unique 2nd harmonic distortion to the resonance sound.

The frequency range (cutoff) goes from 2 Hz to 40 kHz. A gain controller allows

input-to-output gains from -20 db to 0 db. A clip LED light up just before

output clipping.

Design and implementation meet highest technical standards concerning

usability, sound quality, and signal-to-noise ratio. The front panel is made from

powdered and printed piece of aluminium sheet metal of 2 mm gauge. The

entire design and production work was done in ermany.

Made in ermany
