Shelves

EQ ﬁ lter

Tips and patch ideas

• Practice by sculpting a very rich and wide-band

material like white noise.

• Patch a low, constant CV (for example -5V) into the

low-shelf’s (or high-shelf’s) GAIN input to use it as a

high-pass (or low-pass) ﬁ lter

• Sweep and shift the whole EQ curve across the

spectrum by modulating the global FREQ input.

• Strange phase-y sounds can be obtained by setting

the two parametric sections to slightly different

frequencies, then using one for boost and the other

for attenuation. They will largely compensate each

other in terms of gain, but create a phase shift.

• Use Shelves in the feedback loop of an FX proces-

sor, or for subtly balancing a complex patch based

on feedback.

• Control Shelves from a quadrature LFO or Mutable

Instruments’ Frames. With a harmonically rich VCO

as an input signal, this is a good recipe for space-y,

evolving drones!

• A bit of equalization, simulating the body of an

instrument, is sometimes just enough to take a

physical modelling patch out of the uncanny valley.

Modiﬁ cations

A jumper can be installed, or a switch can be wired, on

the 1x3 pin selector available on the back of the module

and labelled -6dB / 0dB. This adds a switchable -6dB

gain on the input signal, giving you more headroom for

extreme boosting.

The two parametric sections are realized with 2-pole

state-variable ﬁ lters. The individual low-pass, band-

pass, and high-pass outputs of these two ﬁ lters are

available on two 1x3 pin connectors.
