I had, then sold, a MN QPAS. Sort-of regretted it later, but then I saw this- smaller, twin-peaked, way more options and a deal more vicious-sounding. Sold!

Nice one Scott, there's plenty of filter videos on my channel if you need me to mess with your decision making some more! haha.

Thats exactly the kind of filter I was looking for, thanks!

Absolute great filter, and an absolute great demo too !

Just ordered from Perfect Circuit, thanks to your demo! Can't wait.

I have just bought the Belgrad because of you review, just what i needed to hear. Great as usual. Thanks, my fried!

9:05 Mode 9 and this module in general have a more "vocal" quality than the average filter. Will have to add it to my list! B - )

great video, thanks for this! Which filter would you recommend for heavy drones and ambient pads?

Well now, hello oh so interesting filter... Definitely some unique stuff coming out from these guys.... Out of sheer curiosity, what did you wind up feeding the filter with oscillator-wise?

The input sound in that first example looks so damn cool on the oscilloscope. Is that left-right movement some kind of sync effect?

Looks like a decent filter

@DivKid

absolutely is.

Damn this filter sounds crazy good. If you still have this + Kamieniec, would you consider doing your next E370 patch through these two? or just though this filter? I can only imagine how amazing the E370 would sound going through these puppies.

If you could only have the Belgrad or the Filter 8, and price wasn't a decision factor, which would you prefer? Alternatively, how would you use them together?

This would be super awesome with Odessa!

Can't decide on this or the dual Borg or the morgasmatron, any thoughts?

All sound pretty different. So if you can look beyond the feature differences go with whichever tone you prefer.

Another inspiring overview! A quick question... I noticed that the Belgrad's output appeared to be inverted on the Mordax Data compared to the input signal. Is that the Belgrad's doing or something else in the chain? Thx!

@pe00000001

6 жыл бұрын

Note that it depends in particular response. In general, all analog filters introduce phase shift that depends on frequency. It usually starts from zero at the lowest frequencies, reaches 90 deg at the cutoff point and is 180 degree above the cutoff point. That's where the inversion comes from. Hence, if you combine several responses (like in Belgrad) you have a combined effect of these phase shifts, depending on what mode the cores are in a particular configuration.

@laptopolist

6 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the reply. I understand that there will be phase shift, but in this instance the Belgrade signal was 180° out of phase throughout the demo, with offsets from that created by the processing.

Hey Matt and pe. pe is spot on, there's several points where's there's no inversion. There's lots of modules that actually invert the output without us knowing. For the most part when it's audio we don't realise

What module (oscillator) do you use to filter with Belgrad? (5:28)

@DivKid

it's a mix of a few things, analogue VCO, E352 and some noise by the sounds of it. Clipped in parts through a CP3 mixer.

It is not really wobbly when used, it doesn't feel very solid but after a year of heavy use, it's still right in place ;) besides, you're not going to tweak it like crazy while playing because of the "clicks" generated when changing the modes... (unless your music is compatible with clicks of course !)

Divkid always seems to use a wavetable oscillator for his demos, and i must also admit, i have thought the same before and asked, he used braid in a lot of his videos but this cloud terranium i must say is the business. I just got a Verbos Harmonic oscillator that i'm not loving as much as i thought i might, maybe its time for me to get a digital modules instead of my analog tendancies lol!

I was going to say in the beginning that this Belgrade demo sounded a bit "cold", but that was the oscillator used. Still a briliant filter and a great video showcasing the module.

@DivKid

Hey all, the first sound is a mix of all sorts, some analogue oscillators and some digital. The second bit with the saw wave is the E352. I use wavetables and digital oscillators for demos as they're just super handy sources to have to make things quickly. If I want some sort of DX style FM that's wave folded to make a bass line to then run through a delay I don't want to spend an hour patching that up before turning the camera on for the demo.

Is this an OTA filter at its heart?

@DivKid

not sure.

After tinkering with this filter for a while, personally, do you find it's SEM-esque, or more like another classic you know of? Or completely new?

@DivKid

Sounds like something new to me with all the options it has I haven't thought of it as based on anything particularly. I'm sure XAOC devices will discuss the core circuit with you if that's of interest.

In many demonstrations I've picked up the SEM quality. (which is a synth which employs the state-variable bandpass filter). You'll hear that quality here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/i3-Ks8Z9mrLem7g.htmlm34s (specifically at that 1:34 mark if that didn't auto-place you at that spot). Regardless, I have ordered one! Thank you for your video as well. Thumbs up

Honestly really hard to hear the basic character of the filter when your input is that terrible noise. Why not just sweep a saw?

Interesting filter, unfortunately some opportunities were given away. For example, it is not understandable why there is not 2x resonance control for the two different filters. This would have made much more possible in terms of sound. Great video as always.

@pe00000001

Ай бұрын

There IS dual resonance control, so you can have the two cores with different degree of resonance. This is what Balance does.

it feels to me that 90% of the sound you get here is coming from your oscillator and not the filter

@DivKid

in which bit? The filter drives and saturates and then of course filters. So that's the majority of sound shaping going on.

@SymbolicStudios
