Subdecay Prometheus - Resonant Filter
Estimated arrival - Sep 08
The Prometheus is a voltage controlled 12dB filter which can be manipulated by playing dynamics or an internally generated signal.
What's it do?
The Prometheus is everything you've ever wanted in a filter pedal.
* Loads of headroom
* Reasonable size (measures about 3.7x4.7 inches)
* Highpass, Bandpass, and Lowpass filtering with adjustable intensity (resonance)
* Forward and reverse envelope following
* Sample/Hold step filtering based on 3 different wave forms.
* No special power supplies required. Operates with a single 9 volt battery or standard 9 volt adapter.
All that and it has some "hidden features" as well.
* The LFO rate can be adjusted to run much faster than the the step rate. This can be used to create very interesting arpeggiation.
* The Depth knob can push the filter cutoff frequency outside of the audio range. This can be useful to create a slow attack effect.
* The step rate can be turned up high enough for smooth modulation. This can be used to create and autofilter effect, that can sound similar to a phaser or tremolo.
* A fixed filter effect is possible by turning the depth knob down all the way, and using the Frequency knob to set the filter cutoff.
