Rodec M-104 – Stereo Dynamic Filter

OVERVIEW

The M-104 Stereo Filter combines the warmth of classic analog filters with innovative design, offering unparalleled flexibility for sound shaping. Whether you’re enhancing a mix, performing live, or designing intricate sonic textures, the M-104 delivers depth, character, and movement to your audio. With its dynamic envelope, smooth LP/HP transitions, and CV integration, it’s the perfect addition to any audio toolkit.

KEY HIGHLIGHTS

Comprehensive Sound Control

Sculpt your audio with precision using features like dynamic Drive for warm analog saturation, fine-tune output adjustments, responsive dynamic envelopes, seamless low-pass to high-pass transitions, precise cutoff frequency control, and resonant self-oscillation for rich harmonic textures and vintage tones.

Bypass Functionality

A dedicated ON button provides true bypass functionality, completely removing the module from the signal path when unlit.

Control Voltage Compatibility

The filter is fully compatible with CV (Control Voltage) signals, enabling external modulation for advanced filter sweeps and rhythmic dynamics.

Sound Design

Create dynamic textures and evolving soundscapes with the dynamic envelope and smooth LP/HP transitions.

Mix Enhancement

Sculpt frequency ranges with precision to add warmth, clarity, or movement to your tracks. Performance and Modulation: Leverage the CV input for synchronized filter sweeps and rhythmic effects, perfect for both live and studio environments. Analog Saturation: Use the Drive knob to introduce rich harmonic distortion, reminiscent of classic vintage analog gear.

FEATURES

• 6 Control Knobs: Drive, Out, Dyn (Dynamic Envelope), LP/HP (Low-Pass/High-Pass Transition), Frequency, and Resonance
• True Bypass
• CV Control
• Dynamic Soundscaping: Smooth LP/HP Transitions for Evolving Textures

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

• Filter Type:
  • Stereo analog filter inspired by classic synth-style designs.
  • Supports Low-Pass (LP) and High-Pass (HP) filtering with seamless transition control.
• Control Knobs:
  • Drive: Adds +20 dB of input gain, allowing you to saturate the signal for warm, analog-style overdrive
  • Out: Fine-tune output levels with make-up gain control, ensuring optimal levels without overloading downstream ADCs or other equipment.
  • Dyn (Dynamic Envelope): Dynamically adjusts the filter frequency based on input volume, adding a natural, responsive envelope effect to the sound.
  • LP/HP (Low-Pass/High-Pass Transition): Seamlessly move between low-pass and high-pass filtering, offering exceptional flexibility for tonal shaping.
  • Frequency: Precisely sets the cutoff frequency, enabling smooth and creative filtering for both LP and HP modes.
  • Resonance: Controls the filter resonance, capable of self-oscillation, producing powerful harmonics and vintage synth tones.
• Bypass Functionality:
  • True Bypass: Dedicated ON button removes the module entirely from the signal path when deactivated.
• Control Voltage (CV) Compatibility:
  • Fully CV-compatible for external modulation, enabling synchronized filter sweeps and advanced rhythmic dynamics.
• Performance Features:
  • Dynamic Sound Design: Craft evolving soundscapes with responsive dynamic envelopes and flexible filter transitions.
  • Analog Saturation: Add warmth and character using the Drive knob for rich, vintage-inspired harmonic distortion.
