Mutable Instruments Blades

MUSICAL FEATURES

Blades are dual multimode filters with CV controllable wave folding capabilities.The clean 12dB / oct multimode filter oscillates beautifully over the entire audio range. Blades filter characteristics are continuously variable between lowpass / bandpass / highpass, providing an intermediate shelving response for more delicate spectral synthesis.In addition, by installing a dual crossfader circuit that enables routing between two filters by knob operation, it can be used as a single unit, in parallel, or in series.ContinuouslyIt can be changed.

Overdrive circuit

• CV controllable overdrive stage mounted in front of each filter
• Overdrive response by potSoft clipping ~ Wave foldingAnd can be adjusted continuously.

Two multi-mode filters

• Clean 2-pole (12dB / oct), continuously variable design
• CV controllable filter characteristics.Continuous between low pass / band pass / high passVariable type
• Filter cutoff and resonance with CV input with attenu barter
• Equipped with 1V / Oct tracking CV input for each filter
• Clean self-oscillation over the entire audio range, including infrasound with stable amplitude
• Phase modulation during self-oscillation Modulation to filter response that produces the same effect

Routing potential

• CV control is also possible for routing.It changes continuously from a single unit to parallel and series.
• When patched to the audio input of filter 2, the routing control acts as a crossfader that mixes outputs 1 and 2 on the main output.
• The shift button cuts off filter 2.Can be set relative to the cutoff of filter 1
