The Sherman Filterbank is no more, but the Filterbank Version 2 will soon be here. Due in mid-February, the revised Filterbank maintains a similar layout while adding a number of new features, including more switches, footpedal input, more LEDs, and improved sound quality.
Price: US$799
What's new:
- There are 5 extra switches and 2 extra LEDs, and on the back panel there's
one pedal input jack. A reworked front-panel lay-out and the grey metal
color.
-
The pedal input (we will deliver footpedal separately) allows foot control
of freq1 and bypass/effect switching. (this footpedal will also be
especially designed by Sherman and will be released around April 2001)
-
A 5mm big green LED indicates "Effect on" on the FB 2
-
A 3-way switch on the input stage allows Hi boost as well Hi cut (both
boosting high frequencies at input)
-
Another 3-way switch allows "Sensitrig" (which makes the triggering twice
as sensitive for, e.g. clean string pad filtering) and "Limit", which leaves
the filters more "breathing room" for self-oscillation if the input stage is
extremely overdriven.
-
A 3-way switch has 2 general transpose functions : +1 Octave and + Quint
which works nice with monophonic signals, and has a specific dirty
character.
-
A 3-way switch for the really powerful and quite revolutionary "Tracking"
function - a monophonic pitch follower, that tunes filter 2 to the incoming
pitch, and makes filter 1 slave of filter 2 via the harmonics switch. E.g.
in position 2, filter 1 will be pitched one octave higher than filter 2, but
still following the pitch.
-
This extra switch activates the "tracking" in a normal or deep "track low"
position, with stunning basses as result.
-
The "revolutionary" aspect of this function is that never before any similar
system enhances "on the spot" harmonics and creates new harmonics with fat
analog circuits.
-
An extra white LED indicates when the tracking system is "locked on".
-
At last there is an 3-way function switch in the LFO section,
allowing sawtooth wave shape OR AR retrig : this forces an LFO restart from
the AR trig with pumping grooves as unavoidable result.
