      Description

      Morphing SVF

      The E430 is a faithful re-creation of the classic Oberheim SEM 12dB/oct state-variable filter with 3 added features:

      Individual filter outputs: Low-Pass, Bandpass, Notch, and High-pass
      Voltage-controlled Morph output: sweeps between LP-BP-HP or LP-Notch-HP via panel switch
      Voltage-controlled Resonance
      The original SEM circuitry was not "improved" or updated. Great care was spent through measurements and beta testing to duplicate the SEM's unique sound. The design incorporates 40 year old circuits such as:

      LM301 audio input op amp
      LM741 resonance op amp
      RC4558 audio summing op amps
      Discrete JFET current buffers between filter sections
      CA3080-class OTAs
      No self-resonance unless patched externally
      Other features includes 2 FM inputs (FM1 is a reversing attenuator) and user-programmable LED color for the Morph switch (see the video in the DEMO section).

      The 18HP wide E430 has a MSRP of $339, which includes FREE domestic shipping. This production run is limited to 210 modules, due to parts constraints.
