Sherman FilterBank V2

2 100% analog filters "mono" or "pseudo stereo" of adjustable low pass to high pass; With multiple modulation sources which trigger envelloppe and lfo, FM, saturation, harmonic tuning of the filter résonnace 2, etc etc ... Note a large number of input jacks modulation source to the rear .. .

1 mono input jack, 1 output jack mono per filter.

UTILIZATION

The general configuration is it simple?

Not a bit. Say that knowledge in analog synthesis are more extensive to understand this filter, advanced features and make the most.

Editing sounds and effects is it easy?

it depends on what you want to do, can be very simple as very complex. In all cases it is almost a real instrument in its own right and in my opinion it is completely oriented towards experimentation and sound exploration.
In other words it's not plug and play but it's not what it was designed either (though see below)

The manual is clear and sufficient?
Yes, absolutely complete and so well written (in French please) that it becomes a source of inspiration.
Those who understand laminated ...

SOUND QUALITY

The effects are they effective, responsive and realistic enough?

What are we talking about exactly?
This is a resonant filter in the circuit with an input which allows to obtain in addition to the saturation (or even thousands).
So very typical, even violent with their own personality, that's why I love it. I is not violent as many have written ... sometimes racy and impetuous sometimes soft and smooth it is you who tweak ...
I saw an interview with the designer (which tests each filterbank in person) who said he had created to replace preamp Marshall ... once you know it is easier to understand why and how sound this thing ...

Suitable for electronic music ... there's no doubt it's in my studio and stay there long ...

Which instruments do you use? Which ones do you prefer, you hate?

As was said in another review, it is not the filter that comes modulated synth but almost synth that will modulate the filter, in all it's a bit like ...
if I tried to drum loops, this is the bomb, one or two synths routed in, this is the bomb, I have so many things to go inside

OVERALL OPINION

I have 2 months and I have tested a lot of filters on samplers, synths and softwares ... for now it became my reference ... It has its own identity and it is beautiful!

For the curious take a look on the web and see sherman artists who have used the site: carl craig or the chemical brothers (! On all their albums), when we know some textures are recognized elsewhere .. .

What I like most: his character, all its possibilities, infinite ... And of course ANALOG SOUND!

Money: very good if it takes time (I think yes). More by buying new you have a MUG sherman in the box then there is the offer unbeatable ...

I would do this choice 200% one day or another I'll buy a second ...

Analog filter trs powerful booster and dirty sound
rack-mount model
.. and many connectivity possibilities to add up to magnify the sound Filterbank

UTILIZATION

The manual is in french .. it offers exercises ..
trs is doing well
the configuration of the filter is simple ... a sound source is connected in between, you plug an adapter .., there is no switch

ownership not evident at the beginning ... in need aprendre tampering and is documented in the manual ..;

SOUND QUALITY

The effects are effective trs
the sound appears very big, do not do too much to not fall into the noise and industrial ...
It sounds Chemical Brothers, Prodigy .. .. breakbeat sound chemical

OVERALL OPINION

It's been since this morning
I love his sound .... the acid look, all spring .... a big loop of very cold spring idm trs deep .. I put him behind and audiorealismbassline ca + big slap in TB303

just before the test I have workstations (RS7000, mc909) a bar (Machinedrum), on it's really not comparable
I got it for 500 euros ... pretty decent price compared to quality of parcontre OCCASION .... 800 euro nine is expensive

I'm saving to buy other sherman filterbank

UTILIZATION

The config is excellent.
Three midi "through" it's really not lsin bravo!
It takes a little over aprentissage because of both the analog you really know where we're going to know how to get there.
But once one starts out that sounds, it is frie. Magic! The Heat
The manual is nice trs.

SOUND QUALITY

Ultra efficient.
I use it on everything, depending on the project.
Voices, drums, tablas, flute synth ... Every time I discovering new sounds.
I love everything about this machine.
I dlaisse some time, and now I rdecouvre - with much more information on filtering and synthses at the top, it is essential
It is a rgale!
If you find time, Do not hesitate, knowing that it takes time for learning, should not be press ...
Now I see it as an instrument by Entire.
The price is expensive, but given that it is hand made ...
Trs great machine!

OVERALL OPINION

For a year or two.
I love it!
I tried the FilterPro Line 6 is not the same thing, I do not even know if we can compare it both formulations ... (even if some sounds FilterPro trs are beautiful)
The only complaint with this price, the buttons could be fixs on the box more firmly, it's a shame, since they are running and returns all the time ...
I would do this CHOX is on.
