2 multimode filters, LPF, BPF and HPF
What is unique is the strong possibility of increased gradually in BPF LPF or HPF and BPF in the coup to get a filter halfway, something I've never seen anywhere.
The filter can apparently down to 0Hz! it gives strange results when one comes close.
You can put both filters in parallel or in series or a few things in between with a rotary designated for that purpose.
It can synchronize the filter 2 to 1 with the Harmonics button that allows a constant distance from the filter 1. It goes from the (same frequency) 1 1 / 5 (fifth), 2 (octave), 3 (third harmonic: octave + fifth ),..., until the 10th harmonic.
Modulation level is complete super LFO, ADSR, ADSR envelope follower with.
The LFO to a cycle that can go 15 minutes, until it produces a note sharp enough that produces a ring modulator type. The LFO can be triggered by the envelope.
The resonance is sharp (it can be done from self-oscillation quite easily
) so that side should be careful.
The use of a compressor is recommended because its dynamics is very important.
UTILIZATION
Considering the possibilities of this machine it takes quite a drive I think.
It brings analog synthesis far enough, given the amount of parameter and their impact is hard enough on each button (eg LFO)
SOUND QUALITY
The sound of this filter is unique, it can be used sparingly and do what other filters already but this is not the main interest.
This is more of an instrument because it changes drastically the sound that is sent.
One comes to believe that the sound is sent in only serves to modulate the filter.
My first objective was to find a unique sound for my bass. I was not sure of my shot because no bass player on the net does not share this combination. Well it works great! I have a copy of Shin-ei FY-2 (chainsaw fuzz type) used by King Crimson and Radiohead among others.
It converts the analog synth bass with a square filtré.Le Sherman captures this kind of distorted sound mushy and more when we do go on ring modulation.
I tried also sampled rhythms, analog drum machine, rhodes, synth monophonic synth on a sheet of room, it works everywhere provided to make appropriate use of these derniers.Un setup time is quite important necessary.
OVERALL OPINION
It's been two days that I have and I use non-stop.
It is a beautiful object that has a lot of personality.
I tried the Filter Factory (nothing) is polished, it classical, Moog nice but still far from providing that the Sherman offers, DOD envelope filter is simple and succinct and then due to others that are integrated into the various analog synths (moog prodigy, korg 900p, Oscar ,...) or digital I use.
What I like least is the MIDI implementation which is a shame too low when you consider that this filter is controlled digitally (for harmonics in particular). It is a pity as it does there is no system for storing presets.
But all that we forgive him easily as the rest is flawless.
However the implementation of the CV Gate could not be more complete and I am anxious to see interact with other analog components.
