Erica Synths Resonant Filterbank – Stereo Analog Filterbank & FX Instrument

The Erica Synths Resonant Filterbank is a desktop stereo analog filterbank that doubles as a sound-shaping instrument and live performance FX unit. Ten resonant bandpass filters spread across the audible spectrum let you boost, cut, compress and modulate any incoming signal – drum machines, modular gear, synths, guitars or even no-input feedback loops.

Key Features

• 10-band analog stereo filterbank: Hands-on boost / cut sliders across 29 Hz to 11 kHz with 17 dB/decade slopes
• 20 LFOs and envelope followers: Modulate any parameter for evolving textures, gates and rhythmic motion
• Snapshot morphing: 128 preset slots with seamless real-time morphing between configurations
• Spectral analyser & dynamic EQ: Visualise the signal and use the filterbank as a mastering-style multiband processor
• +24 dB analog gain stage: Drives guitars, line gear and modular signals into musical saturation
• Studio-ready connectivity: Balanced 6.3 mm stereo I/O, DIN MIDI in, footswitch input and USB for firmware and patches

Customer Benefits

The Resonant Filterbank gives producers, sound designers and live performers a single creative tool that bridges the filter, EQ, FX and instrument worlds. Use it to colour a mix, generate experimental tones with self-oscillating resonance, or animate a static sound with deep modulation – all with the tactile, hands-on feel that defines Erica Synths.
