[@christophbresch]

all i wanted was a stereo filter small enough to fit my case, ideally with automated stereo animation. i got all that and so much more i didn't know i was missing. i especially love the envelope follower and the behavior of the input gain. thank you (and peter) so much for the design!

[@Justin-gn7eh]

This filter has obviously proven itself 3yrs later - I just wanted to say how much I appreciate this style of video and detailed walkthrough. Super helpful

[@blindianajones]

Really appreciate the hp size, clear interface and the modulation features. Just ordered!

[@nimmenn]

Very nice, did not think I need another filter, but this surely "floats my boat" :)

[@agentb27]

Vaslav, It's a great filter, but your videos make it indispensable, simply because I can begin to see the full scope of its capabilities and importantly, have a sense of mastery. I wish every manufacturer presented their products in this level of detail. Thanks much.

[@norrin_sad2778]

Amazing! Thanks for putting time and effort into videos like these :)

[@Reyescult]

Sold! Much like the Pizza, it amazes me how you pack so much creatively useful functionality into 8hp without it feeling cramped or fiddly. Bravo!

[@temporoboto]

Man, you really made me want this filter. Good job!

[@cybermortal1983]

Great design and sounds great. Great demo too thanks.

[@fuzzpope]

Excellent, you guys have been on an incredible run the last two years, Bravo

[@f___v]

Can we have similar videos for Dark Matter and Waver, please?

[@brianreilly6545]

Awesome tutorial and filter! You nailed this creation, praises and thanks!

[@longcat]

great sounding filter... & what's not to love about hearing vaclef talking x

[@simonjefferytaylor]

Wow...i bought this because i needed a stereo filter... but the mono input and mono output stuff is amazing 😂❤

[@knobsstrings]

Totally sick! 🤩

[@pyrox2518]

really nice filtere!

[@F_letc.h]

Thank you for this tutorial. There is a lot of synthesis in this filter, and I don’t think I would have fully understood it without this explanation.

[@bastlinstruments]

You are welcome Brian! For more get to our community server! discord.gg/C4RXRjgYJ6

[@precarious333music]

Fucking brilliant compact design! So smart. I love this. Envelope follower and VCA?!?!? I feel like I need to sell a few filters to replace with Ikarie.

[@theanalogkidmodular]

Aaaaaand...preordered!!

[@Jimantronic]

Cool walkthrough of a great product. Envelope follower is a really good addition. Order placed!

[@bastlinstruments]

Thank you for your support!

[@NutritionalZero]

It's great!!!

[@PercivalThe23]

ordered finally one!

[@bastlinstruments]

❤️❤️❤️ thank you for your support!

[@herzaincarmona4810]

I was putting off buying this filter because of how complex it seemed to be able to just “filter” a signal but I’m glad I bought it, it is so flexible and the sheer amount of features in such footprint is indispensable in any size system in my opinion. Great work Bastl.

[@bastlinstruments]

Thank you so much for your support!

[@dedidude220]

sold! just order one!

[@danielkibbee1907]

This filter is pretty much why I am building a case. So rad.

[@bastlinstruments]

We wish you happy euro journey!

[@MUNRO13]

Bought it, favourite filter.

[@PercivalThe23]

problems with the volume drop in the middle position of the cutoff knob?would maybe bother me...

[@MUNRO13]

@@PercivalThe23 only if you have the resonance up. As in the middle the cutoff is effectively 0hz so the resonace peak is not audible. I have no issues.

[@bewareimjumped]

Вацлав 🤘🏻

[@sinkronize]

Very nice filter and presentation! Could this bring external line level to eurorack level with that 5x input gain? Thanks in advance!

[@bastlinstruments]

Hello Horia, it kinda can (eurorack is 10x hotter than line input) but there can be problem with impedance so we recommend to use Buddy to bring anything to eurorack levels with its 20x amplification. And you need to use only one TRS cable! So great for hybrid setups!

[@Limbic1000]

Great thing! But why are the leds lights ts are not blinking..? 😉

[@bastlinstruments]

The lights are just a little bit dim on this particular unit.

[@tilliinfinity]

is it analog? sounds great

[@bastlinstruments]

fully analog

[@mntbighker]

How does it ping?

[@bastlinstruments]

YOu can look at Noise.Kitchen instagram. They are pinging 3 Ikarie there!

[@FunkTree]

Who needs qpas

[@mntbighker]

Wondering that myself actually.
