Gyrinx VCF Uninhibited Functional Testing Audio [Demo #4]

Been short on time through the holidays, so I thought I would make a quick video while I work :D
This one is a functional testing routine I'm performing on another batch of Gyrinx VCF modules for sale.
It is very revealing as to the sound character as I quickly run through all of the functions of the filter without thought to sound design.
Sound source is Pittsburgh Modular Primary Oscillator saw and square.
Off camera I have a Batumi for LFO modulation.
Sequencing by Keystep Pro.
No added effects or processing, recorded direct.
Watch your levels using headphones, some harsh tones ahead.

SH5-VCF: Beauty & Terror [Demo #3] (no jibber-jabber)

Some Darkscape Eurorack patches featuring the SH5-VCF.
Exploring some near-oscillation resonance sounds.
And frequency modulation of the VCF which this diode filter is so good at.
This time around using Big Sky Reverb and Timefactor Delay.
If you want to hear the naked filter alone the first two demos I made were bone dry no effects :D

I used different colored patch cables, so maybe you can glean what is going on.
If there are questions about that go ahead and pepper me in the comments.

SH5-VCF is all-analog eurorack adaptation of the Roland SH-5 Synthesizer Filter and Mixer.
Check my Reverb store for SH5-VCF availability

As per usual, listening w/ headphones or quality monitors is the best audio experience.
Watch your levels, this is a filter demo w/ some resonance ahead.
